Jonathan Lord, head of the Middle East security program at the Center for a New American Security, a U.S. think tank, said that
"seems to indicate that Iran is seeking to step down off the ledge, minimise the impact of the attack, and perhaps walk back down the escalation ladder from here".
Now, according to "reporting", Iran previously said that any Israeli strike on their homeland would be met with massive, unwarned retaliation on Israel. Maybe all of those reports, which were sourced to American, Israeli and Iranian officials, are false and Jonathan Lord is correct. Or maybe this is the notorious fog of war. Or maybe it's propaganda and tits will be replied to with tats as they have been for nearly 2,000 years in the Mid East.
