        "summary": "Iran's top operational command has issued a stern warning to the United States, Israel, and their allies against further attacks on its infrastructure, threatening to target regional energy facilities in retaliation, which could disrupt oil and gas supplies for years. This escalation follows recent US and Israeli strikes on Iranian petrochemical, transportation, and strategic sites, amid heightened tensions over the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. The conflict has broader implications, including a temporary ceasefire mediated by Pakistan, negotiations on sanctions and uranium enrichment, and the tragic death of an Indonesian UNIFIL peacekeeper in Lebanon, prompting potential reviews of Indonesia's involvement.",
        "content": "<p>Iran\u2019s highest operational command unit has issued a severe warning\nto the United States, Israel, and their allies against continuing\nattacks on the country\u2019s infrastructure. Tehran has even threatened to\ntarget energy facilities in the region as a form of\ncounter-pressure.<\/p>\n<p>The warning was delivered on Wednesday by the Khatam al-Anbiya\nCentral Headquarters, which coordinates military operations between the\nIranian Army and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).<\/p>\n<p>The headquarters\u2019 spokesperson, Lieutenant Colonel Ebrahim Zolfaqari,\nemphasised that Iran is prepared to take firm action if the attacks\npersist.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will target the infrastructure of the US and its allies in a way\nthat will deprive them of regional oil and gas for years and force them\nto withdraw from the area,\u201d he stated in remarks quoted by Press TV.<\/p>\n<p>This statement comes amid rising tensions following a series of\nattacks launched by the United States and Israel against several vital\nIranian facilities, including the petrochemical sector, transportation\nroutes, and other strategic infrastructure since late February.<\/p>\n<p>The situation has intensified after US President Donald Trump issued\nan ultimatum to Iran to immediately reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a\ncrucial shipping route previously closed by Tehran to entities deemed\nenemies.<\/p>\n<p>Iran has asserted that it will not yield to such pressure and will\nonly accept an end to the conflict if all forms of aggression against\nits territory are completely halted.<\/p>\n<p>In recent times, Iran\u2019s military has also increased the intensity of\nits counterattacks. The Iranian Armed Forces are reported to have\nlaunched the 99th wave of strikes targeting strategic US and Israeli\nassets in various regions.<\/p>\n<p>The latest attack reportedly involved the use of a multiple rocket\nlauncher system by the IRGC, used for the first time in this series of\nretaliatory operations.<\/p>\n<p>Zolfaqari emphasised that Iran\u2019s military operations will continue on\na larger scale.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe effective and devastating waves of operations by the Iranian\nArmed Forces against the military, security, and economic infrastructure\nof the Zionist regime in the occupied territories, as well as against\ncriminal US-related centres in the region, will continue with greater\nintensity and volume,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n<p>A temporary ceasefire between the United States and Iran, mediated by\nPakistan, has acted as a positive catalyst for global financial markets,\nincluding Indonesia.<\/p>\n<p>Iran has proposed 10 points to end the war and claims Trump has\nagreed to use them as the basis for negotiations, including issues\nrelated to the Strait of Hormuz, sanctions, and uranium enrichment.<\/p>\n<p>Pope Leo XIV has stated that US President Donald Trump\u2019s threats to\ndestroy Iranian civilisation are morally and internationally\nunacceptable.<\/p>\n<p>Former US Vice President Kamala Harris has criticised Donald Trump\u2019s\nwar policy, calling it reckless and endangering soldiers\u2019 lives without\na clear strategy.<\/p>\n<p>Iran and the US have agreed to a 15-day conflict pause and to begin\nnegotiations in Islamabad, Pakistan. Tehran has submitted a 10-point\nproposal including matters related to the Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n<p>The UN has confirmed the death of an Indonesian UNIFIL personnel on\n29 March due to gunfire from an Israeli Merkava tank, while a second\nincident was triggered by an IED.<\/p>\n<p>The Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) has announced Iran\u2019s\nvictory over the US. Washington is said to have accepted the 10-point\nconditions, including the lifting of sanctions and troop withdrawal.<\/p>\n<p>Israeli authorities have reportedly arrested four active soldiers\nsuspected of involvement in espionage activities for Iran, including\nphotographing sensitive locations.<\/p>\n<p>The attack on peacekeeping forces in Lebanon that killed a TNI\nsoldier is seen as a critical point for Indonesia to reassess its\ninvolvement.<\/p>",
