Even if your super neutral about this:
Israel killed their head of state, so wouldn’t this be fair game?
It would literally be a proportionate response.
Most countries have a no assassination policy just for that reason, in fact.
But not the US. I'm not looking up exact numbers but I'm guessing they've killed more country leaders than any other country in the last 50 years? Right now leaders on the top of the board for offing should be: Putin, Netanyahu, Trump. Could probably settle out then and see if the wars all over the world that those 3 are fomenting stop and reassess if any other leaders needed to be added to the list.
Don't forget all the staged coupes to replace, and simple kidnappings of, country leaders. Sure, it's not assassinations but the end goal is the same. Yank the person(s) in charge, dead or alive.
Of course it's fair game
I don't even think many Zionists would be opposed to killing Netanyahu at this point. How are we supposed to find a neutral party? Maybe it's me, since I don't view Zelensky or Netanyahu as the ones calling the shots. The US economic system lacks true redundancies, unlike its political networks.
Israel has also killed its own head of state in the past
Is anyone claiming that this isn't a reasonable stance for them to take?
Like, plenty of people I'm sure don't want them to succeed, but I don't think anyone is a shocked Pikachu that they want to.
Iran hasn't been historically shy about calling for people's deaths, and as you say, their head of state was just killed. Of course they want to retaliate. That is the natural and expected thing for them to want.
It may or may not be a good thing if they're able to succeed, depending on your perspective. But I don't think anyone thinks it would be an "unfair" thing of them to do.
Why don't you want them to succeed with killing Netanyahu? Steven Universe reasons?
Why?
Famously, bombings did not bring down Nazi Germany and imperial japan. Of course! Every intelligent person understands this!
So you're literally just stating random stuff without adding anything to the conversation? Is this some elaborate troll?
Yes, bombing is a result of failure. Unfortunately, the failure has happened. Only way to correct that failure is to bomb Israel, since Israel will not go "yeah guys we're dissolving this settler colonial state because we don't want to get bombed in retaliation by people we ethnically cleansed and are genociding, since, uk, bombing is the result of failure"
Liberals, turning “failure” into an abstraction, bereft of any actual, concrete goals
Some violence is self defense, like in this case. It may not be our favorite thing, but if you're up against fascists in power the only thing that can stop them is violence. If you don't, you're just letting them genocide literally everyone they want, which isn't just extremely cruel and abominable, but it's also stupid, as the enemy of the state is a moving target and for every genocide they accomplish they move on to the next. It's a matter of time until you or your loved ones are declared the enemy. What then? How can you resist genocidal violence if not with self-defense?
Killing Netanyahu wouldn’t be great self defense, on the contrary. What Iran and Iran-controlled factions are doing now is the better “self defense” violence: target assets that have a deep value for the US and their allies.
Ah ok: you're a Zionist who was just pretending to do the "both sides thing". You couldn't help but give yourself away though, lol
It took months for Israel to kill 40,000 Palestinians when they were bombing Gaza, how can you believe that Iran could pull that off in days? Israel wasn't able to hide what they did either because Palestinians have phones, so where's the video evidence coming out of Iran? They disposed of 40,000 bodies and we can't see it from satellite images or phones? It's nonsense.
If you swallow the Zionist propaganda that Iran is somehow even more bloodthirsty than Israel, you're a Zionist.
Iran likely killed somewhere between Iran's official count of 3,000 people and the HRANA count of 7,000, a lot of them rioters that were armed by CIA/Mossad and were shooting cops and burning down government buildings. There were certainly unarmed people who were also shot, but the situation on the ground was chaotic and it's hard to distinguish armed targets during a riot.
The "protests" were the original US/Israeli plan to overthrow the government, and they failed. This war is the backup plan.
There weren't hostile enemy nations arming the protesters in Minneapolis, and they weren't hunting down cops and soldiers. 209 government-affiliated military and non-military personnel were killed during the riots. The situations are not so easily comparable.
This wasn't protest, it was attempted color revolution. Was Iran supposed to let them overthrow the government?
We know Mossad was involved, because they openly admitted it. Mossad’s official Farsi X (Twitter) account posted: “We are with you. Not only from a distance and verbally. We are with you in the field.” Mossad Director David Barnea’s gave a statement following the June 2025 strikes, warning that Israel “will continue to be there [in Iran], as we have been there.” Mike Pompao came out to say; “Happy New Year to every Iranian in the streets. Also to every Mossad agent walking beside them." We also know they helped distribute satellite internet connections for Starlink to evade media blackouts, and operated social media channels to help coordinate the riots.
CIA is less obvious, they actually have OpSec and know not to brag that they have agents in the streets. It's hard to believe that the CIA left Israel on its own to conduct this operation, though. Also, the rioters got their guns from somewhere.
Facts is we don't know the real number. So stop making baseless estimations
Well, the official number from the Iranian government is a little over three thousand. Is that an acceptable number of your own citizens to mow down during a protest?
If so, where is the cutoff where you have mowed down enough of your own citizens where it's unacceptable?
If not, why does it even matter, as we both agree they wontonly killed an unacceptable number of their own citizens, whether than number is three thousand or forty thousand?
We don't know the real numbers, end of the story
Nobody except Zionist trolls are claiming "40000000 dead protesters!"
40,000 my ass. Previously:
Actually, I'm pretty sure I heard that they were all crisis actors paid to be there by George Soros. He's Jewish, right?
We know very well that Israel want to extands it settler colonialism project. What do you expect Iran to do?
To accomplish the grester israel they need to destroy completly Iran who is the only country who is arming resistance groups
Israel is the real sponsor of terrorism and you are trying to whitewash it
Not just their head of state, also his daughter, son-in-law, and grandchild. Also multiple leaders from one chain of command across 3 layers.
That would be like killing Trump, Ivanka, Jared, their child, AND Vance, Mike Johnson, and McConnel all in a single night.
This seem like a fair trade. Just for funsies throw in Newsom.
