— NOTE: I am skeptical about these reports, but even if true, the final decision lies with the Supreme Leader, Imam Khamenei.

As of now, retaliation is certain, and the Supreme Leader is not swayed by the President's efforts.

— NOTE (2): The Supreme National Security Council consists almost entirely of people appointed during President Raisi's administration. Pezeshkian's influence can be considered negligible. He can try to influence, but he won't get far. The entire SNSC consists mostly of hardliners.

— As mentioned above; to me, it looks like the launch canisters for a supersonic anti-ship cruise missile, possibly able to avoid detection as claimed by some sources.

Look at Kh-31 (AS-17 'Krypton'), which is an air-to-surface supersonic anti-ship missile. Due to Iran's lack of air force, we might have created a canister-launched missile.
