On Friday, October 23, the Wall Street Journal reported that Tehran officials have warned through intermediaries that if the U.S. attacks again, assaults on countries in the Persian Gulf will escalate and will also target economic infrastructure and civilian objectives.

According to the newspaper, these threats include attacks on airports, oil pipelines, and other civilian infrastructure in the region. Iranian officials have also stated that if U.S. attacks resume, they will target American forces more aggressively and may even attempt to sink U.S. warships in the area.

The Wall Street Journal writes that despite suffering significant damage to a large part of its missile and drone arsenal in previous U.S. and Israeli attacks, the Islamic Republic still has the capability to carry out retaliatory strikes. Analysts assess that Tehran may use asymmetric attacks to inflict damage on the region's energy and communication infrastructure.
