Iran retaliated against Israel
In April, following an alleged Israeli attack on its diplomatic post in Damascus, Iran retaliated against Israel, who in turn conducted another strike, though this wasn’t confirmed officially. This time, however, Israel confidently declared “precise strikes” on Iranian military targets. Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, initially urged a measured response, asserting that the strikes should “neither be exaggerated nor downplayed.” Going by Iran’s usual strategy, this calm facade might soon erode, leading to a violent response. The toppling of a key Iranian ally, Bashar al-Assad in Syria, by a Salafi group, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), has enabled an Israeli incursion in Syria through the Golan Heights. Such developments might further deteriorate Iran’s capabilities, yet a weaker Iran may not refrain from aggression should it feel threatened. สล็อต เว็บตรง
