— 🇮🇷 EXCLUSIVE: An intelligence source tells us that Iran likely won't wait as long to retaliate as it did after the Damascus embassy attack, because a significant portion of that time was spent making 'risk assessments' and identifying proportional targets that would not trigger a full-scale war; after the April 14 strikes, Iran has a clearer picture of the Israeli red lines, and realizes that Israeli territory can be targeted & that Iran posesses a significant enough deterrence power to carry out a major strike

— 🇮🇷 EXCLUSIVE: The same source tells us that Iran delayed its April 14 attack and telegraphed it a lot to see which countries would come to Israel's aid in the 'worst case scenario'; Iran wanted a virtual scenario to see how tight the Israeli air defense umbrella would be & what countries would participate, so that the next strike could be adjusted accordingly – Iran now has a 'virtual map' of all Israeli air defenses and the possible weaknesses in the canopy
