Great
Very interesting but snakes are to cute to eat
Israel bombed Iran’s Consulate
This makes Iran’s retaliation a RESPONSE, not an unprecedented “attack”. If Israel did not want this, they should not have bombed Iran’s Consulate, killing Iranians on sovereign territory. That was out of line. Period. Now the two are “equal” in war terms. I do not support war and violence in general but do not misrepresent the facts and portray Iran as being the aggressor here, deserving of yet another Israel strike. Israel is a rogue, criminal apartheid state as factually proven by their treatment of civilians in Gaza. Let’s stay with the facts and not use Iranian’s one night response as tactic to distract from the real problem. Israel.
