The Multi-State Information Sharing & Analysis Center (MS-ISAC) assesses that Iran is highly likely to retaliate against the United States and its interests following the airstrikes on Jan. 3 that killed a prominent Iranian military official. This assessment is based on historical Iranian retaliatory efforts. Iran specializes in asymmetric warfare, and its response will highly likely be physical or cyber in nature, targeting U.S. interests globally. If tensions continue to escalate, this response will likely include cyberattacks against U.S. critical infrastructure.
