Time passes for Tel Aviv as it holds its breath, anticipating Iranian’s response to the bombing of its consulate in Damascus. Lately, American envoys arrived in Israel to discuss the situation, in light of the certainty that an Iranian response will inevitably come, according to Russia Today.
It may be easy for those trying to predict the nature of the Iranian response in relation to Tehran’s retaliation after the assassination of Qassem Soleimani by directly bombing American bases in Iraq. It may help those who try to predict what Israel will do if Iran strikes it, probably going back to what America did when Iran struck it in Iraq. It did nothing and swallowed the response.
Is this what the American military official came to say to the Israelis? Benjamin Netanyahu can threaten, but he knows best that he is unable to act against Iran without the help of the United States, which has been saying for half a year that it does not want war broke out. But in any case, what is certain now is that Iran’s hand is on the trigger, waiting for the moment when the order to respond to be executed- a move that seems to be close.
