I really hope Iran doesn’t start lobbing missiles at Al Udeid, that would be a catastrophic escalation. I don’t think they will, despite some people’s attempt to depict the Iranian regime as crazy, they are definitely rational and acting in a way they think is in their best interest. I think they realize that attacking the US directly would not be beneficial to their agenda. Anyway, this is the world’s first good look at war conducted via ballistic missile, aside from the brief exchange last year.

That entirely depends on the US. Iran won’t strike first, but like they said, if they are attacked, they will have no choice but to respond.

I doubt any major power will intervene for Iran unless it looks like a regime change that actually benefits Israel / the USA happens. China and Russia have basically been minimal allies with Iran for the sake of funding an enemy of America, but they’ve always wanted Iran to remain weaker.
The small pro Iran groups, largely the groups Iran trained will act, but they have been already for the past 3 years.
