The New York Times reported this evening that Iran has not abandoned its intention to avenge the killing of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh and is seeking a way to respond moderately to maintain deterrence without risking a full-scale war.
According to a report on Israel Hayom, Tehran is facing a significant dilemma. On one hand, a lack of response is seen as an existential threat to the Iranian leadership. On the other hand, a retaliatory action could lead to dangerous escalation.
Experts estimate that Iran’s response will be more focused than the extensive attack in April and will likely target a "soft target" such as an embassy or another facility in Europe, Africa, or South America.
Additionally, it is anticipated that Iran will implement its plans within the coming days, over a month after Haniyeh’s assassination and almost a week after Hezbollah’s response to the killing of its chief of staff, Fuad Shukur.
