If the United States crosses Iran’s red lines, the response will extend beyond the region,” the IRGC said, warning neighboring countries that all U.S. infrastructure and that of its allies could be targeted, along with long-term disruption to regional oil and gas supplies.
Revolutionary Guards threaten strikes on US and allies if red lines crossed; Trump warns of massive attack within hours; US hit Kharg Island, Israel targets rail and military sites; oil prices surge.
The head of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Corps warned Tuesday that “restraint is over” and threatened escalation beyond the region, hours before a deadline set by U.S. President Donald Trump.
Two Israeli officials told CNN that Israel has approved an updated list of potential targets, including energy and infrastructure sites, in preparation for a scenario in which talks fail and Trump authorizes further strikes. In exchange, Iran would reopen the Strait of Hormuz and impose transit fees on ships passing through, using the revenue to rebuild infrastructure damaged in recent strikes.
One official said Israel is awaiting Washington’s decision, while another expressed skepticism about the chances of a diplomatic deal, stressing that any agreement must include the transfer of Iran’s enriched uranium and a complete halt to enrichment.
