Retaliation against a potential attack will be proportionate and based on domestic and international norms, the source explained. For instance, should Israel target Iran’s oil infrastructure, Tehran will in response strike three main oil refineries in that country. Attacks on other infrastructure, such as power plants or nuclear facilities will likewise prompt retaliatory strikes on respective installations in Israel, the source added. In the event that any civilians are harmed in a potential attack or that civilian areas are targeted, Tehran will be prompted to revise its nuclear doctrine, the individual told RT, without elaborating.
