Iran is threatening to strike civilian targets and energy infrastructure in Gulf states, as well as pursue nuclear escalation, should Israel and the United States renew their air campaign against it. This was reported by The Jerusalem Post and network i24NEWS.

According to the report in The Jerusalem Post, Tehran aims to inflict even greater pain in the event of renewed conflict. The threats come at a time when interceptor missile stockpiles for air defense systems in Israel and among US-aligned Gulf nations are under heavy pressure.

An official response to the threats has not yet been issued by Washington or Jerusalem, and further details have not yet been released.
