Dope: Bear in mind that both the Israelis AND the US Government have to say the mealy-mouthed stuff. If they come out and say, "Yeah, Iran did it" then that's tantamount to declaring to both the US and Israeli publics that the Iranians are involved in an act of war in Israel that resulted in the murder of American citizens. If that step is taken, there's only one response.
No, that's not how to think of it. Firstly, when Blinken was asked he responded that Iran likely helped with it, given their history of being involved with Hamas and hostility to Israel, but there was nothing solid pointing to Iran and they were looking for that. This is a normal response - it isn't mealy mouthed at all, it's prudent. I know in Dope world you can go off on little, but we want our Presidents and Secretaries of State to be prudent - we are a world power after all. As for your Federalist hit piece - it's just that, a hit piece.
