Iran’s top national security official on Sunday called Washington’s response to Tehran’s demands over the Strait of Hormuz “inadequate” and threatened to strike American-linked undersea communications cables, data centers, and artificial intelligence facilities across the region if war resumes. Maj. Gen. Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, the powerful body overseeing the Islamic Republic’s national security and defense policies, delivered the warning as Tehran sought concessions from President Donald Trump’s administration despite an ongoing U.S. naval blockade and mounting economic pressure. Speaking to Iranian state broadcaster Press TV, Rezaei put the value of American-linked technology infrastructure in the region at more than $2 trillion and warned that those assets could become targets in another war.
