Iran prepares for renewed conflict, threatens key regional targets

Iranian news agency Tasnim, affiliated with the Revolutionary Guards, reports Iran is preparing for possible renewed fighting and threatens to target the Bab al-Mandab Strait, Saudi Aramco, Yanbu Port, and Fujairah Port. The agency claims Iran has monitored extensive US military movements including warship relocations, air bridges for equipment transfer, and drills for island seizure in Bahrain. Iran is considering two scenarios: US deployment as psychological pressure for negotiations, or preparations for a surprise military attack on Iranian islands. Iran reportedly sees war as more likely than continued talks and has prepared to create "hours of hell" for the enemy.
