Iran: Iran has expanded its list of potential targets to include American economic assets, Iranian media reported Sunday.
According to Anadolu Agency, the Fars News Agency, citing an unnamed Iranian official, said that Tehran had revised its targeting strategy so that it would no longer focus solely on US and Israeli military sites. The official indicated that Iran has broadened its 'list of targets' to include 'American capital and interests.'
The official further explained that this decision followed changes in statements by US and Israeli officials, which he described as now including direct threats against the Iranian people. Late Sunday, the US and Israel carried out airstrikes targeting oil storage facilities in and around Tehran, causing significant damage to several facilities, including the Shahran Oil Depot.
Regional tensions have escalated since Israel and the US launched a joint attack on Iran on February 28, resulting in more than 1,200 deaths, including Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, and injuring over 10,000 others, according to Iranian authorities. In response, Tehran has retaliated with missile and drone attacks targeting Israel, Iraq, Jordan, and Gulf countries hosting US military assets.
