The Iranian government has said that it plans to initiate military retaliation for recent Israeli assassinations in Tehran and Beirut that have targeted high ranking officials of Hamas and Hezbollah respectively. The NYT story about the killing of Ismail Haniyeh being an inside job carried out by a planted bomb (something my sources have also told me is untrue) does not seem to have carried much weight, as were it true it would seriously dissuade any externally-directed response. I am not an alarmist and am often in the "Nothing Ever Happens" camp but I do believe that we are closer than we have ever been to a major regional war involving Israel, Lebanon, Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Iran, and the United States. After the events of the past week any idea of a ceasefire or deescalation seems farcical. Iran may try to calibrate their response to avoid a major escalation but that is a very fine line to walk. The root of all this escalation is the failure to find a Gaza ceasefire and I fear that worse could be ahead.

Seems like Iran is doing less public telegraphing than last time...

Exactly. That indicates to me they are going to try and inflict damage this time rather than engage in some form of messaging. Dangerous times.

but they still said on the official TV, live, that they’ll attack soon. Maybe this time they just won’t show a livestream of the drone movement 😂
