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.
Revenge for revenge for revenge, oh my!
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?
Be the bigger human and stop the violence is what I would expect.
So continue to get walked all over. Makes sense. Israel has been illegally hitting Iranian targets in Syria for years and years, Israel had the US assassinate Soleimani, yet Iran never responded in kind. But bombing and embassy was an obvious last straw.
Israel didn’t do shit to make us kill Soleimani. Soleimani was literally meeting with someone who we blamed for an attack on the US embassy in Iraq. He was the other person killed in the strike. Iran knew they fucked up there, which is why their response was throwing a fairly ineffective barrage at a military base and then shooting down their own civilian airliner.
Known liar claims someone else was going to help him do something bad after getting in trouble for it.
Well, Israel is gonna hit back. So, where does it end, since you seem to think my idea is bad.
))<>((
Blame Israel then.
Iran is not innocent either. The people of Gaza are getting the short end of the stick.
Iran did just that. Israel spit on their faces. Now they get what they deserve.
Well, Iran was providing weapons to various groups that were fighting Israel. The target Israel hit was a military target that supposedly was a meeting of high ranking personnel from various groups. Iran’s involvement is typically indirect and involves support through these proxies rather than direct confrontation. This strategy allows Iran to confront Israeli interests without engaging in open warfare.
Again, I don’t think any country should be fighting or providing military aid to fight indirectly (this includes the US providing weapons to Israel). The world is a terrible place and we should be focusing on making it better, not having petty squabbles over land.
Then you should campaign for the extinction of Israel, as the zionist state does nothing but cause suffering.
Are you suggesting genocide?
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.
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.
I can already see the headlines, “Iran targets hospitals, monsters!!!”
Takes rage baiting to a whole new extreme 🙃
Israel has killed more civilians in the past six months than the rest of the world has in like 5 years. Absolutely ignorant to say “targeting civilians” is bad and not point that out.
Iran targeted Israeli military facilities, not civilians.
Did I say otherwise?
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.
Simple question, is it easier to catch a baseball or a locomotive.
Ed: also not to be pedantic but both are fired from another country.
This is just more tankie bullshit. Russia and Iran have been getting buddy-buddy like crazy, especially right before the whole Hamas attack on Israel thing in fall last year. And of course, Iran feeds Hamas war materiel.
Russia is trying to make a war on multiple fronts to exhaust the US and make Biden unpopular while also running a campaign on social media to make Biden look bad and interfere with the 2024 election.
In other words, Russia REALLY wants Trump to win so they can end their expensive and punishing war in Ukraine and come out looking like they won something. Also, trump has made it clear that Israel would get free rein to “finish the problem.”
Yeah israel committing Genocide and bombing the Iranian consulate is actually Putins masterplan to make Trump win.
Libs reaching QAnon levels of cope. Vote for God Emperor Biden everyone! He was forced into supporting Genocide!

Your reply has nothing relevant. “You are right Biden does Genocide but somehow this is Trumps fault and that’s all Putins masterplan”.
Just accept that there is no difference between the Republicunts and Genocrats. When both are supporting literal Genocide it must require severe mental gymnastics to keep believing in that fairy tale of American democracy.

- These aide workers are actually Hamas
- Hamas is actually Iran
- Iran is actually Russia
This is so disconnected from reality. The most obvious flaw is the blatant fact that nobody loves Trump and wants Trump to win more than Netanyahu. Israel is a chud-nation.
vigerously starts watching the Amazon Fallout series
I just finished the first episode. If nukes start flying before I finish the series, I will be very annoyed.
Me too! Pretty good episode. At least they had a good budget to replicate the world. It’s very promising…assuming we all survive.
I’m on episode 7.
You can do it! It will at least help if you become a Ghoul.
When a fictional series becomes a documentary.
I’m already at the 5th training video. Waiting to see if I get a certification at the end
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.
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
Israel intentionally caused this, not Iran.
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.
Are you really so naive to think that blowing up another country’s embassy on another country’s sovereign soil is all hunky dory because “muh terrorism”? Embassies are civilian objects. To not expect retaliation for such a thing is incredibly stupid. Israel knew what it was doing.
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.
To say Iran ordered Hamas to attack on October 8th is to show how much of an ignoramus you are.
Russia and Iran met to coordinate weeks before the attack. Hamas then executed an attack plan they had been holding back on for 2 years.
It wasn’t a coincidence and acting like it was is idiotic. But you’re welcome to follow the crowd here and put your head in the sand.
Israel is trying to widen the war. The Iranian response fairly tame and measured as usual. Like when we illegally killed their general in Iraq and they casually hit our bases there.
They’ll go after nuclear facilities
Iran going to get its ass kicked.
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
Who’s committing genocide in Iran? Are they killing off Kurds again?
Who’s trying to conquer Iran?
Who’s bombing civilians in Iran?
How dare the Iranians care about Palestinians lives.
And yet you support Iran bombing Israel.
Did Iran do any of those 3 in it’s retaliation strikes? No.
Right now Israel is doing all 3 of those however.
We have no idea what Iran was actually aiming at. So far they only managed to kill some people in Jordan and a Bedouin child in Israel.
Am Jordanian, nobody died here. I’m going to assume that the Bedouin child is also a lie.
Cut it out with the misinformation.
The US already said they were aiming for military targets, and nobody is reporting any deaths from these strikes that I have seen to date.
What we have seen is Israel commit genocide, a war of conquest, and bombing civilians.
But you support Hamas who openly want to kill every Jew in the middle east.
I feel like you’re trying to play a game called “who has more blood on their hands,” and believe that game has a winner.
The only winning move is not to play.
israel doesn’t stop playing.
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.
Even in that very long list of European crimes in history, Sykes-Picot really outshines the rest in how big of a fuckup it was.
This has very little to do with the colonial borders drawn by the British and French almost 100 years ago. Rather it’s animosity due to more recent events. In this case, Israel’s betray of the Iranian people right before the revolution of 1979.
A more militarily active Iran is never a good thing.
Big influx of Hasbara bots here today
Ngl, I read Hasbro
The US House will vote on Israeli aid next week because of all this. Hopefully it’ll include Ukrainian and humanitarian aid.
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.
If you are trying to be sarcastic, I don’t think you succeeded.
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”.
Iran and Israel don’t answer to Biden.
