IRGC-linked platforms insist that Tehran is “responding in kind.” However, if the United States expands its attacks, they argue, Iran will impose comparable costs across the regional military architecture supporting those operations. The repeated use of expressions such as “for now” suggests that the current level of response is a political choice, not the limit of Iran’s capabilities. In other words, restraint is being presented as conditional and reversible.
