Iran reportedly not 'looking for a major escalation' with Israel amid retaliation threats

Sky News US analyst Michael Ware says he does not think it is a foregone conclusion that Iran will strike Israel at some point, as threats of retaliatory attacks from Iran grow. This follows the deaths of two senior Iranian officials in a suspected Israeli strike on its embassy in Syria. “A strike on Israel itself is very, very different to a strike on Israeli interests or Israeli assets,” Mr Ware told Sky News Australia. “Tehran knows that a rocket or other strike within Israel will be so provocative that it will blow up the entire region. “Yet, Tehran is allegedly reassuring countries in the region and the United States that ‘while we’re going to hit back, we’re not looking for a major escalation’.”
