Iran Warns Regional Data Centres and Cables Could Be Targets
A senior Iranian official says Tehran finds the latest U.S. response to a proposal to end the war insufficient, and warns of attacks on regional data centres and cables if fighting intensifies again, PBS NewsHour reports. The named targets are infrastructure, not only military positions — leverage aimed at the systems a region runs on rather than at a frontline. The same report puts Israel's former attorney general on the witness stand in the corruption cases against Benjamin Netanyahu, the country's longest-serving prime minister.
