It's crazy how short libs attention spans are. The embassy was bombed less than a week ago and they're acting like Iran is doing this out of the blue. I've seen enough videos and pictures of dead or maimed kids. I have as much pity for the average Israeli as I do for fucking Hitler.
bombing an embassy is a declaration of war
We need a sort of denazification for Israel at this point, settler-colonial ideology is so engrained that much of the civilian population needs reeducation. Heartbreaking as much as infuriating.

PREACH
Expected. Iran didn't respond right away to the Israeli attacks, but instead wanted to get Biden to deescalate and get Israel to stop being so insane. Biden refused and here we are.
Biden's strategy has been to beg Iran to not take the bait because they're more reasonable but he's not going to tell Israel to stop because he's chicken shit. So this is going to slowly escalate for a while.
with the info we have it looks real enough. hopefully they don't start carpet bombing cause im gonna be dead otherwise, but it's israel we're talking about they have zero fucks to give. more imminently right now supplies are probably gonna run out since people are panicking. i can only hope for the best.
Much love to you and hope you and your family/friends remain safe.
thanks, the previous generations went through a decade of war it's time to use their experience. one can only be hopeful things work out although i guess it's too late for that.
Hold fast, comrade.
Wishing you and your family the best, comrade
Israel has now been effectively attacked, iirc, by Palestinian forces, Hamas, Ansarallah, and now maybe Iran. The al-Aqsa Flood broke their sense of invulnerability, and I imagine that finding out that so many of their adversaries can actually hit them at home hasn't been good for their sanity.
I wish the world wasn't like this.
They've also been trading fire with Hezbollah at a constant simmer this entire time.
Never been more proud to be Iranian!
I hope you and your family will be safe from the wild flailings of the Israeli death machine comrade.
Hopefully, this is the only response. I can't stand the people cheering for this or wanting further escalation. Millions will die.
Tens of thousands have died, and Israel has to be defeated.
Yea, us Iranians are strong, we have not lost a war and many are celebrating in the streets right now. We fully stand behind our government retaliating after years of wanton attacks on our scientists and leaders. Fuck Israel, fuck the west.
Israel attacked Iran and Iran responded. Let's keep the story straight
Israel could have averted this retaliation had they stopped their genocide in Gaza, Iran gave them that option.
This clearly proves the zionist regime cares more about murdering innocent Palestinians than it does the safety of their own citizens.
They could have averted this strike by not blowing up an Iranian consulate, a clear act of war under international law.
And the same goes for the continued support of its allies like the US, Europe, and UK who are now flying jets to have to intercept Iranian missiles and could get dragged into a far bigger regional war depending on thr Israeli/US response.
They've had months and months and months to back off, to stop support, to force Israeli restraint, or even just to recognise and not oppose international law. Instead they continually doubled down on supporting and facilitating the genocide while cheering and enacting increasingly fascist crackdowns on dissent at home.
They ignored their own populations, their own political considerations, their signatures to treaties and international law, even their own geopolitical goals to stand unified and unblinking in support of genocide, Islamophobia, and white supremacy. They had a thousand chances and still couldn't help themselves.
It is really hard not to feel like we are witnessing another world war unfolding in real time. It is all so much.
Support for Israel has been dropping, but it's hard for me to imagine that Amerikkka and the average Amerikkkan citizen won't be 100% back on Israel's side if things are escalated by someone other than Israel. The Biden administration made a lot of bad moves, got a lot of people killed and hurt his own reelection chances pretty bad. I just don't know what he thinks he's been doing.
UK, EU have already condemned Iran as far as I can see.
Condemned Iran for a retaliatory attack. As if Israel wasn’t the aggressor here
The anglo hwhites sticking up for their pet colonial project in middle east as usual.
At this point, who fucking cares? The west is evil and western states will always side with the ones killing brown people. Ignore their condemnation, ignore their hypocritical whining, stand up to the evil. I pray Iran destroys them.
Can't wait to see liberals' blatant double standard. Israel can attack and murder people from surrounding states freely, but when one of its victims defends itself, it suddenly becomes aggression.
TL;DR: About fucking time.
Shithole US and it's shithole vassal state
I bet they're gonna target the spice fields and the corpse cum depots
Israel supporters in worldnews were disappointed by this news. They claim the drones will be shot down by the Iron Dome and other defence systems + the response is too little to warrant US action. Who knows if any of that is true. But again, they were disappointed that Iran showed fucking restraint and hasn't (so far) escalated to the level of regional war.
Like...who knows what happens 24 hours from now. Maybe Iran launches more stuff. Or Israel responds disproportionately. Or US says "fuck it, this is enough" and does something on behalf of Israel anyways. But at this very moment, it doesn't look like full-blown war, for which I can only thank god.
They claim the drones will be shot down by the Iron Dome and other defence systems
didn't the basement contraptions Hamas has that are called rockets get through the Iron Dome anyway or am I misremembering things
yeah, Iron Dome's success rate is iffy at best, and apparently it's mostly effective against ballistic rockets and mortars that follow a predictable trajectory.
What a fucking wild trip their mega is
- So mad they can't cancel Has an Piker
- Sane comments hidden by down votes: 1 2
- "BlatantConservative" fear mongers that this will be a staggered coordinated strike
- the most baby brained liberal take imaginable
Oh my god those last two were real shot+chaser combo. I can't get over how fucking ignorant it is.
Half of the US supports Russia, wouldn't be surprised if they start supporting Iran now too.
(They arent talking about me)
Update: BlatantConservative was correct.
pretty cool footage here of iron dome failing to stop the Iranian attack https://x.com/revolutionaryem/status/1779336513274405047
One thing I wonder is how many Israelis are just going to move out, back to the United States or Europe because of this. A lot of them are capable of doing so.
Almost like they dont belong to this land or something
You could update the link to this article.

[Edit - things are far worse than first reports said.]
nothing to say but i hope they win for good. israel should not exist and they've made it clear what it'll take to make that happen.
