Good on Biden to tell the genocidal maniacs they're on their own if they keep fucking up, at least

Now cut them off entirely please

Analyst: Attack is a 'major milestone,' even if Iran intended it to be largely symbolic

Iran's unprecedented attack on Israel marks a significant moment in history, even if it was intended to be largely symbolic, according to an analyst with geopolitical risk advisory firm Eurasia Group.

"Make no mistake: even if #Iran intended this to be a telegraphed and (it would seem) largely symbolic show of force to restore deterrence, it has attacked Israel with missiles and drones for the first time," tweeted Gregory Brew, an Iran analyst.

"Alea iacta est, folks," he added, using a Latin term for "the die is cast."

Brew wrote that he "did not anticipate Iran would use its own missiles, from within its own territory, against Israel directly."

"A major milestone," Brew tweeted.

Ukraine condemns Iran, drawing parallels with Russian attacks as it pushes for new U.S. aid

Ukraine has condemned Iran's attack on Israel, drawing parallels with its fight against Russia as Kyiv presses its allies to boost its own aerial defenses, which have come under increasing attack from drones Tehran has supplied to Moscow.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on X that "Irans actions threaten the entire region and the world, just as Russias actions threaten a larger conflict."

Zelenskyy called on the U.S. to make the necessary decisions to strengthen Americas allies at this critical time," with new military aid for Kyiv held up by Republicans in Congress and Russia threatening a battlefield breakthrough.

His post came hours after the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs appealed for the world to act "before it's too late."

"Just as #Iran attacked #Israel with Shahed drones last night, Russia simultaneously attacked Kharkiv in Ukraine with the same weapon," the Ministry of Foreign Affairs posted on X today. "Unpunished evil always returns and, if not stopped, spreads widely. The time to break this cycle of violence is now. Before its too late."

As I said. Iran just opened Pandora's box. Better not cry later when the same is done to them.

And let us not forget how Iran sent hundreds of drones and missiles right across Jordan's airspace, endangering them as well. But I expect, as always, Iran will get a total fucking pass for all of its international atrocities.

Sad that the obvious needs to be stated, and that many on the left will still ignore it. Iran is a terrorist state.

Hopefully Biden wins in November and someone who's determined to protect Israel but not right-wing politically replaces Netanyahu. Israel is fucking pissed at Russia for their hand in Hamas's attacks, and I foresee a bright future of US-Ukraine-Israel relations with Israel, backed by US funding, mass producing the Iron Dome for Ukraine.
Don't fuck it up, leftists.

I'm going to ask the obvious question. Did Iran actually launch anything or did the IDF say they did just distract from what's going on at home?

At least the Iranian drones currently only targeted military targets.

more civilians deaths in a few months than Russia was responsible for over years.

Well yea Ukrainians actually care about protecting their civilians

I'm going to ask the obvious question. Did Iran actually launch anything or did the IDF say they did just distract from what's going on at home?

In your little world, does it make sense that Iran would first warn about the drone attack, Israel would lie about getting attacked, USA would lie about shooting down drones, Iran would lie about saying that they are done sending drones and they would keep the lie up when Israel said that they will get their revenge when it fits them?

First off, watch the tone kid. This is a legitimate question. All 3 actors in this situation cannot be trusted for various reasons.

Does everyone have drones now?

Any causalities?

If not then I'd say this is the best case scenario, yet Israel is probably going to fuck it up and have the U.S. help them.

Any causalities?

Yes.

3 Jordans dead and 1 Arab girl who survived but I don't know the extent of her injuries. If Iran was hoping to gather sympathy from neighboring countries I dare say they fucked up big time.

As of right now it looks like Biden has convinced Netanyahu to not retaliate.

yeah I'd say that doesn't bode well for the Jordanian-Iranian relationship

Are you blaming the Palestinians themselves for civilian deaths?

And the key difference is that Ukrainian civilians could flee West to any of the friendly countries. No such luck for Palestinians trapped in Gaza with nowhere to go, and facing a famine.

Jordan along with the US was actively intercepting the drones heading to Israel

Who's the party committing genocide against Palestinians again? And then attacked the Iranian embassy in Syria?

As opposed to Israel getting a slap on the wrist for genocide? And sending their own missiles towards Syria and Lebanon? At least the Iranian drones currently only targeted military targets.

Says the Israel apologist batting for a government that killed 34000+ civilians.

Prove that Russia is behind Hamas. Oh wait you can't. It's very telling that Israel is responsive for more civilians deaths in a few months than Russia was responsible for over years.

It's hilarious for you to think that Bibi is the sole problem and not decades of institutionalized Israeli policy promoting discriminatory policies against Palestinians. But hey, they're free to carry on as long as it fits the agenda of neocons like you, right?
