Israel Underestimated Iran's Response, Informed US Just Before Deadly Syria Consulate Strike?

The latest escalation of tensions between Israel and Iran is likely an outcome of serious miscalculations by Tel Aviv, as per a US media report. The US, Israel’s closest ally, was caught off guard when it was informed just moments ago about the attack that was going to be launched on Damascus on April 1. US officials were angry that Israel took such an aggressive action against Iran without consulting Washington, as per the New York Times. US officials involved in discussions after the Syria attack said Israel had badly miscalculated, thinking Iran would not react strongly, as per the report. Since the October 7 attack by Iran-backed Hamas, there has been a constant escalation and one miscalculation after another, as per analysts.
