Israeli army promises "riposte" to Iranian attack, without giving details

"Israel has been very attached since its origins to a theory of deterrence based on a kind of law of Talion with a multiplier: an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, but to the multiple. Israel is obliged to retaliate. Some radical ministers have said we should go berserk and devastate Iran. Others are in favor of a retaliation that would come later," analyzes Pascal de Crousaz, a specialist in the Middle East.
