🇮🇷Tehran warns next confrontation will be 'war of surprises' targeting US-Israeli regional AI infrastructure An Iranian official reports that Tehran's updated target database moves beyond traditional military installations to encompass tangible and intangible assets linked to Washington and Tel Aviv across the region, explicitly designating regional artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure as legitimate targets for Iranian defensive strikes, according to Tasnim News Agency. Iranian security officials emphasized that AI systems and data hubs operating in the region serve as operational tools and backbone support for US and Israeli military aggression. The unnamed official warned that targeting these technical facilities will trigger systemic consequences reaching far beyond the Strait of Hormuz and standard energy crisis disruptions, inflicting widespread structural fallout on global technology networks and economic stability. According to the report, future military confrontation will be a prolonged "war of surprises," and that Tehran will not permit Washington to execute a brief, high-intensity aerial strike campaign. Iranian defense planners have confirmed that military command will prioritize operational unpredictability and strategic surprise at both the outset and throughout any renewed conflict, ensuring that US and Israeli forces face an unscripted, multi-domain war of attrition.
