An expert on Iran has warned that Tehran may launch a preemptive strike, potentially targeting not only Israel but also Persian Gulf nations, American interests, and critical internet infrastructure. Dani Sitrinovich, speaking on 103FM radio, described this scenario as "quite realistic" and outlined potential shifts in Iran's strategic focus.
Sitrinovich explained that Iran has invested significantly in rebuilding its military capabilities, particularly its missile systems, though efforts to restart production have yielded only partial success. The expert noted that Tehran is working to improve missile accuracy and develop methods to overcome Israel's air defense systems.
However, Sitrinovich believes that in a new confrontation, the primary targets might shift from Israel to Persian Gulf countries. He suggested Iran could target data centers, artificial intelligence infrastructure, and underwater internet cables passing through the Strait of Hormuz. The expert also did not rule out a direct invasion of Kuwait and Bahrain.
Sitrinovich emphasized that any change in Iran's tactics would likely focus on pressuring Gulf states and undermining the American military presence in the region. He concluded that while Iran would still attempt attacks against Israel, the main strategic thrust would be directed at the Gulf states.
