From Russia Today:
....MOREIran reserves the right to avenge the US’ killing of Major General Qassem Soleimani, with dozens of potential targets already on the list, a senior commander within the elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) says.“Vital American targets in the region have been identified by Iran a long time ago,” General Gholamali Abuhamzeh, who leads the IRGC in Iran’s southern Kerman Province, said on Friday evening, as quoted by Tasnim News Agency.
35 US targets in the region as well as Tel Aviv are within our reach.The commander did not name any specific targets but mentioned that US warships have been operating in the Strait of Hormuz, an important shipping route, which connects the Persian Gulf with the Gulf of Oman and the Indian Ocean.
Abuhamzeh made the comments after Soleimani, the leader of the IRGC’s Quds Force – a special unit tasked with operations abroad – was killed in a US drone strike at a Baghdad airport. He died along with several high-ranking officials from the Iran-backed Iraqi Shia militias, the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF)....
Looking at the map:
It appears Iran has what the military types call "a target rich environment."
It also appears Iran is surrounded.
By 30 permanent bases
For what it's worth, the "35" figure is up from the number quoted five weeks ago, Nov. 29.

IRGC General Allahnoor Noorollahi: 21 American Bases in the Region Are Targets for Our Missiles; We Can Raze Tel Aviv and Haifa to the Ground
RGC General Allahnoor Noorollahi, a top advisor to the commander of the IRGC Officers College, said in a November 29, 2019 speech in Bushehr that 21 of the American bases in the region constitute targets for Iran’s missiles. Claiming that NATO said Iran can launch 20,000 missiles per day, General Noorollahi suggested that Iran has even greater capabilities, and he said that Iran has prepared itself for “the greatest war against the greatest enemy.” He emphasized that Iran’s enemy is the United States and cited a speech by Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in which Khamenei threatened to raze Haifa and Tel Aviv to the ground if Israel made any “mistake.” The speech, which aired on Bushehr TV (Iran), was delivered at an event commemorating 40 years since the establishment of the Basij.
Allahnoor Noorollahi: Iran is the world’s fourth [strongest] missile power after the U.S., Russia, and China. Unfortunately, some Gulf countries have become a military camp for our enemy. I must say this: 21 of their bases constitute targets for our missiles. NATO itself announced that Iran’s 110 missile bases and launching sites are capable of launching 20,000 missiles per day. This is what the enemy says. They only acknowledge part [of our capability]....MOREBoth Bloomberg and MIT's Technology Review are raising the possibility of cyber attacks while other sources say Iran and its proxies have cells of operatives in the U.S.
So far though just guesses, informed and otherwise.
