Iran ‘trying to regain deterrence’: Analyst

Qatar University's Hassan Barari has told Al Jazeera that Iran's attack on Israel “is an escalation” but is also “calculated” and “measured”.

Barari said Iran's mission to the UN's statement that the attack “concludes” the matter of Israel's attack on Iran's Damascus Embassy shows Iran “doesn't want any further retaliation”.

“What the Iranians are trying to do is to come up with a measured, calculated attack in order to regain deterrence and not to be seen as weak in front of their own proxies,” Barari said.

Meanwhile, Al Jazeera's Dorsa Jabbari joins live from Tehran.
