Iran Rejects U.S. Response, Warns of Regional Attacks Amid Ongoing Tensions

Iran Rejects U.S. Response, Warns of Regional Attacks Amid Ongoing TensionsPreviousNext

Iran's Supreme National Security Council head, Mohsen Rezaei, described the latest U.S. response to proposals aimed at ending the conflict and reopening the Strait of Hormuz as "insufficient." He warned that if fighting escalates, Iran may target regional data centers, cables, and AI facilities. The U.S. has accepted some conditions but left others unclear. Meanwhile, Israel's former attorney general testified in corruption cases against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and Iranian-backed Houthis claimed recent strikes on Saudi airports amid rising regional tensions.
