Following today's attack by the United States and Israel on Mobarakeh Steel and Khuzestan, 6 steel factories in Israel and 5 countries in the region, Iran's new targets for a revenge attack have been announced.
This target bank has been prepared based on accurate field information and full identification of the industrial capacities of the United States allies
Informed sources in an interview with Tasnim, referring to the dimensions of this target bank, emphasized that Iran's response should not be limited to the region's steel industries in any way, and that a broader and more severe response should be put on the agenda.
The IRGC called on citizens of countries in the region to leave US military positions in these areas.
The details of the new Iran Goals Bank were announced in the table below.

Context
The recent military actions by the US and Israel against Iranian steel facilities have escalated tensions, with Iran announcing potential retaliatory targets that extend beyond immediate regional steel industries. This situation could impact global markets, particularly commodities such as oil and metals, as fears of further escalation may drive safe-haven flows into currencies like gold and the USD. Monitor for market reactions, especially in energy and steel sectors, as this geopolitical volatility could influence regional investments and supply chains.
