Israel’s response is just a start in stopping Iran’s reach
NY Post
Israel’s retaliatory strike Thursday night against Iran was remarkably restrained.
We, like many other national-security analysts, believed the IDF’s response to Tehran’s April 13 attack on Israel would be big, loud and multilayered.
Instead, it was quietly strategic.
It also was revealing of Jerusalem’s long-term approach to Tehran.
Israel, calculatingly, intends to take a dynamic approach.
Reestablishing strategic regional deterrence by hitting Iran directly is only the beginning.

Imagine if Allied intelligence had located Adolf Hitler in late May 1944 and killed him before the Normandy invasion. Imagine that in the same hour, strikes eliminated Hitler’s designated successor, the head of the German Armed Forces High Command, the chief operational planner of the war effort, Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, responsible for defending Western Europe, and the rest of Germany’s field marshals and senior commanders.
