Am I the only one who thinks Israel should not act with such an impunity and he’ll they don’t seem to be trying to de-escalate anything and are trying to trigger a large scale war in the region.
If a consulate has similar status to an embassy, I’m guessing not. At that point they would be signing off on a direct bombing of Iranian soil, which is what they’ve been whisking around the Middle East trying to avoid.
It’s worth noting that this was apparently a consulate attached to an embassy, and the embassy next door was not targeted. That might be the technicality that’s covering their ass, but it’s unbelievably close to the line if so.
The US giving Israel a bunch of military equipment (including nearing the sale of 50(!) F-15s) a few days before what appears to be an intentional provocation of a regional enemy to the US is something a little bit too on the nose.
Even if it’s not the US helping these plans along, they certainly would love an opportunity for Israel to act as a proxy against the Iranian govt that they’ve been trying to justify war against for over a decade now.
This is a little bit silly, that pretty clearly was a mistake, it also led to new ROE regarding the safety cordon around approved targets. Additionally Serbia was a combatant nation, that’s why embassies often evacuate nations involved in hostilities. Israel routinely attacks 3rd country targets, they struck with multiple weapons. Syria and Iraq are not parties to the current situation in Gaza. The idea that countries with governments or general population that are not in favour of the IDF massacre of civilians means almost every country is “involved” according to Israeli targeting doctrine.
