They have international legitimacy to respond but window is quickly closing. Worst Israel can do is some strikes on Iran from Iraqi airspace. Iranian regime is probably worried that becomes a weekly or monthly occurrence if they respond. Or Israel attacks Hezbollah. Basically resistance axis lacks political will to confront Israel and it was shown by their reaction to war in Gaza and likely won't change.It's too late now. If it doesn't come tonight then we 'time and place of our choosing' means never going to happen. The way they're restraining Hezbollah too is a sign nothing will happen. US says it doesn't want this war to spread, and resistance axis is complying which is increasing Gaza's isolation. It's not in Israel's interests to be fight another front. There will be lots of excuses to not respond regardless. Probably because any Iran strike means Israel will easily do strikes on Iran from Iraqi airspace which won't hurt Iran but more so embarrass them and Iranian regime can't take that humiliation right now. They won't be able to stop some airstrikes from Israeli jets in Iraqi airspace. Few weeks everyone will have forgotten. It doesn't take weeks to muster up a response. That just means a response was not considered a option and taken off the table. Israel will do such strikes again at random times just because they can there isn't a threat to them and Iran and Hezbollah are mostly complying to keep war isolated to Gaza.
