    Israeli Ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon calls on Security Council to stand by his country. “This is a moment to make moral decisions. Stand by Israel - or you will be partners in a dangerous silence", He said.

    That's a threat not a warning

    Israel is threatening nuclear Holocaust for the entire world if you do not support their genocidal warmongering. Which will likely end in nuclear genocide. That’s what I’m seeing here. Fucking great. Awesome. Love that for us.

    Yeah this isn't a small strike. They went after the leaders of Iran and their nuclear sites all at once.

    Looks like they got the head of the Revolutionary Guard too.

    To be clear, FUCK Israel-

    but if you're going to do this, this is the way to do it. War is hell, and the objective should be to do whatever is necessary to bring your opponent to the table for surrender or negotiation as quickly as possible and avoid a prolonged engagement. In any other era we wouldn't even be discussing this.

    Again, though, for those in the back- fuck Israel.

    Iran was barely doing anything the last few years? the sudden attack seems likes its distraction from all those protests.

    Targetted military installations, Israel said. But seems they instead hit residential apartment complexes. So, yet another war crime.

    Except for the weapons we sold them, the intel reports we provided, etc, etc.

    Great. Israel proves once again that Iran needs a nuke to protect itself. Iran now has all the reason to quickly develop a nuke, which Israel will take as a pretext to demand the US to invade Iran for them.

    An Iranian nuke will make Saudi want one, and then Turkiye will also want one.

    Israel is doing everything it can to keep the region in perpetual war, justifying its imperialist and genocidal regime as "self defense".

    Funny how the US diverted 20k drones from Ukraine to the Middle East recently, wonder where they will end up…

    And funny how the US embassy there was emptied a few days ago, citing "tensions in the region." Almost looks like they knew, doesn't it?

    Presumably it is to discourage Iran from attacking US assets in the region, knowing that the US have weapons that they can use to counter-attack. Any counter-attack needs to be against Israel alone, not the US. That's what the US wants.

    OK, I get that Israel has the right to exist but for fucking once can it please just exist for 5 fucking minutes?

    Not to diminish the other grave consequences of this strike, but because of Trump's tariffs and other erratic behavior, the U.S. economy is teetering on the edge of recession. This strike has already caused oil prices to jump significantly, which will almost certainly speed the onset and deepen the depth of the coming recession.

    No US involvement

    Beyond the billions upon billions in weapons and sales that we've sent them, and keep sending them, of course

    Israel is digging its own grave. Sadly with other people's blood.

    "Following the pre-emptive strike by the State of Israel against Iran, a missile and UAV (drone) attack against the State of Israel and its civilian population is expected in the immediate time frame," Defence Minister Israel Katz said in a statement.

    Amazing how Israel was able to figure out when the unprovoked Iranian attack was going to occur that they managed to get their preemptive strike done in the nick of time.
