Former Acting DHS Secretary Chad Wolf: Most likely response from Iran is through cyberattacks

Geopolitical Risk Assessment - The most likely Iranian response to US actions is cyberattacks, as direct attacks on US soil risk escalating the conflict [2][5][11] - Iran has proxies like Hezbollah within the US, posing potential threats to US citizens [3][9] - China's role is complex; it likely prefers de-escalation to avoid oil price increases and supply disruptions, but may not actively solve the problem [12][13][14][15] - Regime change in Iran, while potentially favorable, is unlikely to be easy or without significant cost, based on historical precedents [16][17][18] Nuclear Program & US Response - There is uncertainty about the effectiveness of US strikes against Iran's nuclear program, particularly at Fordo, and whether highly enriched uranium stocks were affected [3][4][6] - A possible consequence of the strikes is Iran accelerating its pursuit of nuclear weapons [7][8] Homeland Security - DHS is taking precautionary measures, including heightened cybersecurity, in response to the situation [2] - The US intelligence community is tracking known members of Hezbollah and Hamas within the US [9] - Iran has the capability to inspire US-based individuals to commit violent acts, which are difficult to prevent [10]
