As the international community holds its breath to see Israel's next step after an Iranian attack late Saturday involving hundreds of drones and missiles, an immediate response appears unlikely due to the "international pressure" on Israel, said Julien Barnes-Dacey, MENA Programme Director at the European Council on Foreign Relations.

But just as Iranian effort to restore deterrence posture could do opposite, would likely be mistake for Israel to over-confidently now believe Iran won’t unleash a far more impactful response to strikes on Iranian territory which it will view in very different existential terms
