Inb4 lemmy supports Iran
Supporting either side in this idiotic war over religion is stupid. That said, I don’t know what anyone expected Iran to do after Israel bombed their embassy.
Personally I think Iran kinda spoiled ever getting to complain about foul play involving foreign embassies, what I’m more interested in here is how far the US is gonna go in retaliation, because obviously they’re gonna do something here, I’m just wondering how much it’ll be and in what form.
Personally if I was making the call, I’d sweep the IDF out of Gaza altogether and relegate them to “defensive line duty”, or more accurately “DON’T YOU FUCKING DARE TOUCH ANYTHING YOU GENOCIDAL MORONS.”, and then kill two birds with an army of drones, Iran just invited destruction onto all of their war material production shit and Russia is probably shitting bricks that their entire reserve strategy just got exposed to causus belli.
Russia is gleefully rubbing their hands because they know the US public can literally only keep one thought in their heads at once and this grantees political apathy towards the Russian invasion.
Maybe not though. Russia needs all the drones they can get from Iran. Israel making Iran focus on them negates part of the supply support Russia requires for Ukraine.
What exactly would you suggest a country does after another country bombs their embassy? Send flowers and say pretty please don’t do it again uWu?
What was Israel’s rationale for bombing Iran’s embassy in Syria and killing 12 Iranians? Revenge for what?
Preface: I have no favorite in that conflict, I’m just answering your question. They’re all being children imo.
On the broader topic, Iran’s significant support for Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza, both of which are considered major security threats by Israel, has been a central factor driving Israeli military actions. Iran supplies these groups with financial aid, weapons, and training, enhancing their capabilities against Israel.
Regarding the specific target in Syria, I assume this Israel’s attempt to prevent Iran from gaining a strategic position to launch attacks against Israel.
There have been conflicts in this region for a very long time. They are pretty much always at war.
You can just support international law, you don’t have to choose between Israel and Iran. Embassies are considered soverign soil of the nation they represent and so bombing an embassy is a direct attack on another country. When Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022 they got sanctioned by the international community. There are plenty of other examples in recent history of consequences for aggression. The only question is why is Israel exempt from consequences that apply to other countries? That’s what this false dichotomy (Israel vs. Iran/Hamas/Hezbollah etc.) is trying to mask- instead of asking why Israel is exempt from legal consequences it changes the dialogue to “if you don’t support Israel then you support terrorism” and thereby nullifies international law since the law is applied selectively.
I’m glad Biden’s saber rattling, instead of attempting de-escalation when it was hand out on a silver platter was effective!
No one could have seen that coming though, obviously.
And yet… Not two days ago I was here telling people that Biden’s saber rattling was fucking stupid and was met with “no it’s gonna be effective to stop Iran retaliating against an illegal attack on its embassy”.
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.
Comedy gold right here. You couldn’t be more biased or more wrong if you tried.
I am biased against genocide, wars of conquest, and bombing civilians. You got me
But you support Hamas who openly want to kill every Jew in the middle east.
Who’s committing genocide in Iran? Are they killing off Kurds again?
Who’s trying to conquer Iran?
Who’s bombing civilians in Iran?
You’re supporting widening the war. You’re supporting more suffering and death. There is no genocide against Iran. Iran is stirring up trouble, widening the war, involving more and more people. That’s bad
Iran intentionally caused all of this when they had Hamas attack in October. The whole point of Hamas starting shit was to derail peace talks between Israel and the Saudis. With one of the main focus areas being an official Palestinian state.
Israel blew up a compound where the IRGC was training Hezbollah. Go look up who died in the attack, no one’s refuting that bit of data. Hezbollah’s been in open conflict with Israel for months now.
I guess this is the next chapter in the endless middle-east war. The British & French got exactly what they wanted when they drew up those borders. It’s truly tragic how many people are going to die in the next decade because of religious and nationalistic despots and their egos.
Let me just say fuck anyone who targets civilians.
Yes fuck Israel indeed.
The Biden administration expects Iran will also launch dozens of cruise missiles and ballistic missiles targeting Israeli government sites, not civilians or religious sites, a U.S. official said.
Let’s see how many of those are “good shots.” And not “accidentally schools and hospitals”
Although, the irony would palpable.
And Israel got 99% of what was launched, is it not suspicious they suck at intercepting diy dumb rockets but somehow get near perfect intercepts on higher tech guided munitions?
The Iran launches were a country away. So a lot more time to target, the diy stuff is coming from a lot closer so less time to prep. They can hit the stuff coming out of Lebanon pretty accurately too.
