According to Israeli media the US has told Israel that they do not believe they would be successful in countering Iran’s retaliation like they did in April. The reason being it’s going to be a coordinated strike from the Axis of Resistance which will involve thousands of missiles and drones. And that the operation would last several days. The US and its allies don’t have assets to counter something like this. We are about to find out why so many people for years have predicted. Israel be an albatross for the US and dragging it into a costly war it’s not ready for.

Do you have a source?
Additionally, the IAF has increased its readiness.
If confirmed, these have been very bad days for Iran. Furthermore, if they really attack Israel, it would be better to take security measures for political authorities, because the chances of retaliation are enormous and assassinating a high-ranking Iranian politician inside Iran would be another step in the escalation and a tremendous humiliation for Iran.
Something to look out for now would be if US backed SDF "release" or give amnesty to ISIS "captives" in Syria, possibly using Turkish aggression as an excuse or maybe some other excuse.
French patrol aircraft over Israel
Reports of German, French, US, and UK aircraft all around this area.
No unusual alternation in commercial flight routes over and around Iran.

These people are really dumb. If they do massively attack Iran they will only speed up its long distance missile and nuclear weapons program. The fact is North Korea and Iran have deep ties between their MIC. So you can bet if necessary any weapon which North Korea has Iran could buy from them as well.

You brought up a lot of strawman to fit your narrative .. this is not about 'missing any points'... this is about reality. And yes in the real world, emotions and anger even at the highest levels is very present and very real.
Also Iran is NOT the US or China or Russia. Inspite of what you think, Iran is not invincible nor does it have anywhere close to the power and military capabilities of the US or even Israel.
As such they need to tailor their response very carefully.
And such a response would usually commensurate with the level of destruction the offending party caused.
You can believe whatever you want however I'll stick with me assertion that had the assassination been carried out with large scale bombardment with a lot of human and material damages the response would be quite different than with a very limited surgical strike with almost no colletetal damage.
The fact that it happened on the inauguration of it's leader does plays a role BUT it's impact is insignificant compared to the level of destruction or damages of the strike itself or in this case luckily the lack thereof.
