Highlights
- Iran and its proxies have a long history of plotting attacks against the United States, Saudi Arabia, Israel and Iranian dissidents around the world.
- Despite the long list of attempts in the post-9/11 era, only one attack has resulted in fatalities.
- Iran will continue to plan attacks, and it or its proxies may occasionally succeed — especially against soft targets.
