US Democratic Senator Chris Murphy said he received classified information about the Trump administration's plan to renew the war with Iran, calling it "insane" and "undermining America's commitment to the rule of law". Although Murphy did not provide details of the plan, "for fear of criminal prosecution for divulging sensitive information," the senator said the Pentagon had been directed by the White House to compile a list of mostly civilian targets expected to be targeted by the U.S. Air Force, which Murphy said would lead to "destroying our [American] commitment to the rule of law," although he "didn't call it a crime." Murphy also said the White House was planning a series of "short and limited" strikes, to which he believed Iran would respond with an unprecedented escalation that would prolong the war. In summary, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) issued a series of threats through various Iranian media, saying that in response to renewed US airstrikes, it would target submarine internet cables, artificial intelligence infrastructure and data centers, and even US diplomats and politicians in response to official Iranian and Israeli diplomatic attacks on previous US and Israeli government attacks.
