Finally israel made some move against Iran. It seems the damage is not as they intended to be.
Regardless of this attack it is better for Iran to control themselves and keep out of making Iran direct part of this war. As there are means to attack israel very effectively without escalating and entering to into direct war. Soldiers, private security forces as well as volunteers can join resistance groups like Hezbollah, Iraqi resistance even transfer to Yemen unofficially so they can be supported by manpower. Resistance forces can do swarm drone based strikes as well as Yemen can make ballistic missile strikes to key targets. So without escalating into direct war Iran can very effectively strike israel through proxies.
Another bonus option is modifying Shaheed 238 that has low observable characteristics. Change the painting and make minor changes on airframe. Call it HudHud-2. Iraqi resistance can claim they build it like their currently used drones
Now this drone slightly modified and renamed as hudhud-2 can be fired massively from sea by Iranian submarine from above water(submerged drone launch is more difficult and not necessary but if it is made similar to submerged launch of cruise missiles it will be much more stealthy) or by an Iranian ship(riskier and attack source can be detected) from an open close hatch similar to land based truck launch. Initially the drone should skim above water just 5-10m to not to be detected from which source it is fired from by Usa radars. After above Iraqi airspace it can reach to 5-6km altitude and fly towards israeli targets.Flying at high altitude and low observable characteristics would make it difficult for israeli air defence to target these drones. Iraqi resistance ofcourse need to claim they did the strike but actually Iranian submarine can launch 40-50 or more drones at each salvo.
You can do it over and over and over again without being caught and use proxies to claim it is their doing.
This move is an addition to individiual and possible coordinated attacks that resistance groups can accomplish by their own(+ indirect support from Iran) means that we discuss in this topic.
It is better for Iran to act as the R&D center functionality and weapons producer instead of risking everything to enter into direct war with anyone and suppport proxies by all means possible(even manpower is possible unofficially by ex-soldiers, ex private security firms employees, volunteers) that do the actual fighting.
