AIMohsen Rezaei, Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, warned on Monday that Tehran would target cables and data centers in the region if intense fighting breaks out again.
Rezaei stated that the latest US response to Iran's proposal to end the war was insufficient, adding that Iran is no longer responding to the United States and that Washington needs to clarify certain issues.
He revealed that the United States had agreed to some of the seven conditions set by Iran, while other conditions remain unresolved.
Rezaei also threatened to target artificial intelligence facilities and other sites in the region if hostilities resume.
Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held security consultations on Iran following remarks by US President Donald Trump about the possibility of resuming military strikes.
Israel's Channel 13 reported that a decision to resume military operations has not yet been made, emphasizing that communication with the US military remains clear and precise.
The New York Times previously reported that Trump had asked the Pentagon to prepare plans for new military operations against Iran, including a major campaign lasting around three days.
