"Iran is often more talk than action, more threat than substance."

"Tehran is undoubtedly obliged to retaliate [for the attack on Iran's consulate in Damascus], but I think it will be of a symbolic nature, avoiding further escalation."

"It's going to be very difficult for Iran not to retaliate [for the attack on Iran's consulate in Demascus]."

The prospect of Iran attacking Israel is "still a viable threat."

"This cowardly crime [the attack on Iran's consulate in Demascus] will not go unanswered."

"We warn that no act by any enemy against our holy system will go unanswered."

"Be certain that Iran's response to the targeting of its Damascus consulate is inevitable."

Iran will attack Israel "sooner than later."

“I will not allow it [a two-state solution]."

Netanyahu's government "doesn't want anything remotely approaching a two-state solution.

"The only thing that Iran and Israel have in common is that neither of them believes in a two-state solution."

"[T]he current conflict is likely to put the last nail in the coffin of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process."

"A two-state solution exists only in theory. In practice, it died long ago."

"The war between Israel and Hamas makes the two-state solution less viable than ever before."

"The two-state solution remains on the table, if only for the lack of any viable alternative."

"If Israel has the will, or capacity, to relocate 200,000 settlers from the West Bank and Jerusalem, a two-state solution is a viable option."

"If international actors can muster enough political will and capital... they could still bring about [a two-state solution]."

“[The two-state solution] is the only solution – there is no realistic competition.”

"Neither Iran nor Lebanese Hezbollah is at all likely to pursue such a course of action [a full-scale attack on Israel]."

"The fighting will remain contained between Israel and Iran, and will not persist for more than a few weeks."

"An all-out war between Israel and Iran is not inevitable, but it remains a serious risk."

"Israel & US manufactured a fake crisis with Iran that could lead to all-out war."

"There will be an all-out war between Israel and Iran and Iran will successfully disrupt flows through Strait of Hormuz."

"This [a wider Israeli war with Iran] is now more likely."

"[T]he Middle East is an inch away from an all-out war between Israel and Iran."

"Starmer might have to go in months."

"I don't think he will survive a year [as prime minister]."

"Of course [he will be prime minister till 2029]."
