IRAN'S QUD FORCE.. WHAT THREAT DO WE REALLY FACE?

I have advocated for several years now the West needs to be prepared for Iranian actions world wide if it's nuclear program is attacked.

Some have theorized their reaction would be limited to the region and to  those sites associated with their attackers.

Most have theorized the Iranians would not take a world wide, asymmetric approach because of the logistical requirements.

I completely disagreed then and I disagree even more so now.

For months I have addressed the nearly desperate situation Iran is in with the Arab Spring and the pending fall of Al Assad in Syria.

Limiting their response to an open attack is simply not realistic to me.

Waiting to be attacked is becoming even more unrealistic.

The travels of Iranian operatives is a well known issue and recent agreements with nations such as Venezuela to allow flights from Iran makes the possibility of QUD or Hezbollah forces at the US's backdoor more than likely.

The world is full of key strategic targets, infrastructure not just in the US but all over the world.

Insuring that all of these sites are secure from a highly trained and dedicated force such as the QUD is nearly impossible.

Asymmetric warfare is a concept that exist outside the US and Iran is more than capable of executing Asymmetric actions.

In short, the idea the QUD and " others" are prepared to disrupt Iran's enemies world wide can not be overlooked.

If a war with Iran is coming, key leaders in the military as well as civilian law enforcement need to be thinking " outside the box".

Side Bar:

I've been reading and thinking about another scenario for a conflict with Iran and I will post my thoughts on Friday.
