Iran threatens Israel with retaliation - but the options are limited. Experts say Iran may be forced to act this time, but warn that Tehran could fall into a trap.
Iran's most capable militia in the fight against Israel is the Lebanese Hezbollah. Iran could also mobilize other allied militias in the region, but their ability to harm Israel is limited due to their distance from the country. Since mid-November, the Yemeni Houthi rebels have been attacking merchant ships that cross the Red Sea along the shortest route between Asia and Europe.
