Re: Iran attacks Israel

For Iran, perhaps. There’s no way it can ultimately come off best in an encounter like this. It looks like a desperate throw of the dice - I’m sure they thought provoking Israel to go wild in Gaza would have resulted in it suffering serious international consequences by now, but it seems to have concluded if you want a job doing, best do it yourself.

The US will probably force themselves in on it and then try to get you guys to help also......

War is no good!!

Re: Iran attacks Israel

They’re hoping for a tit for tat, let’s not escalate this any further pragmatic response.

Let’s see if they get it.

Well, duh!

A MOD official was conducting an All Services briefing one day, and he posed the question: "What would you do if you found a scorpion in your tent?"

A Sailor said, "I'd step on it."

A Soldier said, "I'd hit it with my boot."

A Royal Marine said, "I'd catch it, break the stinger off, and eat it."

An Airman said, "I'd call room service and find out why there's a damn tent in my room."

Perfect plan. They are camouflaged, mingling with the others in the pool and they can monitor Israel across the sea. Genius.

They don’t have pools on Mount Troodos (but they do at Ayios Nikolaos)… ;)

Re: Iran attacks Israel

If Israel retaliates and ends up killing thousands of innocent Iranians with their superior missiles. Will it be Israel’s fault they were killed…..or Iran’s……asking for a friend.

Re: Iran attacks Israel

Let's hope they don't. The US is putting pressure on them not to respond.

If they killed “thousands” of innocent Iranians it’d be Israel’s.

You may find this informative…

From the perspective of many governments around the world, Israel moved up the escalation ladder when it razed Iran’s embassy annex in Damascus on April 1. This airstrike killed Mohammad Reza Zahedi, a top Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) commander, in addition to at least six others in the IRGC’s elite Quds Force, its foreign arm. Given that this diplomatic facility was, according to international law, on Iranian soil and that Zahedi was the IRGC’s highest-ranking commander to be killed since Qasem Soleimani’s assassination in early 2020, this attack intensified the “shadow war” between Israel and Iran.

It’s almost as if Netanyahu was deliberately escalating tensions…
