"Iran has ordered the armed forces to be prepared for war but also to try to avoid it, having witnessed the decimation of its allies in Lebanon and Gaza."
"The supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has ordered the military to devise multiple military plans for responding to an Israeli attack, depending largely on the severity of Israel's actions."
"Iran will retaliate if Israeli strikes inflict widespread damage and high casualties, but may refrain if attacks are limited to military bases or warehouses."
"Responses under consideration include a barrage of up to 1,000 ballistic missiles; escalated attacks by Iranian proxy militant groups, and disrupting global energy supplies through the Strait of Hormuz."
