I genuinely don't know why people assume this is Iran's 'retaliation'.

Israeli-linked ships have been seized by the IRGC multiple times over the past few years, this is clearly not the anticipated response, it is really nothing new at all.

I'm not saying Iran is going to launch a gorillion missiles at Israel, but there will certainly be a proportional response, and it won't be the seizure of a ship.

If you have let yourself get hyped up by the US media in the past few days, then you must know that their psyop was successful on you, and that you are very naive and impressionsble. The response will come, only Iran knows when.
