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.
I think they’re referring to the 1953 coup that the CIA was definitely involved with, but I’m not too sure how involved the US was in the 1979 revolution. The US probably didn’t have much influence in that one considering how long the Iran hostage crisis lasted.
Some cool footage of the attack.
Looks like they couldn't intercept all of them.
Looks both terrifying and beautiful
Cool video thanks for linking it.
Looks like taxpayers are footing a nice bill again
They sent drones? From Iran?
Si. We’re about to see how the iron dome stands against it. Maybe Iran has figured out a way to bypass Israeli defences…
Unlikely, we’ve seen Iranian drones in action in Ukraine and they’re not particularly special. I bet Israel shoots them all down.
I see someone’s never played StarCraft. Zerg rush is absolutely a viable strategy. How many rockets are loaded and ready to go in one area at any given time?
Probably not. It’s one of if not the most sophisticated air-defense on the planet. Without overwhelming it, attacks have little chance of any significant successes.
Just look at Ukraine, most attacks never reach their target and they are probably not equipped as well as Israel is (and also spread out much further). Even Russia’s “hypersonic” missiles are shot down by plain ol’ patriot systems on the regular.
So unless Iran pulls out some really fancy tricks, they will probably just hit low-value targets or maybe manage to overwhelm the defense in some limited areas (at the cost of a lot of drones). If this was to drag on however, it’ll start to hurt eventually…
Fucking hell
Yeah not great
Hours away? Interesting measurement.
*Iran have joined the game
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
Likely just a common tit for tat attack in retaliation for the Israelis bombing the Iranian embassy in Syria
