READ HERE:<\/a> <\/strong>Iran might strike Israel with up to 1,000 ballistic missiles if a planned Israeli retaliatory attack<\/a>\u00a0on the Islamic Republic results in high civilian casualties and widespread destruction, according to reports.<\/p>\n

Four officials, including two from the\u00a0Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps<\/a>\u00a0(IRGC), told\u00a0The New York Times<\/em>\u00a0that Israel can expect a massive retaliation by Tehran if its long-expected strikes on the country inflict heavy\u00a0damage to the country’s vital energy infrastructure<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This follows Iran’s retaliatory missile strikes on Israel on 1 October, which caused minimal damage to military sites and no civilian deaths, and followed the killing of Hassan Nasrallah and other Tehran-linked figures in the region, hiking tensions between the two countries.<\/p>\n

In addition to a barrage of a thousand missiles, Iran might also target Gulf shipping, escalate attacks from\u00a0Tehran’s regional proxy force<\/a>, and possibly target regional energy facilities, likely to cause oil prices to skyrocket.<\/p>\n
