Colin P. Clarke: “Ever since the United States and Israel began their war against Iran last weekend, Tehran has fought back with rocket and drone strikes across the Middle East—in Bahrain, Israel, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. Iran’s capacity to fight back appears to be diminishing; the number of projectiles it is launching is declining by the day. Still, as the war drags on, the risk of retaliation *outside* the region will increase—and that risk is already very real.
“Even before images of death and destruction in Iran began flooding the internet, Western security officials had expressed concern that Iran or its proxies—Hezbollah in Lebanon, Iraqi Shia militia groups, the Houthis in Yemen—could launch attacks in the United States, Europe, or elsewhere. When Time magazine this week asked President Trump about the threat to the U.S. homeland, he said, ‘I guess’ Americans should be worried. ‘We plan for it. But yeah, you know, we expect some things. Like I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die.’
“Besides seeking revenge, Iran’s goal for engineering high-profile attacks in the West would be to turn populations against their governments so that they push policy makers to bring the conflict to an end. Terrorist attacks in Western cities could become a pressure point, making the U.S. and its allies directly feel the pain of this war. At this stage, Iran has very little to lose, and might be willing to take more extreme actions than it has in the past. The U.S. and its allies must remain vigilant and prepare for the possibility of violence on their shores.”

It had more than 90% of its missile and drone capacity destroyed in less than a week. All of the major military command and control was destroyed. The Supreme Leader died within hours. The entire Iranian response has killed an astounding… 6 Americans, and their ability to resist is depleting by the minute.
I’m sorry what does Iran have left to lose?
I think they definitely create a humanitarian crisis in the gulf states by disrupting shipping and destroying access to water.
Probably, „all of the above“
Historically it’s at least twice as likely that Israel attacks a western city with a false flag attack. They already attacked the UK airbase in Cyprus (UK says it wasn’t Iran) and the Saudi Aramco facility in SA. Both Saudi Arabia and Qatar have arrested Mossad agents planning bombings in the last week. North Korea arrested and executed 2 Mossad agents last week. Dozens of cases of Mossad false flag attacks over the years. Zero cases of Iran attacking a western city, ever.
