I'm amazed that people think Iran hasn't been involved in the Israel/Hamas war since before it started

Iran has been providing arms, supplies, intelligence and other support to all four terrorist groups involved in this war and the general who was killed was hosting terrorists in the consulate when Israel attacked. Israel had finally got tired of Iran's proxy war tactics and support of terrorists who have been attacking them. Iran is a legitimate target in this war and has been since 10/7.

Just informed me this was Israel’s fault because Israel shouldn’t have attacked Iran’s embassy. But she also thinks Biden has been so bad she’s not voting in November, so there’s that.

Then since we do all that as well then that would make us a legitimate target. No one should bomb an embassy. Ever.

Germany, Britain, Italy and Australia. That would also make at this point, China, N Korea, and Russia legitimate targets for us. At any point we can just attack them and it would be legitimate. At any point they can attack us and it would be legitimate. Does all of that really sound good to you?

Iran's Republican Guard Corps (IRGC) Al-Quds Brigade has long supported both Hamas, the PIJ, and the Houthis. Especially the Houthis, because Yemen is a proxy war between Iran and Saudi Arabia.
