Iran has come out of the shadows and attacked Israel directly. **Read OP before posting**

If Israel were to launch a mass attack on Iran tomorrow, and if they used some of their older Russian equipment it would be a bit of a stretch to imply "Russian involvement".

Bad deflection. Israel is using newly and openly provided US equipment with their support.

If you supply the gun someone uses in a murder you'll be an accessory.

It's semantics anyway. You seem to be agreeing in a round about way that Israel are to the US what hezbollah/hamas are to Iran.

Which I agree with.

LOL I thought that was Ireland, supposedly.

But it's not sinister at all when it's Ireland, right? 🤣

Here's another one, told to me by a Jew, (before anyone tells me it's anti semitic):

What's the proof that Jesus was a Jew?

Ans: He was still living with his mother when he was 33, she thought he was the messiah, and he thought she was a virgin.

Or, alternatively: He set up a multinational that's still making money 2000 years later.

(I'll get my coat)

If they were intent on causing major damage why signpost the attacks in advance. I think the Iranians knew the bulk of their missiles would be intercepted and were probably happy to avoid an escalation. They may have decided to use newer weapons to project force and make it look like they were intent on causing major damage. I am just wondering how long before Israel go back to killing Iranians in Syria. Also for all we know an understanding may have been worked between all parties in private to avoid a wider regional war. As a former head of Mossad said what we see in public is not always reflective of what's happening in private.

It was done for a domestic audience and they probably bought the spin, but I agree anyone looking from the outside should know Israel was the clear winner in this confrontation. The Iranian Government will know it too. This is why they played down the attack despite the radar for the Russian defense system at the base being damaged in the attack. It was a warning from Israel of what they are capable of doing to Irans most prized assets

A clear warning should Israel attack Iran again.

I wonder is it because I was friends with an Iranian whose wife and himself were both elegant and sophisticated hosts that I cannot understand how anyone could support the child murderers of Israel over Iran.

I knew Israeli's too and three were nice but none of those had served on the frontline when I knew them. I think the apartheid requirement they instituted has driven them barmy.

I've no major problem with Iran, womens rights probably need to be improved but supporting the child murdering genocidal state of Israel over Iran.... that seems crazy and yet we have people here supporting Israel. Why?

Fair point, seems like a shockingly cruel and arbitrary judgement, but still hardly a reason to hate them given Saudi does similar but is a great ally of the USA and certainly not a reason to prefer the child murderers in Israel.

How anyone could prefer the Israeli child murderers is beyond me. Maybe they are people working in Israel companies or otherwise compromised. It makes no sense to me and even more crazy to see the UK/ EU backing Israel. It feels like the colonists and imperialists have to support horror to somehow assert what they see as their superiority.

Iran condemns US attempts to trample on free speech and right to protest.
