Sorry, but Iran is not the aggressor here

On Saturday, April 13, Iran launched hundreds of drones and missiles at Israel in retaliation for a deadly Israeli strike on the Iranian consulate in Damascus, Syria, that took place on April 1. ****

The vast majority of the projectiles were intercepted by Israel’s air defence system, with assistance from the ever-helpful United States military, and damage was minimal. Having completed its retaliation, Iran has now declared that the matter can “be deemed concluded” – although Israel is not usually one to let anyone else have the last word.

    lol. This is not news but simply an oppinion of the editor in favor of a terrorist state…

    FMT99,

    I mean no one is saying Iran is the good guy here but Israel bombing embassies on foreign soil feels a best a bit terrorism-adjacent?

    have you read the “article”? Everybody else and their mother in the west is the bad guy and not a single word about how fucked up Iran’s actions are. I mean what the actual fuck…

    Nation states are by their very definition all terrorist states. Some are more murderous than others, but none of them are the good guys.

    NoneOfUrBusiness,

    What fucked up action did Iran commit here? They were responding to an attack that in another situation would be taken as a declaration of war.

    DaDragon,

    I mean the article is clearly more of an opinion piece.

    And I think in this specific instance, I don’t think Iran’s actions can be called fucked up. The Israelis breach several foreign treaties and bombed an embassy in a. Foreign country. That is unacceptable, no matter who you are. The fact that Iran responded in the lightest way possible (300 flying projectiles is a number that is fairly defendable against), shows, if anything, that Iran doesn’t want to get things out of control right now.

    We in the west certainly do whine a lot when other countries do things we don’t like, but when our allies engage in the same, we turn a blind eye to it. None of that is a lie.

    Are Iran’s actions in the last 50 years with reference to Israel inexcusable? I’d say so. Sponsoring international terrorism is questionable at best. But regardless, their response to this particular incident is, if anything, very restrained. I can only hope things stay that way.
