Tehran has already stated, that Israel will be punished for the murder of the head of the Hamas political bureau, Ismail Haniyeh, and now everyone is waiting, What exactly will Iran's response be?.
As noted by the American edition of The Wall Street Journal, not expect, that Tehran’s retaliatory actions will be much more unexpected and powerful, what it was like in April, and can take Israel by surprise.
Recall, that in April of this year, in response to an Israeli attack on the Iranian consulate in Damascus, Iran attacked Israel, using more 300 drones and missiles. Then it was, by and large, symbolic attack, as Tehran warned the US and Israel about the strike, giving them the opportunity to prepare.
This time to expect such a turn of events, obviously, not worth it, newspaper writes, and Israel and its allies will have to act “in a vacuum”. However, in Washington they think, that Tehran has not yet decided on the nature of its response to Israel. It is noted, that the attempts of American and Arab diplomats to prevent escalation in the Middle East, face Iran's 'angry silence'.
After Israel got bogged down in the war in the Gaza Strip, Netanyahu's government has provoked Iran more than once, obviously, according to some experts, wanting to involve him in a big war actually against the USA, thereby trying to save his situation.
