Imminent Days and Iranian Scenarios of Asymmetric Escalation

The US military is expected to complete its preparations for a possible military move against Iran by Wednesday. Analysts note that this move could include a naval blockade or other military measures, without necessarily a direct attack. However, Iran has significant military weaknesses, such as a limited number of ballistic missile launchers and outdated air defense and air force. Despite these weaknesses, Iran may pursue a strategy of asymmetric warfare, targeting US bases in the Gulf, such as Al Udeid in Qatar. The discussion focuses on the possibility of such an escalation and the reactions it will provoke.
