Perhaps, but I haven't seen it. A few days ago, Israel did not respond to Iranian aggression with a counter strike (as most mainstream media sources framed it). Iran was responding to Israel's ongoing aggression in southern Lebanon over the last few months, where the Israeli military has been bulldozin...
