I find it quite strange that you expect Iran under the most draconian sanctions to military respond to Israel/US when China itself with all its immense power and economic might still gets trolled by US.
Just to name a few
*US continues to arm Taiwan
*US continues to violate South China Sea defense zones
*US continues to involve itself with Chinese domestic affairs (Hong Kong, Uygur Muslims, etc)
What has China or Russia done in last 3 decades? Iran has been the only country to directly kill US soldiers in Iraq via Quds force and direct missile strike on US military base.
Last time China butted heads with US was the Korean War. China is even more conservative than Iran in its decision making.
I do not "EXPECT" Iran to answer to Israeli attack against Iran and/or assassinations of its scientists. It is not FOR ME TO EXPECT anything of Iran. We are all theoretically analyzing what we see and know many things we don't see.
I do remember I was working on Toulouse when Israel started killing Iranian scientists last round (4 of them). After the 1st one, my group lead turbine blade (and blisk) engineer (a Brit from RR), if Iran does not answer, Israel will kill again.
After 4 scientists killed, Iran answered with killing the Israeli tourists.
Israel STOPPED.
Then after 8 years, when Israel found Iran weak, it started again.
Israel is no different than British, or Churchill, or any other dictator. They will push their agenda, they will kill and pursue their interests, UNTIL THEY CANNOT.
Iran not responding to Fakhrizadeh has cost Iran. A lot.
Yossi Cohen met with Jared Kushner and MBS and senior U.S. military Generals and a Senior CentCom planner who flew in that morning, in top secret (even Florida signals people did not know), before the assassination.
Now look at from Israeli point of view. They thought Iran may hit an El Al flying just off of Italy, or one of its embassies would get hit. No, instead Iran did a botched job in India.
If you have no DETERENCE, then you have no DETERENCE. Then your enemy knows you have no DETERENCE.
I don't EXPECT anything. Who the hell am I to EXPECT of Iran. I am a nobody.
