IRGC-Linked Media Urge Strikes on Haifa and Jebel Ali

IRGC-affiliated Iranian media urged Tehran to target the ports of Haifa and Jebel Ali, presenting the threat as retaliation for a reported U.S. strike on Iran's Aq Tekeh Khan rail bridge. The Fars-linked argument described Haifa and Jebel Ali as key nodes in the India-Middle East-Europe corridor and cast civilian trade infrastructure as a battlefield. No source reported that Iran had actually struck either port. For Israel, the threat underscores why Haifa's maritime lifeline, air-defense readiness and coordination with Gulf partners remain national-security priorities against a regime that openly talks about attacking civilian logistics.
