An Israeli attack on Iranian territory could radically change dynamics and result in there being nothing left of the "Zionist regime," Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi was quoted as saying on Tuesday by the official IRNA news agency.
Raisi began a three day visit to Pakistain on Monday, and has vowed to boost trade between the neighboring nations to $10 billion a year.

On Friday, explosions were heard over the Iranian city of Isfahan in an alleged Israeli attack on a missile defense system, but Tehran played down the incident and said it had no plans for retaliation.

report said on Monday that Israel’s original retaliatory plan against Iran included a much wider counterstrike on military targets, including near Tehran.
"Such a broad and damaging attack would have been far harder for Iran to overlook, increasing the chances of a forceful Iranian counterattack," the paper said.
Israel has not officially acknowledged responsibility for the counterstrike, though several of its leaders have intimated responsibility. Iran has played down the significance of the response and not directly blamed Israel, which the Times said was being interpreted as "Iranian reluctance to respond."

The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade.
