Iranian military forces have announced that they will target infrastructure across the Middle East in response to potential US strikes on Iranian territory.
According to the Operative Information Center-OMM, Ibrahim Zulfagari, a representative of Iran's "Hatam al-Anbiya" military command, stated that any US attack on Iranian infrastructure could result in the destruction of other facilities throughout the region. Iran has also emphasized that it will not permit US interference in matters concerning the Strait of Hormuz.
US President Donald Trump has stated that he will not set a deadline for resuming negotiations with Tehran and will not provide warnings before striking targets within Iran. Tensions between the two nations have escalated significantly since July 7. Reports indicate that on the night of July 12, US forces conducted strikes against approximately 140 targets in Iran, the Persian Gulf, and near the Strait of Hormuz. Since the onset of the current tensions, it is reported that the US has carried out over 300 attacks.
The targets of these operations reportedly include missile and drone bases, naval facilities, ammunition depots, communication systems, and coastal surveillance posts located in the cities of Bushehr, Gangan, and Dirah.
US President Donald Trump announced the end of the ceasefire with Iran during the NATO summit held in Ankara on July 8. In response, the Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, declared that the era of unilateral agreements has concluded and threatened the US with retaliatory measures.
