Iran's proxy network: Hezbollah (150,000 rockets), Houthis (Red Sea attacks), PMF (Iraq bases). Potential targets: Israel (high), Saudi Arabia (high), UAE (medium), US military bases (high), European soft targets (low). Cyber attack capability against critical infrastructure. Sleeper cell concerns.
Highest risk: Israel (via Hezbollah rockets), Saudi Arabia (direct missile strikes), and US military bases in Qatar and UAE. Medium risk: Bahrain, Kuwait, shipping in the Red Sea.
Iran lacks intercontinental ballistic missile capability. The primary threat to the US homeland is cyber attacks on critical infrastructure, not conventional military strikes.
