'No Escalation If Israel Doesn't Respond': Iran Claims Destruction of Several F-35s at Israeli Bases
Official Tehran, having launched a massive attack on Israel, decided to use the rhetoric of its own opponents. The Iranian authorities stated that "a limited operation took place in response to Israel's violations of international law."
Iranian representative to the United Nations:
There will be no escalation if Israel refuses to "respond to a response," according to Iran's UN ambassador.
Whether this can be called Persian trolling of Israel and the US is an open question. However, it is clear that Iran is determined. According to the same Iranian ambassador to the UN, if Israel decides to further escalate and “carries out further malicious acts,” then “there will be a new blow that will be devastating.”
In such cases, it is customary to say that "the ball is in the opponent's half of the field." The future situation in this macro-region, which already now resembles a seething crater of a volcano, depends on how Israel handles it.
Let us recall that Iran just fired hundreds of missiles at Israel missiles. The IRGC announced the destruction of at least 20 fifth-generation F-35 fighters of the Israeli Air Force at their airfields. It was also reported that a gas platform in the Mediterranean Sea near the shores of Israel was hit by a missile. Israel has not yet confirmed this information.
