Potential targets could include Iranian military installations, energy infrastructure and nuclear facilities. However, Trump has not made a final decision on whether to authorise the strikes. The report also warned that Iran and Yemen’s Houthi rebels could retaliate against US personnel and facilities if Washington launches a fresh attack. (PC: X)
