Some cool footage of the attack.

Looks like they couldn't intercept all of them.

Sounds like they can and should bankrupt the country honestly.

I know not much about global politics. Could this be cheeky ww3? Or is this sort of thing pretty common?

What israel did, attacking the consulate of iran inside Síria is really really fucked up. Iran played it cool and did this attack today, wich you could consider a very light response because attacking an embassy is casus belli (reason for war). But the usa will turn this into ww3 sooner or later, theres no doubt about it

Iran has no moral high ground regarding attacking embassies. Come on, this is not a good/bad situation, it’s two shitheads slap fighting.

Likely just a common tit for tat attack in retaliation for the Israelis bombing the Iranian embassy in Syria

Here’s a past example

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

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.

Technically, it was a consulate attached and right next door to an embassy. But yeah.
