Iran's Top Security Official Threatens U.S.-Linked Tech Infrastructure Over Strait of Hormuz Dispute

Iran's Supreme National Security Council secretary Maj. Gen. Mohsen Rezaei on Sunday described the U.S. response to Tehran's Strait of Hormuz demands as insufficient and threatened to target American-linked undersea cables, data centers, and artificial intelligence facilities in the region if hostilities resume. Rezaei valued the targeted infrastructure at more than $2 trillion. The statement was made amid ongoing U.S. naval presence in the region and continued nuclear and security negotiations between Tehran and Washington.

Iran's top national security official said Sunday that the response from Washington fell short of Tehran's demands over the Strait of Hormuz, and put the United States on notice that undersea cables, data centres, and artificial intelligence infrastructure with American ties throughout the region could be targeted if hostilities were to resume. At a moment when Iran's negotiating team was seeking concessions from the Trump administration — with American naval vessels operating in the region and prolonged economic pressure bearing down on the country — Mohsen Rezaei, serving as secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, the body that oversees Iran's defense and national security affairs, put forward the advisory.
