Attack on Israel Exposes Iran to a Direct Response
(Israel Hayom) Meir Ben Shabbat - Iran carried out the largest missile and UAV attack any country has ever launched against another country. In doing so, it exposed itself to a direct response, led to the formation of a coalition of countries against it, and provided an opportunity to showcase an impressive array of air defense capabilities against Iran. Israel need not rush to respond. It would be wise to keep Iranian nerves in tense anticipation, allowing the Iranian rial to continue plummeting and enabling internal criticism of the regime to intensify.
