Iran Warns Gulf States of Possible Strikes on Energy Infrastructure
Iran has reportedly warned U.S.-aligned Gulf states that allowing American forces to use their military bases or territory for renewed attacks against Iran could trigger Iranian retaliation against infrastructure across the region.
According to the reported intelligence assessment, the warning includes potential strikes against oil refineries, offshore energy facilities, and electricity and water infrastructure in countries such as Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar.
The reported threat would significantly raise the risks for Gulf states hosting U.S. military forces, potentially turning their territory and critical infrastructure into targets if Washington launches another major operation against Iran.
The warning also highlights the broader regional risks surrounding any renewed U.S.-Iran confrontation, particularly for energy production, electricity supplies, water infrastructure and global oil markets.
The reported intelligence assessment has not established that such attacks are imminent, while the specific Iranian plans and targeting details remain unconfirmed.
