Iran And Israel Face Off

The Israel war in Gaza has many subplots with Hezbollah in Lebanon and Israel nibbling at each other and the Houthi's in Yemen attacking Western shipping and the West bombing them i return but while they have been simmering just below boiling point, the latest developments between Israel and Iran are threatening to explode alarmingly.
Iran have vowed to respond to Israel killing senior Iranian commanders when it bombed the diplomatic compound in Syria and the World is waiting to see what Tehran will do next and what the response from Israel will be with many nations warning their people in Israel to be ready to leave the country at short notice.
'We will make them regret this crime and other ones like it, by God's will' warned Iran's Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei which drew a response from Israel that if Iran attacks it, Israel will: 'respond and attack in Iran' and then the United States weighed in, putting Iran on notice that it will: 'help defend Israel'.
American media, quoting unnamed US sources, have spoken of an imminent Iranian assault against Israeli targets, with a wave of drones and missiles but the Ayatollah faces a choice because every action it is considering comes with a risk.
Iran's usual response, is to mainly hit back through its proxies Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houtihi's but in January it fired missiles at a Mossad Spy Agency base in Iraq but a direct attack on military targets in Israel is not expected to be on the way, rather operations against Israeli embassies and interests elsewhere in the world and increasing support for it's proxies already fighting Israel.
Another option could be that Iran bides its time, keeping Israel dangling and continually running up and down it's enemies security measures in anticipation of an attack that may, or may not, arrive at some point but military experts are saying Iran is too canny to attack Israel itself, it will bide it's time, let everyone believe that something will happen soon only for it to happen somewhere else at a later date.
