U.S. Interior Secretary Burgum: Trump's order to take action against ships laying mines is not an escalation

Odaily reported that U.S. Interior Secretary Burgum stated that President Trump's order to take action against vessels laying mines is not an escalation.

It is reported that Iran has formulated a target list for responding to potential military actions by the U.S. and its allies, based on the principles of "proportional response" and "offensive deterrence." The list includes various response plans tailored to different scenarios. For example, if Iranian power plants are attacked, they will retaliate by striking power plants in Israel and other U.S. allies in the region with missiles and drones. If Iranian oil and gas facilities are attacked, they will counterattack key oil and gas facilities in Israel and other U.S. allies, aiming to reduce global daily oil production by 25 million barrels within a year. If Iranian military or political figures are assassinated, they will target the information technology and artificial intelligence centers of the countries involved.

If Iran's territorial sovereignty is violated (e.g., occupation of islands or ports), they will launch large-scale joint attacks involving ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones against the aircraft carriers and attack helicopters of the countries involved. If the maritime blockade against Iran continues or escalates, they will block the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and, if necessary, completely seal the Strait of Hormuz through large-scale mine-laying, cutting off all oil export pipelines. If the U.S. uses regional bases to launch a ground invasion of Iran, Iran will coordinate ground warfare with the Resistance Front forces and local armed forces in the host countries, relying on local populations to capture U.S. soldiers. Additionally, Iran may conduct surprise operations against U.S. interests outside the region. (Golden Ten)
