Iran and Israel’s tit-for-tat may be over. The threat isn’t.
Others have warned that Iran – by giving notice, attacking in smaller waves and using fewer than 200 ballistic and cruise missiles from an arsenal estimated to include at least 3,000 – wasn’t trying to maximize damage, but to make a deterrent point, meaning that next time could be very different. As Michael DiMino, a fellow at the dovish Washington think tank Defense Priorities told me, had the attack been designed to cause real damage it would, at a minimum, have included a barrage from Hezbollah, on Israel’s northern border.
