    Their display of strength was displayed during th Oct 1 attacks. I’m not saying a follow up attack by Iran is unlikely. I’m saying the plitical situation in America currently, and whatever it is after Nov 5th, will be a big factor in what they decide to do.

      Their Oct 1 attacks were in response to the assassination of Nasrallah, in combination with a response to the assassination of a visiting diplomat in Tehran from a separate attack from Israel.

      Iran agreed not to respond to the assassination because the US promised that if Iran didn’t respond, the US would secure a peace deal for Gaza.

      The fact that they delivered and the US didn’t is well known to the Persian people, even if it isn’t here. And, the lack of response was considered internally there as encouraging Israeli aggression.

      The whole ‘nothing is more important than the US election’ is far less accurate than you think it is.
