What does the headline mean with "counterattack"? Iran wouldn't have attacked if Israel didn't bomb their consulate in Syria. Why is Israel painted as the victim here?

It should be a crime to still be using that phrase, but in this case it doesn't even make sense. What "stupid prizes" did Israel win? The recent strike in Syria killed a high ranking IRGC general and Iran's retaliatory efforts were mostly intercepted, with the only Israeli casualty as of now is an injured 10 year old girl.
What "stupid prizes" did Israel win?
All their neighbors trying to kill them?
Biden and his senior advisers are highly concerned an Israeli response to Iran's attack on Israel would lead to a regional war with catastrophic consequences, U.S. officials said.
But thats what Israel wants. Thats why they attacked Iran in the first place.
Iran attacked first, not Israel. The Syrian strike was not the first attack.
Please elaborate. Is Hamas now Iran? Are the WCK workers now Iran?
So, US won't help Israel unless Israel could make use of it.
Thanks Biden! You're so much better than trump and not just a puppet to placate the masses.
Would you rather have had him tell Israel the U.S. would assist in an attack on Iran?
Because I guarantee you that Trump would have and I doubt that's actually what you want.
They have to wait for one of their talking heads to tell them what they want.
I just love the idea of someone both being angry at Biden for not attacking Iran while also criticizing Trump, who would have been asking the joint chiefs when he can launch the first nuke by now.
Yeah, actually.
At least then he'd be being honest.
I still wouldn't vote for him, but it would be preferable to lies.
So... he's lying about not attacking Iran? How do you know this?
I wasn't born yesterday.
Do you think the US won't attack Iran if it legitimately threatened Israel?
I can't predict the future like you, sorry. But I'd love to borrow your crystal ball and buy some lottery tickets if you wouldn't mind.
That's okay.
You were just born yesterday :)
You do know this statement was about what is happening right now and not about what might happen if Iran carried out some hypothetical future attack, right?
Why don't you say what you want to say instead of asking roundabout questions?
Lol.
I did say what I wanted to say.
But apparently not what you want me to say.
Ahh, so you're just afraid to stick your neck out and own your stance.
I got it.
What is my own stance according to you?
You tell us.
I can't tell you what my stance is until you let me know what my stance is supposed to be about. Biden? Trump? Israel? Iran? Homelessness? Universal healthcare? Disney Star Wars movies? What?
You're making absolutely no sense whatsoever. You clearly expect me to tell you something, but I honestly have no idea what.
Alright, it's clear you're just looking to argue so I'm going to let you have the last word.
Goodbye.
Asking you to tell me whatever the hell it is you're talking about is arguing with you?
There is something very off with you.
Would you rather have had him tell Israel the U.S. would assist in an attack on Iran?
I'd rather have confidence that he won't assist anyway.
There’s no reason expect escalation at this time. Netanyahu got the IRGC commander and generals he wanted in the reckless embassy attack. Iran responded with last night’s attack on Israel and deemed the response conclusive.
