Tehran’s patience is being tested by Israel: Analysis
Friday, Oct 4, 2024
Tohid Asadi, a writer and specialist in Iranian affairs, told Al Jazeera that Iranian officials are making "double-edged statements."
On the one hand, they claim they are not "warmongers", and at the same time, they are saying, "We are not afraid of war".
Asadi explained that this means if Israel demonstrates aggression towards Iran, there will be "tough consequences".
He said the message from Tehran is clear, that its patience has reached a limit.
He said Tehran is still seeking de-escalation, but if Israel "decides to continue this insatiable desire to expand the battlefield, there is going to be [a] crushing response".
