How Iran chooses to respond to the unusually public Israeli airstrikes could determine whether the region spirals further toward all-out war or holds steady at an already devastating and destabilizing level of violence.
Regional experts suggested that Israel’s relatively limited target list was intentionally calibrated to make it easier for Iran to back away from escalation.
As Yoel Guzansky, who formerly worked for Israel’s National Security Council and is now a researcher at the Tel Aviv-based Institute for National Security Studies, put it: Israel’s decision to focus on purely military targets allows Iran “to save face.”
No, Israel is not. Israel is has been trying to expand this conflict further, and if you’ve been following the events in the past year, it should be painfully obvious at this point.
Israel giving them the out.

K, the article disagrees.
Do you remember that time Israel detonated pagers in Lebanon? I know it was about a month and a half ago…
Or that Israel has killed over 43,000 people in Gaza the past year? Over half of which are women and children.
K, with all that, the article still disagrees.
