12. Only if it's an inside job by people who want to keep *rump in place.

If Iran wants to hurt the US in general, they will go after infrastructure. Cyber attacks or targeted physical sabotage. Which reminds me, I'll need to purchase those two emergency 450W solar generators.
If they want to target Political infrastructure to force a "regime change", they'll target attacks in DC, and maybe some of the more obnoxious red state capitols.
But they'll generally leave the cities alone, except maybe NYC or SF and LA as they're symbols of Western decadence.

If they want to hit military targets, they're going to go after major bases or remote offensive weapons sites, both conus and oconus.

That's how the wargames have played it out. As it is, there are very few scenarios with this particular situation where there isn't a prolonged, damaging conflict where no one really wins.
Unfortunately, it doesn't look as if either the US or Israel were able to do the critical strikes that would have resulted in a potential win condition, especially since no one of our former coalition is going to sign up to help the cheap USA knock-off *rump has created.
And we're going to end up the baddies in this one.
