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.
Wait, did Israel attack Iran? What is "defensive" here?
Violating the Vienna Convention is so hot right now.
Between Equador storming Mexico's to Israel bombing Iran's...
I believe he's referring to the Iranian consulate in Damascus that was targeted and blown up by Israel a few days ago
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.
