US media reports that the US crackdown is focused on Iranian military institutions

February 28 News: According to The New York Times, a U.S. official revealed that the current U.S. military strikes against Iran are primarily targeting its military institutions and related facilities, rather than civilian infrastructure or political targets.

The official stated that the operation aims to weaken Iran’s military capabilities, especially in the context of ongoing regional tensions, with a focus on potential threat sources. Analysts note that this statement signals an attempt by the U.S. to control the escalation of military actions, but the situation remains uncertain.

Additionally, according to Al-Arabiya, a U.S. official said that Iran is expected to target U.S. military bases and embassies in the region.

If the operation continues or expands, it could have ripple effects on international oil prices, global stock markets, and safe-haven assets.
