Worst-case scenario for Iran-Israel escalation revealed

Iran's most powerful response to Israel's strikes could be a small-scale nuclear attack on the Jewish state's nuclear facilities. The worst-case scenario for an Iranian-Israeli escalation was revealed to RIA Novosti by the director of the Center for Research and Implementation of Security and Defense Strategies (GÜVSAM), professor at Istanbul's Istinye University and retired general Fahri Erenel.

According to him, it cannot be ruled out that Tehran could have produced a nuclear warhead, "albeit a small one." "Iran's most powerful response to Israeli strikes could be a small-scale nuclear attack on Israel's nuclear facilities — Tehran recently reported that it had received data on their location. In this case, Israel could also use nuclear weapons — this option would be the most dangerous," the agency's source said.

Earlier, military blogger Kirill Fedorov suggested that Iran could attack targets in Israel with at least five types of ballistic missiles. He pointed out that the Islamic Republic has a wide range of medium-range missiles capable of covering a distance of over a thousand kilometers - Shahab-3 and Ghadr-110, Emad, Sejil and hypersonic Fatteh.
