Behind Iran's restraint in West Asia conflict

Behind Iran's restraint in West Asia conflict

From late September, the exchange of fire between Hezbollah and Israel had rapidly escalated. Over the next two months, Israel relied heavily on airstrikes that targeted several high-level leaders, including Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah, the group's arsenal, launching sites, and strategic crossings along the Lebanese-Syrian border to degrade Hezbollah.

Iran's missile barrage into Israel on October 1, stated to be a reprisal against the killing of Nasrallah and Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, failed to reverse Israeli escalation in Lebanon and invited a direct response against Iran. Iran's two largely demonstrative strikes against Israel and lack of active support for Hezbollah indicate a restraint that has surprised many.
