They must be trying to weaken the IRGC command that would direct Hizbollah if something escalates in S. Lebanon/N. Israel. Not sure if this is going to dissuade Hizbollah or Iran though. Kindle is too damn dry....

I doubt Iran is going to pull some direct assassination
Probably bomb an embassy?

Bombing planes, embassies etc. I think isn't something they have done in 2 decades or so. They have proxies for a reason and I would expect something from that angle. They know certain forces in the US and Israel are itching for an excuse for a direct attack.

Islamic State Claims Responsibility for Deadly Bombings in Iran
The group, which has struck before in Iran, has a long history of division with the country.
The Islamic State, whose affiliate in Afghanistan, ISIS-Khorasan, has repeatedly threatened Iran over what it says is its polytheism and apostasy, has claimed responsibility for several previous attacks on Iran.
The most recent came in October 2022, when a gunman killed 13 people at a shrine in the city of Shiraz. An Islamic State statement claiming responsibility for that attack said it had aimed to kill Shiites — framing the shootings as the continuation of an ancient clash between Sunnis and Shiites, whose religious schism goes back to a seventh-century dispute over the rightful heir to the Prophet Muhammad.
Thursday’s statement used the same derogatory term for Shiites, roughly translated as “rejectionists” or “refusal infidels,” as in the 2022 statement.

Some sunnis see Shia's as polythiest because of their 'reverence' for Ali (Yaa Ali chants, 12 imams etc ..look it up). Only thing that brings them together is Palestine.
I'm not shocked ISIS did this...

The Houthi air force has a single fighter jet — an ancient F-5. The US is very much not afraid of it.
The Houthi rebels apparently have just one F5 jet, and the US says it's nothing to be afraid of.
