The recent U.S. airstrike on Iranian nuclear facilities represents a significant escalation in the longstanding conflict between the U.S. and Iran, pushing the situation into a more precarious phase. Following the strike, security officials anticipate a strong retaliatory response from Iran that may surpass their actions after the assassination of Quds Force leader Qasem Soleimani. Past attempts at revenge have already included assassination plots against key U.S. officials. Analysts warn that Iran's capabilities for asymmetric retaliation, especially through terror plots abroad, remain robust and might be activated in response to this latest aggression.
It is unthinkable that Iran will not at some point attempt to carry out retaliatory, asymmetric strikes, which may eclipse its previous attempts at revenge.
Their standoff capabilities and nascent nuclear program have been badly hit; however, their ability to conduct terror plots abroad remains intact and can be easily resurrected.
