Except your conclusion is meaningless.
The Iranian attack was a major embarrassment to Iran. Are they going to keep embarrassing themselves? Iran uses proxies for deniability. When they acted personally they look like the JV team.
It’s not easy to be Israel but Iran attacking personally made it possible for Israel to strike Iran directly. Both Nations appear reluctant to escalate at this time.
You are using the assumption that the “next time”, Israel will be shielded by a “coalition” of the US and other countries that had well over a week to prepare for the impending attack.
We might not have that luxury next time.
Yes, Israel also proved that we are willing to attack Iran directly too — but we’ve been operating a direct shadow war there for well over a decade and that wasn’t a real secret.
Iran has never before dared to attack us directly until now.
and if you are really following the news right now, then it seems like the Iranian president may have gotten Kobe Bryant’ed. The Mullahs will have no problem deflecting their sorrow by blaming and attacking Israel again
