Iran Warns Gulf Nations of Major Response
Iran declared energy infrastructure in the Persian Gulf, including the South Pars gas field, as 'legitimate targets' following an Israeli attack, escalating geopolitical tensions into potential cyber-physical threats. Gulf nations' critical energy assets, particularly LNG and oil facilities, face heightened risk of retaliatory attacks, including sabotage or cyber operations. Immediate risk assessment and defensive measures are urged for operators in the region.
