Iran is really calm! Israel has begun to attack Iran's oil refineries, but unexpectedly, the Iranian president warned Israel not to escalate the situation! On June 15th, according to a report by Russia's Sputnik News Agency, after Israel attacked Iran's refining facilities, Iranian President Pezeshkyan stated that we did not start the war, but we responded with force. If Israel launches another act of aggression, it will face a more painful and devastating response.
Clearly, from Iran's statement, Iran obviously does not want to escalate the situation. What does Iran's statement mean? Although Iran means that if Israel continues to attack, Iran will certainly respond strongly, on the contrary, if Israel does not respond, will Iran stop there? However, in fact, Israel has no intention of stopping at all.
Firstly, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has clearly stated that the attacks on Iran will continue for weeks. Secondly, Israel's strikes against Iran have long exceeded the scope of nuclear facilities and military installations, and now Israel has begun to target economic goals. In fact, this is the first time since the Iran-Iraq War that Iran's refining facilities have been attacked, which shows that Israel is not afraid of escalating the situation.
In fact, if based on the principle of equivalence, Iran should without hesitation attack Israel's high-value economic targets as an equivalent response, making Israel feel the cost of attacking Iran. If Iran still hopes that Israel will stop the conflict first, on the one hand, it will put Iran in a passive position to be beaten, and on the other hand, it may allow Israel to see Iran's cards, leading to even more audacity.
