Following a recent Israeli strike on Isfahan, Iran, described as a lackluster and temporary measure, tensions have escalated between Israel and Iran. The strike, ordered by Prime Minister Netanyahu, has been criticized for its ineffectiveness. Amidst this, Israel maintains an official policy of silence as it waits for the 'fog of war' to clear. U.S. Secretary of State Blinken has expressed a commitment to de-escalating tensions between the two nations. Ambassador John Bolton highlighted that Israel is engaged in a multifront war, all funded by Iran.

.@AnshelPfeffer Israel’s lackluster strike on Isfahan is at most a temporary measure, a place-holder. And it was ordered by Netanyahu, who made a career out of talking up the Iranian threat but when the moment of truth came, he had nothing to say or offer https://t.co/LIPI29YjyF
Israel needed to strike back at Iran - analysis It’ll take some time for the fog of war to clear, especially as Israel maintains an official policy of silence. ✍️: @yaakovkatz https://t.co/AS6tbukR4C
