Analysis: Iran’s options after Israel’s attack, and why none of them are good

"Jason Brodsky, policy director at United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI), told Al Arabiya English that Khamenei’s lack of a firm public pledge for retaliation does not mean there will not be one.

“Let’s not forget that after Nasrallah was eliminated, Khamenei never made a firm pledge to respond. But only days later, Tehran attacked Israel again with little notice,” Brodsky pointed out."
