US-Israel Prepare Second Round of Strikes on Iran; Gulf Infrastructure at Risk

US and Israeli officials are preparing for a second round of military strikes against Iran, potentially targeting nuclear and oil facilities, with execution likely after the US midterm elections. Iran has threatened retaliation against US-linked data centers, AI facilities, energy installations, airports, and submarine cables in the Gulf, and has disrupted oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz. The timing and scope of any strike remain uncertain, influenced by US domestic politics and Iranian deterrence posture.
