The US has picked up intelligence on what an Iranian retaliatory strike for the alleged Israeli strike on the Iranian consulate in Damascus in which a senior member of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards was eliminated, will look like, CBS News reported on Friday.

According to the report, the American intelligence indicates that Iran is planning a retaliatory attack that would include a swarm of Shaheed loitering drones and cruise missiles.

Officials quoted in the report say the timing and target are unknown, but a proportional response to the Damascus attack would be to hit an Israeli diplomatic facility.

The attack is likely to come between now and the end of Ramadan next week, according to CBS News.

Another important unknown is where the drones and missiles would be launched — from Iraq or Syria, which could prompt a thin claim of deniability by Tehran — or from Iranian territory.

“5Eyes Intelligence” takes orders from Iranian loyalists. They are in on it.

Drones from that distance would be spotted “1000 miles away”. Literally. They mag not be able to hit Israel at that distance without interception . Iran would not want to hit an Israeli embassy in any country eg outside Israel as this would be an attack on that country’s soil - an act of war. Terror maybe they could have some plausible deniability.

Israel has a few submarines. I would not be surprised if at least one was near Iran. Iran has some vulnerable targets susceptible to submarine launched missile attack, such as coastal oil facilities. They cannot afford for those to go out of commission - not financially or politically. They may wish to retaliate, but should probably consider being “proportionate”. Something they can save face on, without escalating to where it requires another response.

Israel only hit that embassy in Syria because Iran is supplying ISIS and Hezbullah through Syria, and Syria is still in an official state of war with Israel, and they had some high value targets meeting to coordinate likely with Hezbullah in Lebanon. Everyone is expecting a response but I would guess the diplomats are urging some restraint.
