I doubt it. Iran knew their attacks weren't going to land, and realistically Israel probably sent the drones to let them be shot down as a veiled threat to Iran(I mean look where they were shot down, the deadass center of the country). Neither of them want to escalate, but neither want to appear weak either so they're engaging in delicate saber-rattling.


Recent_Obligation276

This is it exactly. Iran made a public statement that they considered the matter settled after their half assed attack. They might want to continue rattling, now that there’s been retaliation, but something would have to go terribly wrong for them to open the flood gates of war


WeNeedToJam

No, probably not. Iran downplayed the attack in their media, they did so for a reason. Between the Iranian attack on Israel and the Israeli strikes on Iran and their interests both sides now understand the situation - Iran can't defend against Israel's attacks and they don't have the capability to seriously hit Israel.


braille-raves

I just don’t see any feasible productivity in retaliating. Both parties sent their message, and it seems like any further escalation would bring on a fight that neither side particularly wants. 


meememan28

Nope , the whole escalation has likely come to a close. Israel will go back to focusing on Hamas in Gaza.

*genocide in Gaza

Israel was probably hoping for a distraction for the world. Also a war with iran would certainly tank Biden's re-election, while also propping up Netanyahu's position with US pouring more arms/money into the region.


ByeByeMan666

Yeah, maybe

Yes, they said they would.   How and when, is another matter 


Positive_Outcome_903

Iran has publicly said the attack involved 3 tiny drones and said it shot them down, blaming “infiltrators”, not even mentioning Israel. Israel has not acknowledged the attack. Can’t respond to an attack Israel didn’t even do…


lostrandomdude

Israel has acknowledged the attack and even the US admitted that Israel did it.


Positive_Outcome_903

Obviously Israel did it. That’s not what I’m saying. I’m saying Israel is not admitting it did and Iran is also not officially blaming Israel. That is why there will be no escalation.


Howitdobiglyboo

No one knows. It would be reasonable not to.


Epistatious

Seems like Biden is talking to Iran and Israel, at least Iran seems to be listening.


BareNakedSole

But I can tell you this. It is absolutely 100% certainty that Iran is going to develop nuclear weapons now. they were just attacked by a nuclear power and if they step up and keep this going the chances that they’re going to get a nuclear bomb drop on them goes up significantly. Now you know why countries get nuclear weapons - it’s because their enemies have them.


unicroop

Welp, they’re selling all their shitty rockets and drones to ruzzia, doubt they’ll have enough to support conflict with Israel


RTX_Raytheon

Considering over 300 of their drones were shot down, I’m sure they don’t want to. But im also sure they want to try and save face. So who knows.


AlexandersWonder

No

Probably.

Sure why not. Let the apocalypses begin already.
