Media reports: Iran possesses ‘at least ten’ strategies for an attack on Israel
Tehran has developed contingency plans and aims to respond decisively, as warned by the Revolutionary Guard.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' news agency reports that the Iranian military has prepared “at least ten” scenarios for a potential Israeli attack.

Recently, Iran launched a missile barrage against Israel, targeting several military bases, which Tehran described as retaliation for the recent killings of Hamas and Hezbollah leaders by Israel. In response, Israel has promised a “serious and significant” counterstrike.

According to Tasnim news agency, Iran has devised at least ten scenarios for reacting to any Israeli actions.

“Iran’s response will not necessarily be reciprocation at the same level of the Israelis’ action, but it may be harsher and aim for different targets that would intensify the effectiveness of the response,” stated a military source from the agency.

Because Israel is significantly smaller than Iran and has “less and more sensitive” infrastructure, Iranian retaliation could inflict “unprecedented troubles,” the source added.

Furthermore, any nation assisting Israel in a potential strike “will have crossed Iran’s red lines and will suffer damage,” the source emphasized.

This statement appears to be directed towards the U.S., which has been collaborating with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government regarding a potential strike on Iran. Last week, Tehran communicated through Qatar that it was no longer adhering to a policy of “unilateral self-restraint.”

On Sunday, Israeli TV channel Kan11 reported that Washington had proposed a “compensation package” to Israel for refraining from striking Iranian nuclear sites or oil facilities. Nevertheless, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant told CNN that “everything is on the table.”

Monday marked the anniversary of the October 7 raid by Hamas into southern Israel, which resulted in approximately 1,200 fatalities. Following the attack, Israel declared war on the Gaza-based Palestinian group, leading to extensive destruction and the deaths of at least 41,000 people, according to local authorities.

Hamas political bureau chief Ismail Haniyeh was killed in Tehran in August, although Israel did not officially claim credit for this operation. However, West Jerusalem did take responsibility for the airstrike that resulted in the death of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut last month during a campaign against the Lebanon-based Shia militia, which has claimed over 2,000 lives to date.
