That's now been revoked for the time being.
Both sides, I think, would want to find a way of climbing down.
Yeah, very significant.
And most of the targets have been along Iran's southern coast.
There have been reports that two railway bridges have been hit between Tehran and Mashhad, which is where the funeral is taking place.
So, you know, that looks very much like a pointed message.
It'd be presumably one of the routes that people attending the funeral would be hoping to go back on.
So it does look like a message.
Well, the only public official reaction has been to have security meetings, defence meetings in the case of an escalation that hits Israel and that Israel should be able to defend itself and strike back.
There haven't been any sort of official cheering from the sidelines from Benjamin Netanyahu, but this clearly suits him, the agreement between the US and Iran.
Absolutely.
The U.S.-Iran agreement and the prospect of something more enduring addressed the nuclear issue as well would have been a complete disaster for him going into elections because he vowed that he was going to get rid of the Iranian threat to Israel, which he's always portrayed as being existential.
This was going to be what his delivery was for the electorate.
The US-Iran deal definitely is not that.
Well, I think there's an expectation that this won't escalate back to full scale war and that there won't be an attack on Israel because that would be very unwise for Iran.
In recent days, the Israeli press have been more worried about the prospective U.S.
sale of F-35 stealth warplanes to Turkey.
than the Iranian flare-up.
And that is because they're very concerned about the route that Turkey is taking.
It's getting closer and closer to Hamas.
