Scoop: Treasury to green-light new Iran sanctions after Israel attack

Great job, give Iran less reasons to respond to provocation in a measured manner with forewarning. If you’re going to punish them anyway don’t be mad when they decide to earn the punishment.

Yes, absolutely. Let’s do everything we can to make the average Iranian people hate us more than ever while doing absolutely nothing to hurt their leaders. For an attack visited upon them first by one of our allies because that makes total sense. /s. This kind of shit makes me sorry to be a US citizen.

Sanctioning israel? Nah lets sanction the people defending themselves.

Thanks Biden.

I wouldn’t go so far as to say they were defending themselves, but they certainly earned the right to a retaliatory strike. Whether the obvious ineffectiveness of their strike was a bug or a feature is up for debate. I, personally, think they knew what they were doing.

As for the sanctions, from US politics, there are a few countries who can never do anything correct, e. g., Iran, Cuba. And one that can do no wrong, e. g., Israel. It’s asinine, but that’s how it is.

Iran telegraphed their attack very openly it’s not likely they intended to do heavy damage. Rather cost a lot of money in projectile interception.

This is defense by Iran. If they don’t show that israel can’t blatantly bomb anything they like and kill top level Generals, israel will keep doing it. The bully won’t stop until the bullied fights back.

Also their targets were the israeli military airports that housed the F35s and F16s for the bombings.
