Two senior US officials have told Politico that Iran has decided against conducting a direct attack on Israel in retaliation for the killing of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh last week in Tehran.
According to the Wednesday report, Tehran is now convinced that Haniyeh was killed when someone activated a remot-controlled bomb in the room where he was staying, and not in a direct military operation.
Washington stressed to Tehran that such an action, so long as no Iranian citizens were killed, does not justify a direct military operation against Israel.
The source also told Politico that Iran intends to respond to Haniyeh's elimination in some way appropriate for the actual act, but that a strong attack on Israel is not expected in the near future.
In addition, the source said that the US warned Iran of the dangers in a direct attack on Israel, hinting that the US would support an Israeli response...

Too bad they only use their d!cks on first cousins and goats.
This rethink is probably due to Saudis, UAE, Jordan and Iraq refusing to open their airspace to Iranian missiles, after the OIC meeting concluded yesterday.
The Abraham Accords have outlasted the stupidity of the Biden/Harris regime.
RPOTUS Trump should tweet this accomplishment all over the ether.
So saber rattling gets the world unsettled, crashes markets due to instability, but oh, we’re just kidding. Just kidding everyone! Love you!
Someone showed the Supreme Ayatollah a photo of his bedroom window, with a big red laser pointer in the middle. Or left a severed camel’s head in his bed. Whatever works.
Israel defense must be on high alert.
That stress is tough on a person
This guessing game will extract a toll on Israel
Don’t let your guard down Israel
1) Turkey ...
2) Hezbollah ...
3) Trusting the mullahs? No
I’m guessing the the Ayatollahs are scared shxt less and looking to eradicate some IRG personnel.
Bttt
My guess: They are afraid that war in the Middle East will help elect Trump. They are willing to hold their fire until January 20th.
Bingo
Once they discovered that Haniyeh was offed by IRGC ( prob recruited by Mossad) their main concern became not a big external war vs Israel, but internal security and regime control under their new president.
If true they might wait until the results of the election whenever in November. Waiting until Jan. 20 would make no difference to them once the results are known but who knows what the insane mullahs think.
Politically, the Leftist media won’t allow that Israel can do anything right other than take the casualties. What a political nightmare. In a no-politics world, Israel would wipe out Iran’s ability to strike. But there’s the US with its “I’m your nanny and you’ll do what I say” politics who will likely harm Irael before, during and after. Just to add the burning time clock issue, the Russians are allegedly supplying more advanced radars and interceptors. (I have doubts over whether this is more just window dressing because Russia needs everything it has right now.) On top of this, it’s entirely possible that Israel had nothing to do with killing the Hamas leader as many in Iran consider Hamas to be apostates. What a fluster cluck.
They do breed prolifically. UBL is dead, but he’s easily got ten sons or more.
They’ll hold off until Monday. s/
Right.
I assume Brandon will do a victory walk on TV today - assuming he can walk.
Now I am worried.
Yep.
