i just woke up from the explosions what the hell
please stay safe comrade 
thanks hopefully israel will fall and we don't have to worry about being bombed anymore.
Here we go. Now did they have an ounce of sense and just pound the desert and a few unimportant places and claim otherwise in their propaganda so Iran has an out not to retaliate in kind? Or more likely did these deranged zionists hit important things and Iran has to hit back even harder and kill US troop scum manning their air defenses as well? At which point the US can either leave with its tail between its legs like Reagan did Lebanon in the 80s or escalate in some way including potentially war.
I hope the people of Iran remain safe regardless of outcome. I hope the colonizers of the zionist occupation continue to feel and be very unsafe as they should be until they stop their genocide and dismantle their apartheid regime.
I just want these fucking people to be able to live their lives. These genocidal freaks need their capacity for violence wrested from them because they are making hell on Earth by hurting vulnerable people - especially children.
Were they actual military targets or just apartment buildings and hospitals again?
you forget that those hospitals are hamasbollah
apparently they struck "across the city of Tehran" according to US state tv news
timed with Game 1 of World Series?
Not how I was expecting to get reminded the world series started
fuck me i already bought a fifth of gin planning on drinking tonight. god damn israel and the united states
I'm trying to save some of my whisky for when Biden croaks in a month.
Fuck
I knew I shouldn't have wished to live in interesting times
It sort of bothers me how wishing works.
"I want something to be a little better."
Your suffering shall be immense
Like okay? Fuck you, asshole genie.

So like, this is the end of Israel yeah? I just don't see how the Israeli state can continue


British Braaaaapcasting Corporation and all they do is broadcast fart noises
So good bye Gulf state/American oil refineries and hello potential oil crisis 2.0? or would this be an exaggeration?
It seems like it's a bit early to tell. Iran doesn't want to escalate, if these attacks are limited they might not up the ante, like last time.
presstv is playing this attack down, saying limited damage and their air defence did their jobs.
It would have been less humiliating for the zionist regime to have just apologized and did nothing.
Seems like they did essentially 0 damage, thankfully for the people of Tehran. Apparently they might have hit an essentially empty rev guard training base lol.
i was here when israel decided to go out guns blazing
Not going to know the extent of this for a bit and theres word a lot of misinfo going around, we're in the fog right now.
Here we go again 
Very, very bad.
Say the thing Bart!
There's no way this could end badly
Hurray!!

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
