An Israeli analyst warns that if the United States launches exceptional strikes on Iran tonight, Iran is likely to retaliate by targeting Israel — a departure from the previous pattern. The assessment, posted by commentator Haim Cohen on Telegram, cautions that the response could differ from Iran's restrained reaction to the past round of US strikes.
Commentator Haim Cohen published a brief security assessment on his the source, stating a marked departure from the previous round of US-Iran hostilities. Unlike yesterday, when a US strike on Iran did not trigger an Iranian response against Israel, Cohen assesses that if the US launches 'exceptional strikes' on Iran tonight, Tehran will retaliate by targeting Israeli territory. The assessment carries no formal sourcing and represents the analyst's personal view. This bulletin appears against a backdrop of heightened US-Iran tensions. As The Zioneer has reported over recent days, the US military is prepared to respond to any Iranian retaliation (Fox News, June 10), and Iranian officials have warned repeatedly that any aggression by Israel or the US will be considered grounds for a harsh response — including potentially striking the source of attacks (June 9–10). The assessment marks a shift in one Israeli analyst's expectations for Iranian behavior and comes as the security establishment in Israel braces for escalation scenarios (Here 11, June 9). No further details on the nature or timing of the potential strikes have been reported.
