Let’s Be Careful Out There…

Israel reacts in muted fashion:
The Israeli military struck Iran early on Friday, according to two Israeli and three Iranian officials, in what appeared to be Israel’s first military response to Iran’s attack last weekend but one whose scope, at least initially, appeared to be limited.
The Iranian officials said that a strike had hit a military air base near the city of Isfahan, in central Iran. Initial reaction in both Israel and Iran was muted, with news media in both countries appearing to play down the attack, in what analysts said was a sign that the rivals were seeking to de-escalate tensions. For nearly a week, world leaders have urged Israel and Iran to avoid sparking a broader war in the region.
The Israeli military declined to comment. All the officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly.
This is about as “let’s chill this shit out” as you can get with missiles, but it is nevertheless a direct attack on Iran. While the senior levels of government in both Tehran and Jerusalem clearly want this to end, they’ll need to take great care with their own security services in order to ensure that the conflict doesn’t take on a life of its own.
…by the way, this shit will get you immediately, permanently banned.
