Iran has warned of sweeping retaliation if the US or Israel launches fresh strikes, unveiling a reported target list of major energy infrastructure across the Middle East. According to Iran's Tasnim News, potential targets include Saudi Arabia's Ghawar, Abqaiq and Khurais oil facilities, the UAE's Zakum field and Ruways refinery, Qatar's North Field and Ras Laffan LNG hub, Kuwait's Burgan field, Bahrain's Sitrah refinery, and Israel's Leviathan and Tamar gas fields. The warning follows reports that US President Donald Trump is considering attacks on Iranian energy infrastructure to pressure Tehran in ceasefire negotiations. Iran says it has prepared a comprehensive response plan, while Washington has announced no final decision. (PC: Reuters)
