ISRAEL: KAN-'Harsh' Response Expected, Poss. Targeting 'Strategic Sites' In Iran

ISRAEL

Amichai Stein at KAN posts on X: "After Israel security cabinet meet: Israel is expected to respond 'harsh' against Iran, with the possibility of targeting strategic sites in Iran". This would appear to back up earlier reports claiming that Israel will look to deliver a 'significant retaliation' against Iran following the missile barrages launched against Israeli cities on 1 October. 

  • Striking 'strategic sites' is likely to refer to hitting the country's oil installations and/or its nuclear facilities. It could even extend to targeted assassinations of key figures.
  • The extend of Israeli retaliation will be closely watched, not just with regards to the prospect of regional conflagration but also for potential global market flashpoints such as Iran closing off the Strait of Hormuz, a key transit point for oil supplies. The Houthi rebels in Yemen, one of Iran's regional proxies, could also look to escalate its attacks on shipping in the region.
