Tehran is reconsidering its approach to retaliation against Israel following Ismail Haniyeh's assassination, Professor Uzi Rabi, head of the Moshe Dayan Center for Middle Eastern and African Studies at Tel Aviv University, explained to Nissim Mashal and Liat Ron in an interview on 103FM on Thursday morning.

"There is ongoing deliberation in Tehran. If we go back to the day after Haniyeh was eliminated, they spoke of revenge at the highest level. However, as days pass, it seems that Iran is having second thoughts, mainly due to the American buildup in the Middle East," Rabi said.

"Currently, Iran even sees a chance in the Doha negotiations to gain more by seemingly delaying or suspending their response. The Iranians are essentially on a path of lowering expectations. A total war, which could ultimately be chaotic, could create severe problems for them with a faltering economy and potentially collapse it, as well as threats to the regime itself," Rabi added

More likely, they are just delaying because they believe they are close to having a functional nuclear bomb. Israel was planning to further destroy Iran’s nuke program in its coming response to Iranian attacks.

Agreed, they would give Israel a reason to destroy their program.

I still think they’ll make some sort of attack, which will be ineffective, but they’ll puff up their chests and tell their people how they really bloodied the nose of Israel this time.

Perhaps the carriers and F-22s might play a little role?

Iran is running a distraction campaign. The real war is the muslim takeover of Europe.

European patriots have a big battle ahead of them if they want to stay free of muslim rule and sharia law.

Good luck!
