2024-04-13
Clearly they didn’t — or haven’t yet. The article is time-stamped 9:59 p.m. Israel time, or 3:59 p.m. ET.
[IsraelTimes] US general meets with Israeli defense brass to discuss expected Iranian retaliation for alleged Israeli strike on IRGC members; Halevi says IDF ‘ready for any scenario’.

A major retaliatory attack by Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries" embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime"s influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
on Israel could come as soon as Friday, according to an American media report, as the top United States general in the Mideast visited for talks with the defense brass on military readiness amid the Iranian threats.

Citing two unnamed US officials, CBS reported the attack could possibly include more than 100 drones and dozens of missiles aimed at military targets inside the country, the officials said, while warning Israel would be challenged to fend off an assault of that scale.

The officials said it was possible Tehran may still opt for a smaller-magnitude strike in order to avoid a dramatic escalation.
Or, as Grom the Reflective predicts, they will do nothing directly, lest Israel’s response leaves Iran open to the mercy of its other enemies.
