SUMMARY

A senior Iranian military official, Gen. Ali Mohammad Naeini, indicated that retaliation against Israel for the killing of a Hamas leader may be delayed. He stated, “Time is on our side, and it’s possible that the wait period for the response could take a long time.” This suggests that Iran is re-evaluating its options rather than rushing into conflict.
