Iran analyst Eliyahu Yosian said Wednesday that the Iranian regime's decision not to attack Israel in the current round of hostilities reveals that Tehran is 'in tremendous fear' of an Israeli response.

Eliyahu Yosian, an Iran expert, argued Wednesday that the Iranian regime's failure to attack Israel in the current round of hostilities demonstrates that Tehran is 'in great fear' of an Israeli response. He said the very fact that Israel is outside the picture and Iran did not attack Israel expresses the regime's fear of Israeli retaliation. The statement reflects a recurring theme among Israeli analysts that deterrence against Iran is holding, though it remains an unverified assessment.
