Israel’s direct strike on Iran marks a new phase
Saturday, October 26, 2024
Israel’s attack on Iran was part of a new phase in tensions as it was the first time Israel admitted to a direct strike on Iran, with Tehran downplaying the impact and Israel exaggerating its achievements, analyst Abas Aslani said.
"This indicates that … Israel may be encouraged by the US to avoid a full-scale war in the region," Aslani, a senior research fellow at the Center for Middle East Strategic Studies, told Al Jazeera from Tehran. "The initial assessment and the initial reaction here in Tehran indicates that maybe a serious or significant reaction, a direct reaction against Israel, was not as likely."
However, Aslani said some sort of response from Iran should be expected.
