Why has Iran waited this long to attack Israel for Haniyeh’s death? | What’s Iran’s game plan?

Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was killed in Tehran on July 31st on Iranian soil and Iran vowed revenge against Israel within hours of the killing. The Supreme leader of Iran said “it is our duty to take revenge.”
But two weeks have passed and no large-scale Iranian response has been seen.
Iranian officials have said that a promised retaliatory strike could be delayed to allow ceasefire talks to progress.
Does Iran gain more from the build-up to the strike than what it may lose after the attack?
What’s Iran waiting for?
On this episode of Game Plan, Shivan Chanana discusses the possibilities, with Elijah J. Magnier, War Correspondent & Analyst with over three decades of experience in West Asia,

In the game of power, STRATEGY is the sword, and the PATIENCE is the shield.🛡️🛡️🛡️

[prihnt]

Because iran knows that its easy to start a war but ending it is a different aspect altogether...

[trumpdrago]

It’s funny, people actually WANT WWIII

[salehsammani]

Waiting for the punishment is more painful that the punishment itself

[felixcato]

It’s cost Israel and the US $65 million a day. Money the US could use to help the high number homeless. The US is starting to look like India with two class of people, the extremely rich and extremely poor.

[besto]

The delay is actually more effective than the awaited retaliation.

Israel is unsettled and it's prime minister's future is uncertain.

Iran must keep delaying the retaliation and wait for the perfect time.

[iqbalmohammed]

the cost of preparedness, having troops, ally forces and emergency services etc is astronomical, iran making the jews and their backers on constant alert of an imminent attack is probably more costly and damaging than the attack itself and it gives their proxies and their negotiators leverage and psychological advantage allowing them to probe pound and negotiate whilst big brother surveys the developments

[distantquasar]

When you was a child and you did something wrong what was worse, waiting to get a beating or the beating itself?

[krishnanramanathan]

Many said, "This waiting also big punishment to Israel by Iran". Every night people of Israel couldn't sleep because Iran created fear of starting of war.

2 weeks from US intelligence.
Did iran give you a date?
Iran never gave a date

[songasalimsaleh]

*This is question of what is Iran waiting for very wrong!*
*World 🌎🌍 needs peace 🙏🕊️, lets stop 🛑 asking HAWKISH stupid questions!*

[hayronaplal]

The military's mission is not to announce when to attack.

[rahmy]

This Guest was 1000% legit and knows what he is talking bout god bless him not being a puppet guest siding with terror state of Israel

[MD-putl]

What a question . They do not want to be annihilated by the USA

[salehsammani]

Highest respect to the free Irish soul of Mr. Magnier

[shahriarjay]

“Sobdue an enemy without fighting.” This means that Iran possesses the mysterious capabilities to use. However, that enemy is afraid of the risk of the consequences. Iran has chosen peaceful and political negotiation alternatives rather than “pushing the buttons.” So far.

[kenrik]

Iran doesn’t want a regional conflict or to give US a reason to directly intervene. A measured response will occur when Iran is ready.

[unjumahanif]

We need more talk communication and conciliation and less aggression quick reaction and selfishness. Bring all countries to the table ( for negotiations) they all need a time out!

[pennilessjester]

If you were really on the cusp of having a nuke would you risk it all now?

[mikeyankofsky]

Iran is waiting for the Americans to elect a Warhawk (Kamala) before they attack. 😂
