Despite the question marks that have begun to increase regarding the response that Iran has threatened to give to the assassination of the head of the political bureau of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), Ismail Haniyeh, while he was a guest of its, social media users are almost certain that Tehran’s strike is coming without a doubt.
Iranian authorities have asked Egyptian airlines to avoid the country's airspace for three hours on Thursday due to military exercises, which means the atmosphere is very cloudy and uncomfortable in the region as a whole.
Even in Israel, there are preparations to set up a tent city in the Negev to accommodate displaced people, and a state of high alert in all institutions in preparation for the response that everyone is waiting for. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asked the Israelis to be patient and calm, but he reassured them by saying, “There is no need to worry. We are prepared defensively and offensively.”
At the same time, the United States will send more warships and fighter jets to the Middle East to bolster its military power.
Although things are still very normal – in practical terms – with no missiles, no drones, and nothing but Tehran saying it will respond without specifying a time for this response, the Israelis have become in a state of constant anxiety, waiting for this moment, which no one knows when it will be.
In Iran, officials continue to stress that its response will be costly for Israel, but it is in the interest of the region, as Acting Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Bagheri said, stressing that Tel Aviv is not in a position to wage war on Iran.
In Lebanon, Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah threatened the Israelis with an inevitable response, saying that waiting was part of the punishment.
War is coming
Of course, social media is strongly present in this case, which many believe will inevitably move from the square of threat to the square of implementation. Othman wrote, “The war is coming inevitably and the region is on a hot plate. Israel is not able to restore its deterrent power without completely eliminating Hezbollah, and the axis of resistance cannot remain silent about the Zionist arrogance without a deadly response.”
As for Farida, she wrote, “The longer they prolong the date of the strike, the more confusion the entity will have and the more interests will be disrupted. I think it is a deliberate plan by Iran.” While Walid Tawfiq said, “Iran proved in the previous strike that it can reach the Israeli depths, which have become permissible, and it is now required to provide a qualitative response that preserves its prestige.”
“Iran may give its allies the opportunity to respond in a calculated, quantitative manner, but it must fight the confrontation itself,” Tawfiq added.
However, there are those who believe that it might be better to exploit the moment to stop the war in the Gaza Strip, including Mahmoud, who wrote, “Frankly, everything that comes out of Iran without thorough investigations and access to all levels of collaborators inside Iran is just nonsense. I think it is better to exploit the matter to pressure towards a ceasefire.”
In the same vein, Miran wrote, “I believe that Iran will be busy for a while trying to clean up its internal house to find out how the breach occurred. Its response may not come in the way we expect. Iran is like a carpet weaver, and its breath is long.”
With the long wait for a response, the Israelis demanded – according to the Washington Post – that their government launch a preemptive strike against Iran and the Lebanese Hezbollah instead of waiting for a response that no one knows when or how it will be.
According to the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth, the worst scenario for Israel is a simultaneous double attack by Iran and the Lebanese Hezbollah with hundreds of missiles and drones.
