Iran has warned that energy facilities in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Israel could become targets if US President Donald Trump orders new strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure. The threat emerged after reports said Trump is seriously considering military action against Iranian energy sites.
According to the report, the warning was issued after a US official told Axios that a possible attack on Iranian energy targets is under active consideration. The same account said no final decision has been made, leaving uncertainty over whether the United States will move forward.
The development adds to already high tensions in the region, where energy infrastructure is seen as strategically important and highly vulnerable. By naming sites in Gulf states and Israel, Iran appeared to signal that any US action could trigger a wider response beyond a direct exchange with Washington.
The warning underscores how quickly the dispute could expand into a broader regional energy and security crisis. With no final US decision announced, attention is now focused on whether the rhetoric turns into action and how regional governments respond.
