Yes. But not within the next few hours or 24 hours. Iran is still likly figuring out what exactly happened to them... 🙄

Still though, after all their statements from past week. Iran has lost all credibility not immediately retaliating and downplaying it.

They never had credibility to begin with.
 
You know it really doesn’t make a difference to me.
The Mullah’s or twelvers are like the Wahhabisist they need minimized and deprived of any access to power. Their no Better than the globalist who want to model a society in their own image.

Iran is smart you cannot deny that but they have played this same deadman’s hand with a useless card in the hole and never flipped it. They need to flip the card in the hole and get on with it unless it’s an ace or eight their toast. And I don’t think they have it. They have questionable number of warheads and they have proven they have no effective way of delivering one.
Poker is a much better way of modeling modern international relations.
Is it a bluff or do they have an ace or an eight.

What Israel and Iran are engaged in apart from actual warfare is Information Warefare (IW), so everything the warring parties release to the media is not reality.

Information warfare may involve the collection of tactical information, assurance(s) that one's information is valid, spreading of propaganda or disinformation to demoralize or manipulate[4] the enemy and the public, undermining the quality of the opposing force's information, and denial of information-collection opportunities to opposing forces. Information warfare is closely linked to psychological warfare.[5]

All that is very true. But it is also true Iran has lost face. Big time.

100% it is not over. But their propaganda has backfired on them making them lose face after Israel called their bluff by not attack back right away. Even if it was propaganda by Iran, still makes them look incredibly weak.

Not a good thing that Iran looks weak. I'm afraid when they realize that, they are going to show every bit of force they can. This is also why I believe they may test nuclear weapons(in fact, they may be trying to buy time to do just that). Which if the board is already on fire, that's picking it up and tossing it in some gas.

Remain vigilant. I believe Iran is going to respond in some way, but this time *without* warning.
 
Israel hasn’t admitted it was them. Just some REPORTS of US officials saying it was. They won’t respond to this I don’t think.
 
I'm leaning towards "nothig to see here, move along". Bibi's MIGA friends will complain about a weaksauce response, Iran will vigilantly look in some other direction, and it ends in a draw.

Theatrics aside, I stand by my points from before the whole kerfuffle began:
  • Iran does not currently want war with Israel,
  • Israel only wants war with Iran if it can drag the US into it, and Biden is not biting.
There are also other factors related to regional politics which work against expansion of this conflict.

I could be eating my words in several days' time, but that's what it looks like to me right now.
 
So far I'm starting to lean towards Iran may not be planning to retaliate with an attack at the moment.

However, I do plan to wait until tonight to let my guard drop a bit.

I still believe they will do 1 of 2 things if they continue on the current path of denial. 1. Attack unexpectedly 2. Test a nuclear weapon in the near future. The board is on fire.

I think they truly see Israel as the aggressor, and recognize their inferior millitary. Thus, I think they now believe they should become a nuclear state.

They could also attempt to become a nuclear state before further attacks.
 
I consider that, more than attacking the territory of Iran itself, the attack was a message for Hamas, Hezbollah and the other proxies, which is, if Iran cannot defend itself, the worse Iran will defend you.
 
I find it interesting that Iran won't even confirm there was an attack. Saying nothing happened, then something happened but it was repelled, then something happened but it was infiltrators.

Iran is really trying to downplay this. But to who? Their own people? Why?

Though like I said, Iran wants a coalition to go after Israel but they know no one is on their side.

It didn't help that Jordon and Saudi Arabia actually helped in the defense of Israel!!!! That must have been a terrible slap to Iran.

They've been denying it on Iranian TV apparently, so I think it's to their own people. They don't want people to think "we need to respond", I think this is a sign of Iran wanting to de-escalate the situation.
They know they're not ready for a full-blown war with Israel (and possibly America).

I may be wrong. I hope I'm not wrong though, I would love for Iran to take the off-ramp. Nobody wants all-out war in the Middle East.
 
I think typical thoughts would be that Iran would respond.

However, given how much they have downplayed it to their people, and how little Israel has come out about what was hit, I feel like they might be taking the off-ramp in this case. I really hope I'm right. Would be nice to have a bit of positive/normalization news.
