Reports stating that Israel have launched an attack against Iran
Of course it doesn't however you would never know Iran was attacked by Israel/USA given the narrative in the 'west'
Israel/USA does not ahve the right to attack countries, it does not have the right to target civilians but they get a free pass
The UK does not have the right to facilitate the USA attacking Iran but they get a free pass as well
It is unreal, allow your territory to be used to spy on Iran and stage attacks but it ain't fair if Iran retaliates
Your logic would basically suggest Israel levelling Gaza was fair game.
In what way exactly?
Iran is targeting civilians in countries that hosted US bases (and some who didn't) and people are suggesting it is a legitimate response to US attacks.
How is that any different from Israel targeting civilians after Hamas staged 7/10 attacks?
I never stated that Iran was OK targetting civilians in countries that allow the US to attack Iran from their territory. Iran is entirely justified and has the right to attack US bases in countries that allow the US to attack Iran from their terriroty. Do you not agree with this?
apparently the US has been dealt a dizzying defeat by iran according to the new aytollah - he would want to be cafeful trump's ego might not take that sentiment too well
Nato have pulled all troops out of Iraq today. What were they there for anyway ?
'Consultancy' apparantly
I have agreed with it several times.
That is not what they are doing.
Training & advisory mission, with primary focus on anti-Daesh/ISIS operations. It is not a combat force. Includes both NATO members and third-party countries such as Austria. Couldn't find an exact headcount, but it doesn't seem to be a large contingent in any case.
That’s a conspiracy theory being spread by irano russian propaganda circles
The attack (two drones) on Azerbaijan was deliberate, came exactly a day after Azeri president gave condolences at Irans embassy and targeted his home town
https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/05/world/middleeast/azerbaijan-iran-drone-attack-airport.html
Reported widely in media including verified video footage of the airport being hit by an Iranian drone that are quite distinctive
The only countries flying those drones are Iran and Russia
but that’s the thing it’s not just US bases or even facilities Americans might have used that are being hit
Datacenters, civilian airports, apartment blocks, famous hotels, refineries have all been hit often hundreds of kilometres from nearest military installation
That's a fair and balanced post. I agree.
and here is theri denial
Iran denies its drones hit airport in Azerbaijan’s exclave as war widens | Conflict News | Al Jazeera
considering that they have claimed other attacks , why deny this ? what ould they gain by bombing and denying it?
Did not the US and Israel bomb airports, refineries, schools, hospitals, nuclear facilities and industrial operations in it's 2 illegal acts of aggression. Or do they not count ?
If I had a cent for every time Iranian buddies to their north denied their criminal attack in Ukraine in last 12 years I be rich now
On one hand you have video evidence and Iranian drone parts on the ground on the other hand you have a regime that lies about everything including killing its own people on their thousands
in your opinion does that make it ok for Iran to attack civilian targets anywhere but Israel and US?
they were there dealing with ISIS at invitation of the Iraqi government, now what where Russians doing in Syria next door dropping chemical weapons and bombs on civilians for over a decade?
The only logic in this statement is the word.
Iran is not disputed territory. Its a sovereign nation that is being indiscriminately attacked by two countries using 5 or 6 proxy countries.
Its responding legitimately and intelligently.
Nothing else matters. Not your opinion or my opinion on the Iranian regime or indeed the US Israeli regimes.
The facts are one country is being attacked and its doing everything in its power to survive that.
That means we need to revive European Defence Union proposals. Putin won't stop at Ukraine.
So the fact that Iran was financing and supplying terrorist groups like Hamas and Hezbollah against Israel has no material effect on the legality? Laws of self defence would apply there too.
It is Iran who is getting a free pass on here for attacking non-combatant countries and their civilians.
Iran is now threatening to target "parks, recreational areas and tourist destinations" worldwide. This is not a legitimate or intelligent response at all, and I honestly dont know how anyone could think otherwise. You dont have to take the side of every lunatic just because they are enemies of Israel you know.

The only other possibility is that it was Russia using Iranian drones.
By that logic, the Ukraine and its allies (which include the US and NATO) are entirely justified to attack Iran, because Iran allowed Russia to use Iranian-made missiles to attack Ukraine. The US could also bomb North Korea, as they allowed Russia to use their soldiers to attack Ukraine. Do you not agree with this?
All the Americans have to do is deny they attacked that school by the logic illustrated higher up
to excuse Iranian attacks on neutral countries
The bar gets set lower and lower by those rushing to defend Iranian regime whom been shouting for decades they don’t want to be tied by these pesky things called laws
Trump did deny it, therefore it didn't happen, according to those who defend Iran.
Iran is a theocratic dictatorship; America created the global rules-based order. So, yes, I expect more of America than Iran and do hold it to a higher standard. Anyway, Americans and Israelis have some neck complaining about Iran’s conduct given how they started this war.
I haven't taken a side. Im looking at it 100% objectively. If Iran were not retaliating in the way theyre then the world wouldn't really care if Israel amd the US bombed them into the stone age. Similar to gaza i suppose.
But Iran have a strategy and ability to give them the best chance of survival and theyre currently acting on it.
Please spare me the faux outrage of Iran only saying they'll target civilians while the US/Israel actually bomb schools.
I hold America to a higher standard too. When they fail to meet it I don't suddenly proclaim China is better.
That is a pretty perfect way to not get higher standards in general.
