Following Israel's Monday airstrike on Iran's diplomatic facility in Damascus, there has been widespread speculation and concern about how Iran might respond. Reports from various sources, including Axios and CBS, citing Israeli and US officials, indicate that Israel has intelligence suggesting Iran could retaliate by launching long-range ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, or Shahed drones from its territory. The strike, referred to by some sources as targeting Iran's embassy and by others as hitting a consulate, has led to expectations among US, Israeli, and other Western officials of a possible drone and missile attack on Israeli targets. These anticipated responses are thought to be calibrated to avoid provoking a larger conflict.
