3. Maybe this paves the way for a ceasefire fire?

Everybody knew Israel was going to respond, and I believe a cease fire was on hold until after Israel responded. The response was limited to military targets. Israel quickly came out and said the attack was over and Iran media is downplaying the attack. Not something you do when looking to broaden/escalate the conflict.

Maybe wishful thinking-but seems to me nobody wants to escalate from here, potentially leading to ceasefire talks…… A ceasefire before the election would be welcome news.. time will tell.
