A few days ago, Israel suddenly attacked several Iranian sites, including Isfahan and Tabriz, where the Nuclear Technology Research Center is located. Israel has been silent on the details of the attack, and Iran has reacted in a very low-key manner, saying only that it shot down a few Israeli drones and suffered little damage on the ground. As a result, Iran has not suffered serious casualties or damage to its nuclear facilities.
This time, Iran did not say it would retaliate after being attacked in retaliation by Israel. In an interview with the US media, Iran's foreign minister did not even testify that Israel was responsible for the attack that day. He said that the manual weapon is more like a child's toy. If Israel launches a large-scale attack, Iran will certainly respond harshly. In other words, Iran's foreign minister is expressing the intention that if Israel does not carry out any more attacks, Iran will be at peace. Developments do not seem to be meeting the expectations of the Netanyahu government. For Israel, the attack on the embassy was all about making Iran lose its mind and declare war on Israel. If a conflict of a certain scale does not break out between the two countries, the United States cannot be completely involved, and the United States will continue to stay out of the situation and leave Israel alone to face the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
But the United States, Iran, and other Gulf states are well aware of Israel's intentions. The United States has repeatedly stated that it does not want the conflict to escalate. The United States does not even support Israel's attack on the Iranian embassy. According to foreign reports, Biden once advised Netanyahu not to retaliate against Iran's missile attacks, because 99% of Iran's incoming missiles were intercepted by everyone. British Foreign Secretary David Cameron also persuaded Netanyahu to stop there. Iran also does not want the conflict to expand and enter into a direct conflict with the United States.
As a result, the U.S. media praised Iran's restraint in a rare move, with the Foreign Affairs website commenting on April 19 that Iran's actions have calmed the world's fears of escalation. In this way, Israel's attack on Iran on April 19 was more like an emotional vent for Netanyahu. Without retaliation, it is difficult to explain the past, whether it is in his personal heart or in Israel's internal public opinion. Large-scale retaliation, again against the will of the United States and Great Britain. Moreover, since the current Palestinian-Israeli conflict, there are a large number of forces in the United States that support Palestine and oppose Israel. Netanyahu had to consider all of these factors, so he only used a small number of low-end drones in a form of revenge.
The far-right forces in Israel are still not satisfied with this feeble, pretentious act of revenge. The far-right forces not only want to drag the United States into the West Asian conflict, but also want to see Iran destroyed. Iran's ballistic missiles and drones have already caused Israel a very, very headache, and if Iran has nuclear weapons and displays them publicly, Israel's national security will be completely unguaranteed. Judging from the current situation, both the United States and Iran have taken concrete actions to suspend the direct conflict between Israel and Iran and avoid the escalation of the situation in West Asia, and the only variable within Israel is whether Netanyahu's far-right government can abandon its unrealistic goals and restrain its words and deeds. If they really want to bring Israel to ruin, it really won't work, because no one can control a madman.
