There is no way that murdering top Iranian officials in an Iranian embassy ~~on Syrian soil~~ was ever going to be anything but a gauntlet thrown down. If it was almost any other country than Israel the world would be outraged. Countries like the USA and Germany didn't pull support because of things like destroying hospitals and killing innocents, so bombing the embassy of a country as reviled as Iran inside Syria wasn't going to stop them.
Netanyahu knows his days in power are done very shortly after Israel leaves a condition of all-out war. Biden has told him that, his polls tell him that, and protestors tell him that. I think he's poking the local bears to escalate and stay in power by extending the conflict. Both Biden and Trump have promised support so Netanyahu is acting with the backing of the world's largest military no matter who wins. Pulling the USA and other Western countries into another war in the Middle East is his best bet of pushing that day of reckoning way down the road.
This was a completely blatant provocation in order to move the theater to Iran and keep the war footing going. If Iran were smart, they'd make a quick foray to quiet home pressure then just pull back and let Bibi wind down and face his corruption trial if he gets forced out of leveling Gaza because of international condemnation.
Israel, you can do better than this prick. Get your shit together or you're going to get left to your own devices and the rest of the world will just come in and pick up the pieces afterwards.
Iran claims the matter is concluded assuming Israel doesn't strike back in retaliation of their retaliation.
Of course Isreal is going to continue the matter though, they're the one that started it by attacking the embassy.
Moreover, "Biden told Netanyahu U.S. won't support an Israeli counterattack on Iran"
