A senior Iranian security official told Tasnim News Agency on Friday that Western media reports regarding prospective strikes on Iranian infrastructure represented "a kind of madness".

According to Tasnim, the official stated that Tehran has formulated comprehensive retaliatory strategies encompassing strikes on critical installations in Israel and US energy assets across the Middle East, asserting that Iran maintains complete readiness to execute these measures if provoked.

The Iranian official added that the nation's armed forces had evidenced their capability and resolve to carry out such operations during the 40-day war and subsequent engagements.

The warning follows heightened speculation surrounding potential military escalation after reports indicated that US President Donald Trump had ordered preparations for renewed strikes on Iranian targets.

The Wall Street Journal reported on Friday, citing US officials, that President Trump had directed fresh strikes that could commence as early as this weekend, while issuing a warning to Tehran that it would face substantial military measures unless it re-entered negotiations.

Addressing a Cabinet meeting at Camp David on Friday, President Trump signalled impending operations, stating that the United States would be "hitting them very hard" and expressing confidence that Iran would ultimately reach a threshold where it "just can't take it anymore".

The escalation in rhetoric highlights intensifying friction between Washington and Tehran, raising concerns that subsequent military action could trigger a wider regional conflict, impacting vital energy assets and strategic infrastructure across the region.
