Iran Threatens Regional Energy Sites Amid Reports of US Strike Plans

Iran has threatened to target key energy infrastructure across the Middle East if the United States or Israel launches fresh military strikes. According to Iran's state-affiliated Tasnim News Agency, Tehran has identified major oil and gas installations in six countries as potential targets.

The reported targets include Saudi Arabia's Ghawar oil field, the world's largest conventional oil field, as well as the Abqaiq and Khurais processing facilities. In the United Arab Emirates, Iran named the Zakum oil field and the Ruways refinery, while Qatar's North Field and Ras Laffan natural gas facilities also featured on the list.

Tehran warns of retaliation against any potential US or Israeli attacks on Iranian infrastructure. A senior Iranian security official described reports of possible attacks as 'a kind of madness' and stated that Iran has prepared a comprehensive plan to respond to any potential American recklessness.
