Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

On his part, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio claimed "Israel" took “unilateral action against Iran,” warning that Tehran should not target the US in response to the Israeli attack.

“Our top priority is protecting American forces in the region. Israel advised us that they believe this action was necessary for [their] self-defense,” Rubio stated.

“President Trump and the Administration have taken all necessary steps to protect our forces and remain in close contact with our regional partners,” he added.

“Let me be clear: Iran should not target US interests or personnel."

Oh? Word? Cool so it's just between Iran and the zionist entity calling itself 'israel'. So if Iran decides to shoot a bunch of missiles and drones at this entity, US naval forces will not shoot those down or attempt to disrupt their course right? RIGHT? RIGHT?!?! Because that would make you a party to the conflict wouldn't it. Fucking special privilege demanding fucks.

It's US, they can do things like literally invade and occupy a country, or bomb unrelated country with millions of bombs plus WMD, but it's not even officially a war.

It's only a war if you shoot back
