Iran and Israel both ‘downplayed’ Isfahan airstrike for ‘political benefit’

Australian Strategic Policy Institute Dr Malcolm Davis says Israel’s retaliatory strike on Iran was “downplayed” on "both sides”. Mr Davis told Sky News Australia that neither side has an “interest in escalation”. “I think that the Israelis struck very effectively. “For both sides, there was political benefit in downplaying it. “Because neither side at this time wanted to engage in a tit-for-tat escalation that could lead to a much larger war.”
