Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
From what I saw before any attacks happened, their plan was always to retaliate in kind, but also begin focus on developing nuclear weapons.
I would assume they are currently planning their retaliation and production of nuclear weapons, and will likely not want to escalate to full scale war until they get their nukes situated both of these will take time as the strike eliminated military chiefs and scientists so they need to restructure and reorganize.
But this is obviously just assumptions at this point.
Everything i have seen suggests it is already a full scale war on Israels part. It isn't really up to Iran to have it not be a war if Israel keeps bombing them and won't stop. Which they've indicated they'll continue to do. So Iran either fights back, and declares war, or it submits and lets all its nuclear sites be destroyed, and the regime probably collapses.
Yeah I made my comment before I saw that Israel was continuing attacks.
Iran definitely couldn't just sit around even if that would have been strategically sound.
Iran definitely made their force felt though, and their people rallied around them for it. At this point we just have to hope Israel doesn't go all "Samson" either in retaliation for these waves or inevitable future retaliation. I think Iran is stronger and it's people more united than Israel expected.
