Iran has a track record of threatening Israel and another track record of using its proxies to threaten and attack Israel. What follows is a list of different attacks Iran could carry out based on how Iran has behaved.
A ballistic missile strike from Iran
Iran has a large arsenal of ballistic missiles of varying types and ranges. Some are solid-fueled, and some are liquid-fueled, which means some can be rushed out to be fired relatively quickly, while others take time to prepare and position. Iran has used ballistic missiles frequently in the past.
Iran used ballistic missiles to target the Al-Asad base in Iraq on January 8, 2020, in retaliation for the US killing IRGC Quds Force head Qasem Soleimani. Iran launched up to 22 missiles, targeting both the Asad base - where US troops are based in western Iraq - and also targeting the Kurdistan autonomous region, which hosts US forces. The missiles were launched from several locations in Iran, and 11 of them struck Asad's base. Iran informed the Iraqis just before they launched the rockets.
The missiles were launched beginning at 1:20 am, and the attack continued for several hours. It is believed Iran used the Fateh 313 and Qiam ballistic missiles in the attack. They contained warheads of more than 450kg. READ MORE
