Ever since Israel took out Hamas Chief Ismail Haniyeh, the world has been waiting for Iran to retaliate. Iranian officials have threatened and blustered, with a lack of follow through. The United States and foreign mediators are maintaining pressure on Iran to delay an attack targeting Israel, by threatening Iran. US, Israeli, and Iranian officials cited by the New York Times on August 16 said that Iran is expected to delay its retaliatory strike during Israel- Hamas ceasefire negotiations. Is this the real reason Iran has not struck Israel directly? President Biden said that he “expects” that Iranian leaders will delay or indefinitely postpone a strike if a ceasefire agreement is reached. It is widely known that the Iranian regime punishes and murders citizens who criticize the regime. How, then, do Iranian intellectuals inside Iran see the conflicts post-assasination of Ismaiel Haniya? How are they are justifying the actions of Iran regarding the possible strike to Israel?
