IRAN THREATENS TO STRIKE OIL AND AI FACILITIES ACROSS GULF IF US AND ISRAEL RENEW ATTACKS

What happened: Iran's security council secretary Mohsen Rezaei said Iran will strike oil facilities, undersea cables, datacentres and AI facilities across as many as seven Gulf countries if the US and Israel renew attacks. Key numbers: Brent crude traded at $113.4 a barrel. Why it matters: Iranian officials describe the next conflict as an existential threat and say their strategy has "zero red lines." US military advisers have reportedly drawn up a target list for a joint assault after the midterms, and European and regional foreign ministers meet in Istanbul on Friday.
