A spokesman for Iran’s Foreign Ministry, Nasser Kanaan, said that “it is necessary to punish Israel,” echoing comments from other senior Iranian officials. But he also said that “Tehran is not interested in escalating the regional conflicts.”
Its like, actually fucking amazing how level headed the region has been at not being baited by Israel into a broader conflict.
No one in the region wants to possibly get nuked by Israeli forces.
Or just want to keep showing Israel is actually the child of the region
This makes so much sense to me - Iran joining in would give an invitation to USA, EU, etc. to join in with Israel, and take away focus from Israel’s war crimes and genocide to instead focus on the new bad guy.
It's easy to be level headed when you look at a map and see your entire western border covered in US military bases.
It’s almost as though our “enemy” is more interested in peace in the Middle East than our “ally.”
Let's not get carried away. Iran is still arming radical extremists including Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis, and Asad. They are a pretty big part of this mess already. But any imperial power knows that it's one thing to arm militant groups but another entirely to commit your own army.
Iran is also supplying large numbers of drones to Russia who uses them to kill Ukrainian civilians.
Israel attacked a sovereign nation. The other nation said it will retaliate but doesn't necessarily want to escalate. I don't see how I'm getting carried away.
Yeah because terrorists such as Hezbollah and Hamas totally don’t attack Israel
You're comparing a sovereign state with terrorists. You've lost the plot.
Iran funds those terrorists.
So you are essentially saying that if Israel created a terrorist organization, started attacking Iran via it and then Iran responds to Israel, it would be Iran who is the aggressive one and starting the conflict, right?
You're putting words in my mouth and making assumptions about my world view.
No, I am just questioning your logic.
They aren't interested in peace, but they are interested in not starting a war they can't win.
Organized Religion is the root of all evil. As a woman I want a world without religion. please and thank you
Humans are perfectly capable of dividing themselves into factions and fostering hatred of the other without religion, don't you worry.
don't doubt
People would find a new evil to worship if given the opportunity.
tbf they can worship anything they want. My problem is not so much with having faith but with the mass control, kid rape, women killing part of things, that comes from organized religion. When someone gives a dude the power to talk like god it's never good. Why do people need to have other people teling them how to think all the time?!!! Idiocracy
Fuck religion
