Advanced weapons include precise missiles, surface to air missiles and air defenses transported mostly via Damascus airport which has come under repeated strikes attributed to Israel

As the U.S. was supplying Israel with military aid, so is Iran delivering weapons to its regional allies, in transports through the Damascus airport mostly, while other weapons transports arrive through other locations.

The frequent strikes on Syria in recent days, attributed to Israel, were for the most part intended to thwart such transfers from Iran, that were meant to increase the number of precise missiles, anti-tank missiles and air defenses including the Iranian made surface to air 358 missiles also called SA-67) that can intercept drones, planes low flying aircraft and missiles, available to Hezbollah.

Iran had already supplied its Lebanese proxy with a substantial stock of missiles which have been used by Hezbollah against Israeli drones recently but have thus far failed to shoot any down. Israel has been able to intercept the 358 missiles using its air defenses.

      It definitely does not bode well, and the U.S. will definitely get dragged in at some point.

        Get dragged? US is already dousing the fire with most flammable assets, and also stoking it as hard as it can by giving Israel blank checks in any use of US weapons, forcing a “they deserve it” narrative on Palestinian genocide and land grab, pressuring its western allies to turn a completely blind eye and just say “Hamas is the only bad guy here” so making them an uncompromising block.

        It could have turned out to be a mass murder of Israeli civilians, a hostage situation the can be diplomatically defused, then appropriate repercussions, maybe the same old oppression going on in Gaza for decades, and actual targeting of Hamas leaders. Instead, we have your fucking oil industry governed military industry executed facade of a civilized country leading every situation to a bloodbath.

        What US interest in the Middle East left anyway? Is it time for gobbling Iranian petrol yet? So the US oil lobby can continue its planet-fuckery emissions full speed?

    1. fuck hamas
    2. fuck khamenei
    3. fuck netanyahu

    also fuck assad, for good measure.

    with that out of the way, ynet and jpost consistently drop these alarmist takes and rarely back up their claims with sources. now, i don’t doubt the shipment itself, nor israel’s awareness of it. but i can’t find a single other source reporting on this specific alleged escalation into a wider conflict, just ynet. if i had to wager a guess? because iran is continuously investing in their satellite groups. primarily hezbollah, hamas and the houthies, but certainly others, too. arms, funding, training, likely logistics support as well. especially now.

    idk, the whole article just reads like padding to diminish that small part about bombing the fuck out of a neighboring country, on one of the last functional airports in the country, causing more devastation to lives and spreading their vengeance-fueled rampage out as far as they possibly can.

        So you’re just gonna entirely ignore the fact that relations were slowly moving in the right direction during the late Obama years and that Trump basically flipped the table and reset everything to being fully hostile?

            Tbh, wasn’t really trying to legacy chase; just pointing out that this particular failure isn’t reasonable to put entirely at Biden’s feet.

            To be clear: I ended up being deeply disappointed in Obama on a lot of things, and am not trying to cheerlead. Also, I’m no fan of Biden, but he’s sure as shit better than Trump.

    Seems like the root many of the problems in the middle east pretty much all lie with Iran, especially its murderous elders who donate weapons and train various paramilitary and terrorist organizations. Seems like a huge thorn in the side for that entire region.

      Surely America didn’t overthrow their previous moderate democratic government in favor of a religious group because the previous government didn’t want to let them control all the oil supplies.

      Operation Ajax

      The 1953 Iranian coup d’état, was the U.S.- and British-instigated, Iranian army-led overthrow of the democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh in favor of strengthening the monarchical rule of the shah,

      Mosaddegh had sought to audit the documents of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company (AIOC), a British corporation (now part of BP), to verify that AIOC was paying the contracted royalties to Iran, and to limit the company’s control over Iranian oil reserves.

      Upon the AIOC’s refusal to cooperate with the Iranian government, the parliament (Majlis) voted to nationalize Iran’s oil industry

    Iran needs to stay the hell out of this. The more they’re involved, the more Israel bombs their neighbors.

    Lebanon was at relative peace until Hezbollah started stirring shit with Israel. Now I feel like it’s going to hit the fan. And Lebanon really doesn’t need this right now.

          Iran sure wasn’t doing hot a few months ago but right now America and israel are literal (not figurative) Nazis in their Jewish Ubermensch policy. Making Iran a far superior country in terms of human rights.

          Being forced to put on a head scarf is far better than having your entire family blown up and buried beneath the rubble. This is objectively true as much as you don’t want to admit it.

          Once again the comparison to Hitler fits perfectly in every way. Did we lose many people by fighting against the Nazis? Should we thus not have done it because fighting bad?

          The difference between us is that I realize the Americans aren’t going to stop their Nazi campaign by asking nicely. And waiting for the ZioNazis to multiply and want to expand their Lebensraum even more sure as hell isn’t going to lead to peace.

          Absolutely nothing is going to improve if the Arabs don’t fight for their right to exist. Israel has already stated that they just want to keep stealing land past Gaza and the West Bank. They want to colonize Lebanon (which they did before Hezbollah beat their Nazi ass out of there) and Jordan is of course nice and close while we’re already there.

              I would be utterly ashamed to live in a Nazi state let alone pay taxes there and support Genocide.

              Are you going to tell me Hitler was big on technology and industrialization, so Nazi Germany was a better place to live than Poland?

                So you would prefer to rather live in a country which has no human rights, oppressive regime, no real prospects for the future? Weird choice but okay.

                Also, comparing Israel to Nazis is absurd. Yes, Israel made many mistakes including war crimes but the scale cannot be compared to nazism.

                Also, unlike Israel, nazi germany had a terrible economic issues where burning the money was just more effective than using it. In addition, the population was far more impacted by the war than in Israel. So unlike Israel, it was objectively a terrible place to live in.

                  Your comparison is, as all pro israel comparisons are, completely insane to begin with.

                  Your question should be “would you rather live in Gaza or in Iran”. And the answer anyone would give to that question is Iran.

                  And even with the original question, what is your point? Does money make genocide okay? I guess it is since you’re still out here shilling for “the chosen people.”

                  Bombing children’s hospitals and stealing their property sure is easier than getting your property stolen.

                  Lmao @ israel “human rights” get outta here with your Nazi propaganda.

            You’re completely bonkers to think Iran is superior. Israel might be acting like the Nazis, but the shit the middle East endured because of Iran is extremely bad.

      The USA needs to stay the hell out of the Ukraine conflict. The more they’re involved, the more Russia bombs their neighbours.

      Ukraine was at relative peace until Azov started stirring shit with Russia. Now I feel like it’s going to hit the fan. And Ukraine really doesn’t need this right now.

        There is absolutely no parallel to make between these two conflicts other than Russia’s cruelty towards Ukrainians.
