The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps:

"Iran attacked important Israeli military installations after more than 10 days of silence and disregard by international organizations, especially the UN Security Council, which did not condemn the aggression and criminality of the Zionist regime in the attack on the consular section of the Iranian embassy in Damascus

America is responsible for the evil actions of the Zionist regime, and if this child-killing regime is not curbed in the region, it must accept its consequences."

Is the Middle East on the brink of regional war? Maybe not

Despite Iran's retaliatory drone and missile attack against Israel, it is possible that the current round of escalation may not lead to a full-scale war, Dr. Ahmed Al Ibrahim, a Riyadh-based political analyst, told Sputnik

"The current media frenzy surrounding the strike is disproportionately amplified compared to the actual events transpiring on the ground. They anticipate that the true extent of casualties and the aftermath of Iran's actions will only be discernible following a thorough assessment. The mention of a significant explosion in Iran, coupled with the US Air Force's operations over Iraq… highlights a tense geopolitical landscape. Despite this, I argues that Iran's capacity to directly threaten Israel is limited by geographical constraints, although they  acknowledge the potential for escalation," stated the expert.

Dr. Al Ibrahim believes that one cannot rule out the possibility of “clandestine communications” between Iran and the US about the acceptable parameters for escalation. If that is the case, then that suggests that the current crisis is a "bubble inflated by media coverage and public attention", which will soon dissipate.
