'Legitimate Targets': Iran Threatens To Strike Residences Of US, Israeli Officials As War Escalates
Iran has threatened to target the residences of US and Israeli military and political officials in retaliation for attacks on residential areas in Iranian cities. The warning comes as tensions continue to rise between Iran, the United States, and Israel, with the conflict entering its first month and spreading across the region.
Iran's joint military command spokesperson, Ebrahim Zolfaghari, announced that the residences of US and Israeli officials could be considered 'legitimate targets' due to attacks on civilian neighborhoods in Iranian cities. The threat is a response to US-Israeli attacks on residential areas. The conflict between Iran, the US, and Israel has escalated, with missile exchanges and attacks on various targets. Iran launched strikes on a water desalination plant in Kuwait after its own electrical facilities were attacked. The war has affected the global economy, causing fuel shortages and soaring oil prices. The US benchmark oil price rose past $100 a barrel, while UK-traded Brent increased sharply.
