JERUSALEM, Israel — Israel is awoke Saturday morning to peace and quiet, wondering whether a much-touted Iran ian attack will actually happen, or whether it was just a bluff.

World powers, aware that the confrontation could escalate into a major war, have warned Iran not to attack. Iran might also have its own reasons for refraining. Iran has been exporting war for decades, but has not had to face an attack on its own soil since the Iran-Iraq war of the 1980s. Israel could also use Iran’s recent threats as a legitimate reason to deploy its full strength against the regime. If that happens, the regime’s domestic opponents could rise up.
