Benjamin Netanyahu is seeking to trap the west into a total war across the Middle East that would have incalculable consequences for the region and the world, Iran’s top diplomat in the UK has claimed, in his first interview since Tehran launched an unprecedented missile and drone attack against Israel at the weekend.
Seyed Mehdi Hosseini Matin also warned that if Israel made “another mistake” by launching an attack on Iran, there would be a response from Iran that was stronger, more severe, and administered without a warning like that issued before the weekend attack.
The salvo of more than 300 drones and missiles – almost all of which were intercepted by Israel and its allies or fell short of their targets – came in retaliation for a 1 April airstrike on the Iranian consulate in Damascus, Syria, that killed several Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guards officers. Israel’s top general, Lt Gen Herzi Halevi, has said the country would respond, but it remains unclear what form that would take.
Yeah Iran should just keep getting hit by the bully (having top military generals get assasinated in consulates) without hitting back!
Always remember, if the bullied kid fights back, two parties are at fault!

Would have been great if America didn’t overthrow Iran’s Democratic government in 1953 to steal their oil and helped do it again in 1979

They should just never ever fight back against the bullies! We should just keep saying “it’s bad that israel keeps doing that” and proceed to send weapons to israel to keep doing those things. And then when people fight back we do the both sides thing!

Iran has done a very level headed retaliation to the attack on their embassy and has public stated they regard this matter as resolved. So indeed they are not placing themselves in an infinite victim role like israel does.
You think that’s a bad decision, you should learn what the USA did in South America for power and greed. Read this book if you want a detailed and verified account. Most have it has been declassified by the CIA to confirm.

Iran’s been pretty fucking quiet since the Iraq War

A terrorist state
Hamas Hezbollah and Houthis are all Iranian proxies. It’s like saying the USSR was quiet during the cold war.
Well Iran did start this latest round (using Hamas for plausible deniability) at the request of Russia to make a distraction for Ukraine.
They might have even taken into account Bibi being a monster and going too far in retaliation. That makes attacking Israel the perfect target to split US attention.
So at this point I expect Xi to go after Taiwan as soon as the US election is over. While Russia continues on Ukraine. And Israel does Israel things with Iran goading them on indirectly.
Start what with Hamas? Are you talking about Oct 7th? Iran had nothing to do with that. Stop watching Israeli news. It’s a firehose of lies.
Has nothing to do with Israel. Russia has been asking all their allies for help with supplies or support in Ukraine. This includes Iran. They met multiple times last year. Ultimately Hamas attacked Israel. Hamas doesn’t execute a plan at the scale that happened without Iran knowing. It doesn’t take any propaganda to put these pieces of the bigger puzzle together.
And as long as the world has the attention set on the shit show in Palestine, less attention is set on Russia raping, torturing and murdering civilians in Ukraine.
Funny thing: an awful lot of countries that increased their business with Russia after the invasion of Ukraine are the ones rushing to condemn Israel.
A grown up person knows that targeting civilians with rape, murder and torture is something that should be condemned regardless of level. In the case of Ukraine a lot of Russian friends were happy just “hoping that there will be peace soon” even with Bucha fresh in their memory.
At least now we know that India, South Africa and parts of South America are totally fine with colonization. So now we can leave that part of the history behind and know what to say the next time any of those countries bring it up.
