Israel launches airstrikes on Iran - BBC News
Explosions are heard in Tehran, as Israel's military says it's carrying out "precise strikes" on military targets.
fucking nuke israel please, iran.
Seems like they did essentially 0 damage, thankfully for the people of Tehran. Apparently they might have hit an essentially empty rev guard training base lol.
I just want these fucking people to be able to live their lives. These genocidal freaks need their capacity for violence wrested from them because they are making hell on Earth by hurting vulnerable people - especially children.
It would have been less humiliating for the zionist regime to have just apologized and did nothing.
US supported genocidal apartheid state opening up a 3rd front? Where have I seen that before?
is it apartheid south africa? sorry i'm dumb.
Rhodesia maybe
i just woke up from the explosions what the hell
Stay Safe!
Hope you're safe, comrade
please stay safe comrade
thanks hopefully israel will fall and we don't have to worry about being bombed anymore.
Stay safe!
Stay safe!!!
thanks!
here's another hug!
So good bye Gulf state/American oil refineries and hello potential oil crisis 2.0? or would this be an exaggeration?
It seems like it's a bit early to tell. Iran doesn't want to escalate, if these attacks are limited they might not up the ante, like last time.
presstv is playing this attack down, saying limited damage and their air defence did their jobs.
the american government has gone through great pains and effort to ensure that opec no longer has the leverage it did back in the 1970's.
i was here when israel decided to go out guns blazing
So like, this is the end of Israel yeah? I just don't see how the Israeli state can continue
They're really pushing it. Motivation wise I'm genuinely hoping it's dome Hitler style being bad at war but cynically, the mire fronts you open the more likely to get America directly involved.
Not going to know the extent of this for a bit and theres word a lot of misinfo going around, we're in the fog right now.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Does anyone here have a guess as to why Israel is trying to solo the entire
Arab worldMiddle East in the middle of an ongoing colonial uprising?Israel doesn't solo anything. They are a hand of the US wearing a blue and white flag
The realpolitik ghoul reason would be that they're trying to start a big enough war that the only way the US can secure its interests in the region is to get directly involved, saving Israel from the consequences of its other aggressions.
But I don't think it's actually realpolitik ghouls in charge, I think they've just got nazis at the helm, and nazis think that all problems can be solved by attacking the weak, and all people are weaker than them.
I have used this example before: imagine you have a revolver with six bullets - they will become obsolete and unable to deal any damage to your enemy in 10 years.
While you only have a 10% chance of killing your enemies right now, it will be 1% in 10 years time.
What will you do?
Do you use those bullets now hoping to deal at least some lasting damage to your enemies, or do you hoard them until nobody is afraid of them anymore?
For Zionists, this will be the end of their ideology, the end of their ethnostate project. What becomes of Zionism when it comes to that? It makes sense they have to deal damage now than later.
(The bullets are US/Israeli air superiority, and what will make it obsolete are modern Russian air defense systems that once supplied to Iran, will end Western air supremacy altogether in the Middle East)
I can think of two possibilities:
- They're copying Nixon's "Madman Theory", where by being violent and unpredictable they can extract greater concessions from their opponents. This is your "De-Escalation through Escalation" they were talking about a while ago.
- Israel now views this as an existential conflict and is trying to disable their opponents while they still have enough munitions to do so.
I hope they lose

because the US wants this -- gotta get WW3 nice and hot without having the blame
US is out here using WW3 to unify it's own citizens who are currently heading towards civil war behind jingoistic wartime patriotism, while also being a huge boon to the US economy through wartime production.
WW2 was great for the US, why wouldn't WW3?
The only way towards de-escalation is coming to the negotiating table with Hamas. Negotiating with Hamas sets a bad precedent and, in the long term, compromise's the entity's ability to keep Palestine down. Their economy is already severely compromised as it is, so I think that going out with some kind of last hurrah and trying to accomplish all their goals at once is probably more appealing than having to back down, recover, and attempt to do it all again a decade from now.
They may see with the US risking getting into a war with Russia and wanting a war with China that their own time to pull the US into a conflict to settle the region's problems in their favor using the might of the US is quickly drawing to a close and will likely not exist in a few years so why let a crisis go to waste when they can try and get the US to take out Iran and Hezbollah for them which would allow greater "isreal" to become a reality. It's an expansionist mindset too. Also fascists gonna fascist.
Fuck
I knew I shouldn't have wished to live in interesting times
It sort of bothers me how wishing works.
"I want something to be a little better."

Say the thing Bart!
There's no way this could end badly
Hurray!!
Here we go. Now did they have an ounce of sense and just pound the desert and a few unimportant places and claim otherwise in their propaganda so Iran has an out not to retaliate in kind? Or more likely did these deranged zionists hit important things and Iran has to hit back even harder and kill US troop scum manning their air defenses as well? At which point the US can either leave with its tail between its legs like Reagan did Lebanon in the 80s or escalate in some way including potentially war.
I hope the people of Iran remain safe regardless of outcome. I hope the colonizers of the zionist occupation continue to feel and be very unsafe as they should be until they stop their genocide and dismantle their apartheid regime.
Here we go again
Were they actual military targets or just apartment buildings and hospitals again?
you forget that those hospitals are hamasbollah
apparently they struck "across the city of Tehran" according to US state tv news
timed with Game 1 of World Series?
