What the delay suggests is that this time Iranian retaliation is going to be on a much bigger scale than before. We’re talking about the potential beginning of world war three.
Iran has to take into account an Israeli counter attack, then another retaliation from Iran, then the US entering the battle etc. There is an enormous chance of an uncontrollable escalation ladder leading to a war of annihilation.
It appears that Iran and Russia are coordinating the response. The Russians have understood that NATO won’t back off from waging war on Russia in Ukraine, so they’re arming the Axis of Resistance, including the Houthis.
The Nazis made a fatal mistake in WW2 when they started a two front war against the Allies and Russia. The Anglo-Zionists have made the same mistake, attacking Gaza while in the middle of a war with Russia.
This conflict has the potential to turn into a free for all with millions dying. Before going into battle you need to be prepared for total war.
