I'm glad that the US is putting pressure on Iran against a wider war. I wish we had that kind of leverage with our ally Israel.
Iran has a right to defend itself.
Yeah I guess, but they don't have a right to attack Israel... which is what they did.
Israel has struck spots inside Iran 20 times in the last three years, and killed their head diplomat on purpose. All without provocation. Iran is defending itself and has shown more restraint than Israel or the US has ever.
Iran is pretty fucking transparent with their goal: to destroy the Zionist entity. The posters literally say "wiping Israel off the face of the Earth is just the beginning". And no, they don't mean "dismantle the state mechanism" like some users here claim. They very much mean it in the "death to the Jews" way.
Framing it as purely defensive is just lying
History did not start on 10/7, and Zionism as a concept SHOULD be destroyed. Zionism is just another enthno fascist ideology.
And no the country with a large Jewish population that has guaranteed seats in parliament does not want to kill all Jews.
