Israel, U.S. believe Iran is about to retaliate for Israeli bombing of Syria consulate, officials say
The Iranians are now believed to be planning a retaliatory attack with a swarm of Shahed loitering drones and cruise missiles, according to U.S. officials.
I mean yeah, it was a act of war to bomb a embassy in a foreign country.
How dare they fight back. That's such an antagonistic thing to do. Don't they know they're not allowed to defend themselves.
It reminds me of my own father knocking down the bathroom door and then saying, "Put your hands down. I consider that threatening."
It's anti semitic to get upset over your embassy getting bombed
They should do nothing. Iran can’t invade Israel. Israel can’t invade Iran If Iran attacks civilians, they risk setting off a larger war in the area. Iran isn’t popular with the Arabs. I suspect they’ll do a small limited attack against something Israeli and call victory. They know if it went to war, they’ll lose.
And by "believe" we mean "want", in the case of Israel.
Netanyahu is attacking Israel's neighbours because he's trying to drag more countries into this mess.
Once that happens, the US will get further involved and the Israeli genocide against Palestinian civilians becomes just one front rather than the focal point.
"Want" in the case of the US too mind you!
What's a bit of murder if it brings in the 🤑🤑💰💰💰💰
Oh no, not the consequences of my actions!
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Israel on Monday struck an Iranian consulate in Damascus, Syria, and killed a number of senior leaders of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, according to the Pentagon.
A public funeral was held in Tehran on Friday for the seven IRGC members killed in the suspected Israeli strike in Damascus, including two generals, CBS News' Seyed Bathaei reported.
At the funeral, the IRGC's overall commander, Gen. Hossein Salami, warned that Israel "cannot escape the consequences" of assassinating Iranian military officers, he did not give any further indication of how or when Iran might retaliate, Bathaei said.
National Security Council coordinator for strategic communications John Kirby said that President Biden in his phone call Thursday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu discussed Iranian threats to Israel.
Earlier Friday, Iranian presidential adviser Mohammad Jamshidi posted on X that Iran's message to American leaders was "not to get dragged in Netanyahu's trap for U.S.: Stay away so you won't get hurt."
A State Department spokesperson told CBS that the U.S. responded by sending a written warning to Iran not to use the Israeli strike as a "pretext to attack U.S. personnel and facilities."

I would recommend filling your gas tank if you have one
Unlike israel, Iran actually has the right to defend itself.
What Israel is doing in Palestine is a fucking war crime and for that, they need to be held accountable.
For killing some Iranian generals in Syria... yeah, I couldn't care less. Iran acting morally indignant is laughable at best. Pot calling the kettle black and all that.
K.
If I were Iran I would try and be patient and just let global revulsion against Israel and the US continue to grow.
