      If iran goes into war than all those iranian sales to russia go kaput. So yeah, russia doesn't want that escalation at all. Also, russia just shot itself in the foot with this one cause now israel fully sees russia as an iranian ally which in turn drives israel foreign policy to ally itself with ukrainian interests, something israel haf avoided this far.

      And to add on, a full-scale war involving the West in the Middle East will force Russia to intervene on Iran's side, something Russia cannot afford to do now. The domestic political costs will be far more significant, rivaling the Afghan campaign, and be potentially regime-ending.

At least, the drones were officially from Ukraine. If I were a Balt I'd be nervous right now.

      In an attempt to avoid escalation into a direct war while being able to say they retaliated at the same time, they telegraphed their attack so that actual damage would be extremely limited. Then they sent out the message that for them, the matter was resolved.

Though they never formally contacted Israel and co. as far as I'm aware.

    1979 - The US embassy in Iran is attacked and embassy employees are held captive
    2011 - UK embassy in Iran is attacked
    1992 - Israel's embassy in Argentina is bombed, killing 29, Argentina's court found Iran was behind the bombing.

      Israel took an oppertunity given they and Syria are still at war by nature, so frankly, while a move even WE Americans dissapprove of, its an.oppertunity we also fully understand.
      Israel didnt waste their chance to really hurt Irans coand structure. Replacing fanatics is cheap, replacing veterans, top advisors and generals especially...thats far, far harder than even replacing tanks. Thats an asset Iran CANT replace effectively.
      No mistake tho: Israels taking some VERY brutal means to show theyre DONE doing this the Wests way.
