Though Iran has vowed revenge for the Israeli strike, officials and analysts expected it would carefully calibrate its response to avoid provoking all-out war.
People drive past a billboard in Tehran on Wednesday with a picture of Mohammad Reza Zahedi, a commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' Quds Force, two days after Zahedi was killed in an airstrike in Syria. The message on the billboard reads, “You will be punished.
The Damascus strike was viewed as an attack on Iranian soil and, as a result, any retaliation would be likely to come from Iran itself, rather than its allies, said the person, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter.Israel will be “punished by the hands of our brave men,” Khamenei said, also suggesting retribution was a sovereign affair.
For months, though, there have been warnings that the region is one miscalculation away from calamity. Israel appeared to be preparing for retaliation. The Israeli military announced Thursday that it was suspending leave for reservists, a day after it ordered the reinforcement of air defense units. Later Thursday, to avoid panic, the Israel Defense Forces spokesman wrote in a message posted on X that “no generators need to be purchased, no food should be stored, no money should be withdrawn from ATMs.
