That is why Iran is delaying to launch a counter attack on Israel

Ismail Haniyeh, the political head of the Palestinian independence organization Hamas, visited the country as a state guest to participate in the swearing-in ceremony of Iran’s new president. But he was killed in an Israeli attack there. After this incident, Iran threatened Israel with a severe counterattack. A few weeks have passed since that call. But the country has not yet attacked Israel.
There have been many speculations about why Iran has not yet attacked Israel. Later, the officials of the country were forced to open their mouths about it.
Iran will attack Israel sooner or later, the Westerners believe. However, Iranian officials say that the ongoing ceasefire in Gaza is the redline for this attack. That is, if the talks fail or if it seems that Israel is deliberately prolonging the talks, then Iran will attack the Zionist state. However, it is not yet clear how long Iran will allow this discussion to continue.
It is becoming clear day by day that Iran does not want to engage in war right now. Intelligence analysts came to the conclusion that Iran had not attacked Israel weeks after Haniyeh’s murder. After healing the wounds of the war with Israel in 2006, Lebanon has recovered somewhat financially. If Iran were to attack Israel now, the first target would be Tehran’s proxies in the country. Iran and Lebanon know this very well.
Lebanon’s wealthy are fleeing the country, fearing a possible war. The same picture is seen inside Iran. Israel also knows about such weakness of Iran. Neither the US nor other Westerners want Tel Aviv to think about anything outside of Gaza. But Haniyah’s assassination changed all the equations. In particular, such killings on the soil of Iran are an example of the extreme intelligence failure of Tehran, which was naturally not digested by the supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Before this, Israel has repeatedly attacked various targets of Iran. Starting from the attack on Iran’s nuclear facility in Natanz, Tel Aviv has been able to kill various important people of the country in terrorist attacks. A few months ago, more than 300 missiles were attacked from Iran, but Israel was not harmed. Israel launched a surgical strike last April on a radar station near Natanz, which is under a reverse security envelope.
Israel sent a similar message to Iran through Haniya’s murder. Despite this security, Tel Aviv was able to kill Haniya without much trouble. Through this, the message that Israel has given to Iran is that you are within our reach. It is questionable whether Iran will be able to get out of Israel’s net. Therefore, Iran may not be able to attack Israel with all its might.
