Iran targets Gulf energy infrastructure

Iran targets Gulf energy infrastructure

The strike on Kuwait's Mina al-Ahmadi refinery set multiple units ablaze, highlighting the vulnerability of regional energy assets to Iranian aerial capabilities.

In addition to Kuwait, reports indicate that data centers in the UAE and Bahrain have been targeted, though some local governments have denied these claims.

Iran has also threatened to destroy high-value tech assets, including a massive AI data center project backed by Western firms.

These retaliatory measures follow the destruction of Iran's tallest bridge by US-Israeli forces, signaling a shift toward a 'tit-for-tat' strategy targeting civilian and economic hubs.
