Israel are going to start WWIII

They say military targets, but 🤷🏼‍♂️

Nah - the israelis were shocked by the Iranian strikes a few weeks ago. They suddenly realised they were in a gunfight with someone who had a gun.

The US can't restrain the israelis from genociding in Gaza during an election year when its possibly going to cost Harris votes in key states. The idea they can dictate to israel on responding to a ballistic missile attack is laughable.

The reality is the its the israelis who are dictating their own response. If it is limited, its only because the israelis are still clinging to the old playbook that they can hit others but no one will dare hit them. So they hope if they only minimally attack Iran, Iran will concede israel has a higher priority to attack its neighbours.

I think that is a bad bet - Iran loses nothing from punishing israel with further strikes with its monthly production of ballistic missiles.

All three of Israel’s main TV stations are reporting a second wave of Israeli strikes on Iran. Channel 12 quotes non-state reports in Iran saying Israeli raids are taking place in eastern Tehran and an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps command facility.

Channel 12 also reports that the first wave of Israeli airstrikes targeted missile production and air defense facilities.

According to AFP reporters, continuous explosions and light trails are visible across the sky in central Tehran following the new blasts.

What an underwhelming response from Israel. I wonder why. The first Iranian missile strike has certainly put them thinking.

Hopefully Iran see the weak response from Israel as their way of backing down, and don't retaliate meaningfully.

Israel will always demand the last word. Like a spoilt child, the bigger more mature party just lets them have it and doesn't respond.

Israel has the right to defend itself, it's like a broken record now.

Why is the Israeli response to Iran seen as weak? Do we even know what they hit or what damage was done yet?

To me it looks like they were able to fly their warplanes around Iran with complete impunity. Iran are utterly defenseless.

exactly some people on here won't be happy till israels back is to the wall and its forced to nuke iran

hardly - the strikes on iranian missile and drone manufacturing last night is ultimately helping ukraine

And yet people speak ill of Kristallnacht - an ostensible response to the murder of a diplomat by a Jewish youth. Perhaps reflective of the existential threat faced by Germans from the Jewish people.

Strange isn't it?

It's almost as if it's easy just to concoct false equivalences

Definitely ……… if your viewpoint is that Ukraine will be better off if/when Russia gains full control of it and that hastening that end is ultimately helping the Ukrainian people. i.e. the Russian point of view.

All Western focus and aid now on Middle East. Those weapons which could have gone to Ukraine now backing up the zionists genocidal wars and constant aggression. All the Russian oligarchs with their Israeli passports sipping champagne in their Tel Aviv penthouses mapping out what regions of Ukraine they want to assume under their personal control.

Up to now Syria, Iraq, Jordan, Pakistan, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, UAE, KSA, Yemen and Malaysia have all condemned Israel's illegal attack on Iran.

This “concern” did exist. This “concern” is the very reason that after WW2 all of the countries got together to agree that civilians and children WEREN’T to be killed during war, if possible, by setting out the Geneva Convention. You and Israel seem to be ignoring that convention. It is no longer 1943, we have rules of war now.

BBC reporting that Israel may have heeded warnings from the U.S. re attacking Iran. The attack avoided oil and nuclear facilities.

Shame the U.S. doesn't insist on stopping the genocide. It has the power to do so.
