Daily Mail: Iran rejects 'impudent' calls from West to stand down threat to attack Israel as IDF approves multi-front battle plan to retaliate against Tehran and Hezbollah
"Edmund Fitton-Brown, Senior Advisor to the Counter Extremism Project and former Ambassador of the UK to Yemen, told MailOnline this evening 'it could all very easily spiral out of control'.
'In essence, I think Iran and Israel would both prefer to avoid escalation out of control,' he said.
'But Iran (and Hezbollah) both want to be seen to respond to the Israeli assassinations.
'Calibrating such responses in such a way as to save face and yet avoid escalation gets more difficult with each successive round of skirmishing.
'The US is also part of this picture, seeking both to restrain Israel and to deter Iran,' he said."

Enduring Music: Compositions from the Holocaust
Marking International Holocaust Remembrance Day, the Counter Extremism Project's ARCHER at House 88 presents a landmark concert of music composed in ghettos and death camps, performed in defiance of resurgent antisemitism. Curated with world renowned composer, conductor, and musicologist Francesco Lotoro, the program restores classical, folk, and popular works, many written on scraps of paper or recalled from memory, to public consciousness. Featuring world and U.S. premieres from Lotoro's archive, this concert honors a repertoire that endured against unimaginable evil.
