A question was asked of Iran's UN ambassador yesterday about whether Iran would still attack Israel if there is a ceasefire.

Amir Saeed Irwani, the representative of the Islamic Republic of Iran in the United Nations, on Wednesday local time, in response to questions about Hamas announcing that if they reach a ceasefire, Iran will stop responding to the regime, said: "We have pursued two priorities at the same time; First, the establishment of a permanent ceasefire in Gaza and the withdrawal of the occupiers from this land; Second, punishing the aggressor for the assassination of Martyr Haniyeh, preventing the repetition of terrorist aggression by the Zionist regime and making the Zionists regret entering such a path."
So far Iran has given three reasons for planning to attack Israel.  The first was vengeance, the second was self-defense, and now the UN representative is saying "punishment."

The first and third contradict the second, which is the only reason allowed for an attack under the UN Charter. 

Meanwhile, Iranian media is quoting the Houthi leader explaining why there has not been an attack yet, nine days after the Ismail Haniyeh's timely death.
 Abdul Malik al-Houthi, the leader of Yemen's Ansarullah, said in a speech: "Our definitive response to the Zionist regime's attack on the fuel tanks of Hodeidah port will be carried out."

He added: "The delay in the response of the axis of resistance to the Israeli regime's military tension is only a tactical issue with the aim of responding to the enemy effectively."
The war drums have been beaten slightly less loudly over the past couple of days, from what I can see in Iranian media. It doesn't mean they won't respond, but there appears to be confusion on how, exactly, it should happen without threatening their own interests.
