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.

Wait, did Israel attack Iran? What is “defensive” here?

Israel has attacked 4 different countries in it’s ‘war against hamas.’ It’s attacked, Syria, Lebanon, Iran and Palestine. They’re aggressively trying to escalate.

I believe he’s referring to the Iranian consulate in Damascus that was targeted and blown up by Israel a few days ago

Hopefully this retaliation will be enough to scare Israel straight. However, I am concerned that it will lead further escalation and greater US involvement…

It won’t. Unfortunately this is not even a propportional response. I highly doubt attack on Gaza will be reduced, and I only hope Israel won’t use this as pretext to attack Iran even more.

USA should keep there feets and hands down on this one. This isn’t an affair that need their involvement.

They are already shooting down drones so no chance of that.

We could easily have spent enough to pay tuition for every engineering student in the US for the year this evening.

I hope Israel does not use this as pretext for escalation. Wouldn’t be surprising if the genocidal state pursues this.

They sent drones? From Iran?

Some cool footage of the attack.
Looks like they couldn't intercept all of them.

Looks both terrifying and beautiful

Hours away? Interesting measurement.
- macniel ( @DmMacniel@feddit.de ) 4•7 months ago
That measure was probably used to show the reader how much time Israel has to respond and or retaliate.

Or until they’ll have an update on what happened/happens.

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
