Iran's threat to attack Haifa and Dubai may be more about reminding the US what it is capable of than a feasible plan of action
at US bases in Iraq in what it said was retaliation for the killing of Quds Force commander Qasem Soleimani.
While the Iranian side says that it does not want war and the strikes concluded its ‘proportionate response’, how the US responds remains to be seen. “Threatening to target these cities if attacked enables Iran to raise the stakes higher for close US allies in the region,” he said. Iran is also well placed to attack Israeli targets due to its control of proxies in both those states.
While Israel can certainly be hurt, the state has a massive capacity to hit back at Iranian positions in Syria, and likely even Iran itself. According to Krieg, Gulf states had used direct and non-direct means to ensure they do not “fall within the scope of further escalation” and that for Tehran attacking Gulf states, such as the UAE would be counterproductive for its already fragile economy.
