further such strikes on israel. but the israelis may be interested in also sending a signal that they were interested in de escalation. they were not looking to expand or escalate the conflict. similar to the way iran itself probably sent some signals before and after the april 13 attack on israel that he too was interested in de escalation. explicitly, actually, from iran. so the hope is that if this was in fact a limited retaliation against iran by israel, potentially with some retaliation against interests elsewhere, for example iraq and syria, it would leave room for iran to essentially say nothing significant has happened and therefore not to retaliate any further against israel and i would say so far and it s early going the indications are that s the case. are releasing these tranquil pictures of isfahan, suggesting this was an insignificant event, maybe only quad copter involved which may not be true.
of the islamic republic is staffed not just with ideologues, but many, many octogenarians like the supreme leader himself. but all of that aside, the messaging is likely to be in these friday prayer sermons, the same defiant tone that you had, the same harping on the themes of the israel-gaza war, the same kind of chest thumping post april 13, april 14, military operation. and given that the iranian media, in the lead up to the friday prayer time, has been trying to spin things as all is normal, all is well, you re likely going to see the islamic public try to, at least in the short term, rhetorically, pocket and move on. but in terms of attacks, well, who knows? the irgc may be advocating for behind closed doors because lest we forget, there were also reports that when there was this strike in esfahan that there were explosions in iraq and there were explosions in syria, and that irgc change in doctrine was all about responding threats both inside and outside iranian territory with
the timing, is there anything to read in there? a few days later? we know there are some meetings of the israeli war cabinet to try to calibrate a response. is this about the time we would have expected something to come from israel? i think it is. i something to come from israel? ithink it is. ithink something to come from israel? i think it is. i think the delay in the israeli response sort of shows you that they were not in a state of war. israel didn t feel as though it had to respond straightaway and clearly didn t feel as though further iranian attacks were coming. potentially, this delay is itself a bit of a de escalatory signal. israel is making clear it feels it needs to respond to what iran did on april 13, to respond to what iran did on april13, big barrage of missiles and drones and cruise missiles and drones and cruise missiles but it doesn t necessarily feel urgent about it and so, maybe you could take that from the timing and, again, it would be one of several de escalat
another regional war and in fact i think very few americans would like to see the us dragged into a regional war and in fact, you can see a weakening of us support even for israel in the gaza conflict. there s been more calls for a ceasefire. more pressure to get the hostage deal done quickly. it may be, frankly, good for president biden, ultimately, that the us was quite helpful to israel in defending against the april 13 barrage of iranian missiles against israel but you heard what the white house said take the win. i think they saw it as a win for israel and the us and would have liked to have left it at that. we us and would have liked to have left it at that. left it at that. we have not et left it at that. we have not yet heard left it at that. we have not yet heard from left it at that. we have not yet heard from either- left it at that. we have not| yet heard from either side, really, directly. israel has not been commenting, we have reached out for comments to the penta
