In this issue, Iran shouted to the West: it should be thanked for restraint, Israel thanked the United States, and Wang Yi had a telephone conversation with the Iranian Foreign Minister, believing that Iran can grasp the situation.
The embassy was bombed for nearly half a month, and Iran finally retaliated against Israel on the 14th, launching a total of more than 300 missiles and drones to bomb Israel's homeland, which was better than the largest Russian attack on Ukraine, which can be described as full of anger.
After striking at Israel, Iran immediately publicly stated that its retaliatory actions against Israel "can be regarded as the end," which means that as long as Israel does not retaliate, then this matter will end here, and Iran will not pursue it any further, which is equivalent to giving Israel a step down, which shows that Iran still does not want to directly conflict with Israel.
Iran's direct attack on Israel itself is indeed an "unprecedented" response, which has brought the conflict between Israel and Iran directly to the table, and this Iran's counterattack is actually a reaction after tolerating to the extreme.
The spokesman of the Iranian Foreign Ministry said a meaningful sentence at a press conference on April 15, saying that Western countries should be grateful to Iran for its restraint in recent months, which actually has some truth, in recent months, Israel has frequently taken actions against Iran, and Iran has indeed shown great restraint.
The picture shows a series of bombings in Iran
Late last year, Israeli military missiles assassinated Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) senior military adviser to Syria, General Mousavi, and Iran then attacked Israel's Mossad intelligence agency in Iraq. On January 3 of this year, Iran accused Israel of a series of bombings in Iran, killing and injuring more than 300 people, but then only targeting extremist groups.
On January 20, Israel bombed Damascus, Syria, and beheaded four more senior Iranian military advisers. On February 14, a massive explosion on a major gas pipeline in Iran affected the supply of natural gas to at least five provinces in Iran, with both Western officials and Iran claiming that Israel orchestrated it.
Each of these incidents, taken out individually, was enough to lead to a full-scale confrontation between Israel and Iran, but Iran, in order not to get involved in the conflict, held back all of them, maintained considerable restraint, and made a largely symbolic response. However, this time, it was the embassy that was bombed and two brigadier generals were killed, and it would be difficult to calm the domestic public anger if it was restrained, so Iran chose to fight back forcefully and carefully planned a retaliatory action.
Although Iran's response this time was huge, according to Israeli sources, the damage caused was not great, and only military facilities were attacked, so it can still be seen that Iran has exercised some restraint and adopted a way to avoid escalation of the situation to the greatest extent. Later, he said that the retaliation could be regarded as the end and gave the ball directly to the Israeli side.

Immediately after Israel was attacked by Iran, it organized a meeting of its wartime cabinet, and then cabinet member Gantz issued a statement saying that he would strike back at Iran, but the counterattack was canceled after Netanyahu and Biden spoke on the phone. No matter how crazy Israel is, even if it dares to bomb the Iranian embassy, it will depend on the face of the United States in the face of such a situation that is enough to plunge the Middle East into total chaos.
According to the White House, Biden recently held talks with the leaders of seven countries, and they all unanimously said that they do not want Israel to counterattack Iran. The G7, which openly supports Israel, has chosen to settle the matter, which is unexpected, but reasonable.

Iran's retaliation showed restraint, giving not only itself a step, but also the United States, the West and Israel. After being warned by the United States and the West, Israel did not immediately retaliate, which can be regarded as a tacit understanding, which is shared by Israel, the United States and Iran.
But this doesn't necessarily mean the end of the story. After the bombing of Israel, the Israeli representative thanked the United States and its allies for their support at the United Nations General Assembly, and at the same time took out a tablet to show a video of the interception of Iranian missiles, in an obvious attempt to bind the United States firmly to Israel.
The fundamental reason why Israel has repeatedly provoked Iran and even directly attacked the embassy is that it wants to drag Iran in, and then force the United States to go down and completely solve the Palestinian-Israeli and Iranian-Israeli issues.

Israel's goals were not reached, Iran did not end, and the United States did not intervene. Iran, on the other hand, stands on the moral high ground and puts all the pressure on Netanyahu, and the whole world will blame Israel for the next escalation.
The reason why Israel can gain a foothold in the Middle East is that in addition to the support of the United States and the West, tough means are also the foundation of its invincibility in many Middle East wars, but now the Israeli army has been fighting in Gaza for half a month and has not reached its goal, and Middle Eastern countries have begun to doubt Israel's strength, and the title of "Little Overlord of the Middle East" is in jeopardy. If Iran is not responded, then anyone may come and step on it in the future. However, neither the United States nor the West wants the situation to escalate and constantly exert pressure on Israel, and there is still a question mark over whether Israel will fight back.

So there is no doubt that now the Middle East is moving towards a critical period, one step forward, war breaks out, one step back, and nothing happens. On the evening of April 15, the Chinese Foreign Minister spoke with the Iranian Foreign Minister, in which the Chinese side strongly condemned the Israeli attack on the Iranian embassy and said that Iran's counterattack was not aimed at a third country and was willing to continue to maintain friendly relations with Iran.
The Chinese foreign minister said that the escalation of the Israeli-Iraqi situation is the latest manifestation of the spillover of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, and the top priority at present is to implement the UN Security Council ceasefire resolution on Gaza as soon as possible to avoid further escalation of the situation.
As the saying goes: "Take a step back and open the sea and the sky, and endure the calm for a while." The Palestinian-Israeli conflict has lasted for half a year, causing more than 100,000 casualties, the Red Sea crisis is still not over, which has a great impact on global shipping, the situation in the Middle East can no longer escalate and can no longer continue, if a full-scale conflict breaks out between Israel and Iraq, it will be disastrous for the world, so I hope that all parties can maintain maximum restraint and the international community will work together to ease the situation.
