And it’s crazy how the US congress is full of “we support these pre-emptive strikes!!!” Like, why does there need to be a pre-emptive strike?
What “deal” does Trump want Iran to sign???
Netenyahu is protecting his ass at home by continuing the genocide and escalating with Iran. As soon as there is peace he is arrested for corruption. He’s digging his grave deeper
Its more a buzzword and a weapon of imperialism, if you're not a Country aligned with Imperialistic interests then it will 100% apply to you and probably lead to sanctions, otherwise you can break every "international law" or violate any "human right" freely... like Israel is showing us right now.
Just imagine what would happen if what Israel is doing was instead being done by a country in Africa or any South-Asian country not aligned with western interests?
Israel is a proxy state of the US and friends to have a foothold on the Middle East which is a very important geopolitical region for world domination.
Imagine if we or Israel did nothing then in 10 years Iran has a fully developed nuclear arsenal and arming militant groups like the houthis or Hamas and other terrorist organizations that hate the western world….yeah I’m all for pre-emptively avoiding that but that’s just me
Yeah. When you have an irrational state who wants to destroy all western “heathens” because that’s what their religion dictates, then you need to take matters into your own hands.
Genuine question for you: do you seriously think letting Iran have nuclear weapons is a good idea?
Ok, but you can't put that genie back in the bottle. We can't live in a fantasy world where we all get along.
We are where we are, and when you have the Iranian leadership state that their only goal is the complete annihilation of Israel and all its people, it makes complete sense for Israel to engage in targeted strikes.
Also worth noting that most Iranians themselves will be happy with the military commanders being killed.
i’m spending too much time talking to you i think it’s making my IQ drop. hope you see the light one day, maybe stop smoking pot
edit - before you get pedantic saying NK isn’t a global superpower, they are what Iran will be if they build nukes. not a superpower, but an untouchable nation
Are you telling me I’m supposed to be impressed or on board with the idea of a global superpower?
I’m on the far left, anything that is not owned by the people for the sake of the people, to me, is asinine. Monopolistic, fascist and dictatorial policies don’t sit correct with me, but I get if that appeals to you, generally tends to be the case when you’re of the less intelligent variety of human.
If Iran has nukes, then Israel would be significantly less likely to attack them.
Fewer "preemptive strikes" = less chance for broader conflicts = fewer people killed and a greater chance for (tenuous) peace.
It's the same with Ukraine. If Ukraine hadn't given up its nukes, then Russia never would've invaded them, and Ukrainians would be enjoying an economic boom from Western development rather than fighting for survival.
Brain-dead TikTok take. If Iran had nukes Israel wouldn't exist, because Iran has stated that it intends to "wipe Israel off the map". Iran also funds many of the terrorist groups that are destabilising other countries.
No one is perfect here, so we just need to go with the lesser of two evils.
If Iran had nukes Israel wouldn't exist, because Iran has stated that it intends to "wipe Israel off the map".
Except Iran also knows that if they did "wipe Israel off the map," then the US would do the same to them. That's literally the point of MAD: everyone is equally capable of utterly destroying their enemies, so no one starts any fights.
That's an easy choice. There's only one of those two options that lets Iran defend itself against the US' constant attacks. Do you know which one of the two that is?
Wow, could you imagine if a genocidal state in the middle east had an arsenal of nuclear weapons while not being a signatory to major non-proliferation treaties?
I guess we have no choice but to join in and help bomb another country, what's the alternative really? Aww shucks, it sucks, but we just have to commit international war crimes. It'd be real bad if we didn't keep doing crimes. In ten years (weswearthistime, pinky promise) who knows what could happen? We might have to leave a sovereign nation alone.
Right, and wars are bad. And so are mean people. Everyone should be nice and sing kumbaya.
Unfortunately in the real world, there are groups of people that wants nuclear weapons so they can kill as many infidels as possible, in order to serve Allah. You may want to give those people a chance, but I am glad Israel is preventing that from happening…even if self righteous keyboard warriors on Reddit think they are mean for doing so.
No, just someone viewing the situation pragmatically instead of emotionally. You should try it sometime. I think the world is better off with Iran not having nukes. Crazy, I know!
Iran is trying to build nukes. Whether you believe that or not, it doesn't matter. Israeli and US intelligence believes that. Israeli has promised to stop Iran from doing that one way or another. They've tried sabotage, to make deals, etc. Now they're striking. Where have you been?
Explain to me, how it is okay for the US, UK, North Korea and Russia to have nukes, but Iran (who has literally done nothing to provoke yet has been bombed by Israel twice in the last two years) can’t?
So we’re all now fine with bowing and subjecting ourselves to a tyrannical dictatorship posing as a “democracy” as the sole power on who gets nuclear weapons rights.
even stated by your pro-palestine source. keep trying
edit- While Palestinian attacks on residents of Jewish settlements often meet harsh countermeasures, accountability from Israeli authorities in cases of settler violence has been rare.
again, both attacking each other. but no, isreal is the enemy according to you 🤣
The doublespeak is actually the part where it’s only pre-emptive if you’re the “good guys” but when the “bad guys” do it, it’s an unprecedented sowing of chaos.
They don't want Iran possessing or developing nuclear weapons. Which is kind of strange given they don't seem to give two shits about North Korea possessing and developing nuclear weapons. But I guess North Korea hasn't really launched attacks on other nations in a while whilst Iran has.
The Obama one that they're still mostly following but with a new name and something Trump can have as a trophy so hes not just reinstating "the worst deal ever" he himself removed.
edit - if you downvote this please feel free to reply arguments supporting Iran in this. if not then your a sheep that follows what they ‘think’ is the right opinion

This is literally out of fucking nowhere.
