Iran attack, Israel retaliation, missiles

Senior official estimates: This is the reason why Israel is not attacking Iran

Following the major missile attack by Iran, Israel is expected to retaliate. Yet the Iran affairs researcher, Hassan Radi, assesses the reasons why Israel has not yet attacked Iran, and also notes that there is concern in Israel about a potential Iranian retaliation.

The Iran affairs researcher, Hassan Radi, addressed in an interview with the Arab newspaper "Al-Hadath," which was featured in Maariv, the reasons why Israel has not yet attacked Iran.

"Israel is considering a response to the Iranian attack and is also contemplating creating a state of fear and deterrence," Rady began. "It is possible to attack any target in Iran: oil facilities, military bases, military airfields, etc.," he immediately qualified: "However, I believe that Israel does not want a response from Iran."

"This response will hurt Israel, as Israel has seen that the Iranian missiles hit its bases." "Even though Iran has military capabilities significantly greater than what it used in the previous attack," added Radi.

Does Israel only want to react? "I believe that Israel will not be able to withstand further attacks, because if Israel carries out a painful strike within Iran, the Iranian response will come from Iran and its militias, particularly from the Houthis," he noted.

"It is possible that Iran's preparations have already begun with the arrival of Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in Lebanon, and with his subsequent visit to Syria." This is when it is known that Iran has capabilities in Syria through the militias loyal to it and also through Hezbollah and many factions loyal to it," he claims.

As a reminder, during the Iranian attack, over 100 ballistic missiles were launched from Iranian territory towards dozens of cities and regions in Israel. Sirens were activated across the country, and hundreds of interceptors were launched in response.
