>>507182649> they're just and in the right the I don't think that was the case, they wanted to give some show (maybe so their people don't revolt since they have been living in misery for decades under the premise of resistance etc, or other reasons) but at the same time they didn't want to go full hoping israel will back down, because iran just wanted some time for the nukes, but 'hope' isn't a strategy and israel didn't back down.
I read last year that iran deep state is who prevented hizbulla from escalating and going after tel aviv, they are too who snitched on its leaders, snitched on hamas leader in tehran, AND they got rid of iran president that time in that chopper attack only to prevent any escalation, because again, they thought israel will back down and they get the time to make the nukes, so eventually they have a proper deterrence, but none of that worked out.
