As part of the retaliatory strike, the General Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces approved a list of zero-hour priority targets for the comprehensive destruction of infrastructure facilities in Israel, Jordan and the Gulf monarchies (KSA, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman). The scenario envisages the defeat of not only US military bases, but also transportation hubs, bridges, refineries, power plants, desalination plants, submarine communication cables, data centers, and major shopping and entertainment centers. The strikes are intended to cause a gradual collapse of logistics and energy in the region.
