Israel’s large and publicly acknowledged strikes on Iranian air-defence, missile production, and (at time of writing still unconfirmed) potentially also nuclear facilities at Parchin on 26th October have been met with a dismissive public statement response from the Iranian regime.
Will Iran respond directly against Israel again (as on October 1st 2024) , or attempt to stop the spiral by not retaliating directly, instead relying on proxies or even “doing nothing extra”?
Time bound for 2024. Any attack from Iran or Iranian forces (IRGC, Iranian Military, Navy included) against Israel proper will resolve to YES.

Latest is that the Israeli 26th October strikes on Iran were much larger and more significant than Iran has claimed.
Despite downplaying the attack, there seems to have been significant danger or Iranian Air Defence systems at multiple locations (perhaps including damage to ALL of Iran’s most advanced air defence batteries - its S300s), critical missile production and missile solid fuel production facilities, and an oil refinery. Over 100 Israeli aircraft were involved, in three waves of attacks, and Israel warplanes (probably F-35 stealth fighters) entered Iranian airspace with no (apparent) losses.
Iran continues to downplay the attacks, albeit hedging and suggesting a right to retaliate
