    Israel has stated that if Iran doesn’t stop defending itself, Tehran will burn. Is that what they meant? Iran’s nuclear-armed allies need to offer a nuclear umbrella to ensure this stays a fair fight. If they do, Israel’s reign of terror is over. If they don’t, this world is about to get fucking terrifying.

    ah, shit

      I think “defense” minister Israel Katz is the one who said Tehran will burn. Regardless, I can’t see this as anything other than Israel promising they’ll commit a second genocide. Fully backed by the USA, of course.

    Obviously I’m not saying I want Israli civilians killed. I don’t want that any more than I want Iranians and Palestinians killed.

    That said, I’m finding it really hard to feel any sympathy for them.

        Because Iran is getting baited into a war, one that they possibly can’t win, meanwhile attention is getting shifted away from Gaza. If this does turn into a full blown war it and Iran really does have the capability to stop oil production in the Middle East we are heading for a major economic crisis all around the world and possibly more escalation. Not to mention Isreal seems to be doing a lot more damage to Iran than Iran is doing to Isreal. Either way the situation is bad for every one.
