19. Israel mulls next move after direct strikes by Iran: Does it stop here?Пн, 15 апр[-/+]Категория(?) Автор(?) | Did it finish with Saturday night, or will it spiral further out of control? Iran's first-ever direct attack against Israel has already sent the whole region into uncharted territory. We ask about the measure of its response to Israel's targeting of Tehran's embassy compound in Syria. We also ask whether the proportionality shows Iran's strength or weakness, and whether Israel's prime minister will heed the call of G7 allies to leave it there and move towards an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.

20. Iran’s reprisal against Israel: A failed attack or a veiled warning?Пн, 15 апр[-/+]Категория(?) Автор(?) | The feared reprisal had been almost two weeks in the making. But when Iran finally pushed the button on its retaliatory attack against Israel late on Saturday, it appeared to amount to little more than a drawn-out light show, resulting only in minor damage to some remote Israeli military infrastructure and the injury of a seven-year-old girl from a Bedouin community. Analysts say the Iranian operation was designed to fail from the start and had been carefully choreographed to avoid triggering an all-out regional war. At least for now. Медиа: image / jpeg | ↑ |

25. Israel retaliation unlikely due to 'international pressure' and Iran's 'restraint', specialist saysПн, 15 апр[-/+]Автор(?) | As the international community holds its breath to see Israel's next step after an Iranian attack late Saturday involving hundreds of drones and missiles, an immediate response appears unlikely due to the "international pressure" on Israel, said Julien Barnes-Dacey, MENA Programme Director at the European Council on Foreign Relations.
