Iran has signaled its intention to retaliate against a suspected Israeli air strike on its Damascus consulate in a manner designed to avoid escalating into an all-out regional conflict, according to officials briefed on the discussions and reported by FT. This approach has been communicated to allies and western nations, emphasizing a 'calibrated' response to keep wider conflict at bay. The strike, which Tehran attributes to Israel, has prompted a flurry of diplomatic activity, with Iran indicating its retaliation will be measured to prevent further escalation. Officials have highlighted Iran's strategy to contain the fallout and avoid hasty actions that could lead to a broader war. Despite the tension, Iran has urged Israel not to respond militarily to its planned retaliation, framing it as a justified countermeasure to the unprecedented attack overnight on its consulate.
