Israel’s large and publicly acknowledged strikes on Iranian air-defence, missile production, and (at time of writing still unconfirmed) potentially also nuclear facilities at Parchin on 26th October have been met with a dismissive public statement response from the Iranian regime.

Will Iran respond directly against Israel again (as on October 1st 2024) , or attempt to stop the spiral by not retaliating directly, instead relying on proxies or even “doing nothing extra”?

Time bound for 2024. Any attack from Iran or Iranian forces (IRGC, Iranian Military, Navy included) against Israel proper will resolve to YES.
