According to Phillip Smyth, a Soref Fellow at The Washington Institute who studies Shia Islamist militarism, Iran may take its time before it retaliates and will choose targets to attack that will make it difficult for it to be identified as the aggressor. He said:

Hezbollah, a terrorist organisation supported by Iran, has reportedly recruited and trained Nigerians for years.

Further, a June 2019 report by the British newspaper The Telegraph claims that Iranians were setting up terror cells in Africa under Soleimani’s direction and these cells may be active in Sudan, Chad, Ghana, Niger, The Gambia and the Central African Republic.
