In Saudi Arabia, Iran has identified the Ghawar oil field, the Abqaiq oil processing facility, and the Khurais oil field as potential targets.
The reported retaliation plan also mentions Kuwait's Burgan oil field, Bahrain's Sitra refinery and Al-Mihaj, along with Israel's Leviathan and Tamar offshore natural gas fields. Iran has reportedly prepared a comprehensive plan to respond if the US or its allies launch another military operation.
