The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) says it will deliver a “regret-inducing response” if Israeli strikes on Lebanon don’t stop immediately, state media reports

Israel and the US say Lebanon is not included in a two-week ceasefire deal with Iran. PM Benjamin Netanyahu says today Israel delivered “the greatest blow” to Hezbollah since the start of its ground operation in Lebanon

    Israel, Iran and Trump, 3 groups that don’t give a fuck about the damage they do and whose strategy is simply escalating until the others back down. Two of which are nuclear powers.

      How could Iran possibly be perceived to be a part of that group? And interesting you refer to the other countries by name but the US as Trump? Trump isn’t personally bombing anyone

        Iran has fired missiles at Israel and encouraged their proxy Hezbollah and others to do the same since the Gaza war was started by Hamas. Iran has been the major reason for this war to escalate across the region.

        Also don’t forget their involvement in Syria, Iraq, and Yemen.

        „Death to America. Death to Israel.“ aren’t just empty phrases, they have been active Iranian policies for decades.

        Also remember than Iran slaughtered protestors by the tens of thousands just a few months ago. They have the highest kill count of civilians in this war by far, if you count these.

        Iran also hasn’t offered any concessions towards achieving a ceasefire so far. They want more power than before. They think they can outlast Trump‘s willpower to continue the war. A stronger Iran would be a bad outcome of this already terrible war.

        Don’t forget the gulf states either. Kuwait launched air strikes against Iran after the ceasefire was announced.

        The whole situation is pretty fucked.

        Because they keep escalating the violence and dismissing the threats of the other two. That’s how that game works. The first to blink loses.

            Throwing missiles and drones at all their neighbours, threatening to blow up merchant vessels, is idling? If they could do more they would, but they can’t, not that they aren’t trying. If you don’t understand its because you’re trying very hard not to.

              You want them to sit there and do nothing while Israel and the US “send them back to the stone ages”

                They have no problem killing their own people and are only protecting themselves, personally. They refuse to back down no matter how much people suffer, just like Trump and Netanyahoo.
