PANews reported on April 23 that, according to Iranian sources, amid diplomatic setbacks and a lack of trust in negotiations, Iran has developed a target list to counter potential military actions by the US and its allies, based on the principles of "reciprocal response" and "offensive deterrence." The list reportedly includes multiple response plans for different scenarios. For example, if Iranian power plants are attacked, missiles and drones will be used to strike power plants in Israel and other US allies in the region; if Iranian oil and gas facilities are attacked, retaliatory strikes will be launched against key oil and gas facilities in Israel and US allies, aiming to reduce global daily oil production by 25 million barrels within a year; and if Iranian military and political leaders are assassinated, information technology and artificial intelligence centers in the relevant countries will be targeted. If Iran's territorial sovereignty is violated (such as by occupying islands or ports), it will launch a large-scale joint attack with ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones against the aircraft carriers and attack helicopters of the relevant countries. If the naval blockade against Iran continues or escalates, it will block the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and, if necessary, completely block the Strait of Hormuz by laying large-scale mines, cutting off all oil export pipelines. If the US military launches a ground invasion against Iran using bases in the region, Iran will coordinate a ground war with resistance forces and local armed forces in the countries where the bases are located, and rely on local civilians to capture US soldiers. In addition, Iran may launch surprise attacks on US interests outside the region.
