if Trump decides to escalate the conflict.
This is reported by the Financial Times, which notes that the options under consideration include:
- Bulgaria: Sources report that Iranian forces have assessed the possibility of striking American military facilities in Southeast European countries, including Bulgaria.
- Cyprus: Cyprus was also considered as a potential target for Iranian retaliatory measures, especially given the presence of a British air base on the island, which was attacked by a drone in March.
- Underwater internet cables in the Strait of Hormuz: Iranian forces have also studied the possibility of striking underwater fiber-optic cables laid under the sea in the Strait of Hormuz in the event of a new escalation.
These options reflect Tehran’s readiness to expand the scale of retaliatory measures in the event of a new confrontation, so that strikes would not be limited only to American bases and facilities in the Middle East, but could also be directed against targets located outside the region.
