Iran's actions are a bit provocative! Iran has shown some firmness, delivering a moderate response to Israel, revealing a different side of Iran to the world. Its Foreign Minister Amir-Abdollahian expressed disappointment. At the first press conference after the conflict, in front of media from Iran, Saudi Arabia, and other countries, Amir-Abdollahian stated that Iran was very likely planning to reach an agreement on abandoning nuclear weapons during today's Iran-U.S. negotiations, but Israel disrupted that. He also mentioned that Iran does not want to escalate the conflict, and if Israel stops its aggression in the region, Iran will cease its retaliatory actions against Israel. Amir-Abdollahian's statements demonstrate Iran's indecision and lack of an attitude to decisively defeat Israel; the recent responses to Israel appear to be merely to provide an explanation to the domestic audience, just a symbolic gesture.
