The plan involves striking political and administrative centers if Tehran deems actions against it to be terrorism.

Iran has announced the completion of a comprehensive military operational plan designed to expand the scope of targets in the event of renewed military conflict. A high-ranking Iranian national security official, cited by Tasnim news agency, stated that the military command has determined its course of action for a new confrontation and warned adversaries of a response that will exceed expectations.

The official indicated that the potential targets would not be limited to military infrastructure but could include political institutions and administrative centers. This scenario, he explained, is being considered if Iran's adversaries engage in actions that Tehran classifies as terrorism. While specific countries were not named, the threats emerge amid ongoing tensions between Iran, Israel, and the United States, with Israel being a primary regional adversary.

These statements follow warnings from U.S. officials to several Middle Eastern nations about potential escalation after the U.S. midterm elections, possibly involving strikes on Iranian targets and subsequent retaliation. Concurrently, reports from Arab media suggest preliminary diplomatic progress between Washington and Tehran, with discussions about direct negotiations after key issues are resolved, though no final agreement has been reached.

A major obstacle to de-escalation remains Iran's nuclear program. The U.S. is demanding concessions, including access for international inspectors, while Iran seeks initial steps from Washington such as sanctions relief, unfreezing assets, and cessation of military operations. Previously, it was reported that American oil companies profited significantly from the conflict with Iran.
