Cyber attacks, missiles or further nuclear breaches: Iran will be considering its next actions after the US drone strike.
But the targeting of the head of Iran's shadowy Quds Force would most likely have been at the more severe end of a list of possible responses available to him.
It is unlikely any response will be contained to within Iraq. Nor will it be a single measure. More likely we will see a sustained, increased campaign of hostility from the regime.
The US will be ready for - and expecting - a rise in attacks on its bases in Iraq by pro-Iranian militias. There could be another attempt at storming the embassy in Baghdad.Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi said the US killing on General Soleimani would"light the fuse of war". He condemned it as a"massive breach of sovereignty".
