I support Iran’s defensive actions against Israeli aggression. I hope Iran chooses military and intelligence targets instead of civilian ones, in compliance with international law, despite Israel targeting primarily civilians in their war of conquest.
Well said. Lawful engagement is the only way if anyone is going to hold that kind of power. American hegemony has proven itself thoroughly hypocritical, time and time again. It’s attack dog in the middle east is holding the leash. Rule of law must reign - but never forget its our collective responsibility to write and uphold just laws for the collective.
Isn’t that the US’s fault though? Didn’t they help overthrow the previous government in Iran for the current one? Not say that makes Iran a good place, just that this is all because of the US.
No that’s not the case. The US actually was a big fan of the pre-Khomeiny government in Iran. Of course Trump did make things worse by tearing up the Iran-nuclear deal.
Hopefully this retaliation will be enough to scare Israel straight. However, I am concerned that it will lead further escalation and greater US involvement…
Maybe they shouldn’t bomb Iran if they don’t want them to strike back?
Like I want all of this conflict to end, but Israel just bombed Iran’s consulate in Syria, killing 2 generals and 5 officers. What did they think is gonna happen when they do that? Do they expect a country to just say “oh no don’t do it again please.”?
If it was US generals and officers the US would have went ape shit about it in response
Israel was striking their consulate in response to rockets that were fired at them, but the detail that people miss is that the rockets fired was in response to Israel previously striking them as well.
As another commenter said, Iran has the right to defend itself. If Israel wants Iran to stop attacking them, maybe they should try not attacking Iran?
(If this came off as sarcastic or combative it wasn’t intended, just trying to say how I see the situation between Iran and Israel but I suck at formatting)
Iran went to UNSC and asked for Israeli attack on their embassy to be condemned, and they stated there would be no response if that happened. Thanks to the burger empire UNSC failed to condemn Israeli attack. Claiming that this is Iran escalating is the height of dishonesty.
Why can’t western press call an embassy an embassy? WTF is an 'iranian diplomatic building ’
They blew up an embassy. Sovereign soil, and an act of war. Israel wants this war to widen.
Because that wouldn’t be true, but I don’t think you care much about being rigorously truthful.
USA should keep there feets and hands down on this one. This isn’t an affair that need their involvement.
There’s an argument that the Moscow wing of the Republican Party has emboldened countries like Iran due to its lack of support for Ukraine. Just because the US might not get involved, it doesn’t mean its adversaries will also sit this one out.
I think countries like Israel and the US enacting and enabling a genocide and constantly bombing countries in the middle east has “emboldened countries like Iran” (hmm, I wonder what you meant with that phrasing…). Israel just struck an Iranian embassy last week, and this is retaliation.
“There’s an argument” you have no idea what you’re talking about.
I hope Israel does not use this as pretext for escalation. Wouldn’t be surprising if the genocidal state pursues this.
let’s be real, the genocide would have continued regardless of the attack, this fued has been going for years this attack is a drop in the bucket really. It’s only going to be used an an excuse for international support at this point but, eventually I expect international support will waiver
