Iranian Media Virtually Silent About A Possible Retaliation
Government media in Iran was mainly silent on Friday about the issue of an attack on Israel. While in previous days officials and clerics regularly made remarks about how to retaliate against Israel, there was virtually nothing in Tehran media today.
However, commentators and some regime insiders continued to tweet on the subject. Notable was a tweet by conservative commentator Ahmad Zeidabadi who rhetorically asked the country’s highest authorities if they were planning to attack. If so, he asked, how they can be sure Israel will not respond. What will they do if a response comes?
Another retaliation will lead to a “destructive and needless war,” Zeidabadi said.
