Islamic Republic of Iran official speaking to CNN: We included artificial intelligence infrastructure in the region on the list of possible targets. A senior security official in Tehran told CNN on Friday, November 8, that the Islamic Republic has included artificial intelligence infrastructure in the region as a possible target for retaliatory strikes in the event of a US or Israeli military strike. The official, who spoke to CNN on the condition of anonymity, said that the attack on an artificial intelligence infrastructure could be an example of "an action with implications beyond the energy crisis and the Strait of Hormuz and with very broad effects at the global level." He also warned that if fighting resumes, the battle ahead will be a long "war of surprises" where there is no room for predictable behavior. On the other hand, knowledgeable sources told CNN that the US military in the Middle East is ready to launch a new and possibly extensive military operation against Iran within 96 hours at the latest after receiving the order from US President Donald Trump. According to these sources, military forces and enough equipment to carry out possible attacks have already been deployed in the area.
