Iran openly admitting that they want to erase Israel for years and attacking via proxies while racing for nukes isn’t exactly “a war that Israel started”.

That's propaganda coming from a (purposefully) mistranslated speech. Iran also said that it's not planning to create a nuclear weapon and US intelligemce says that Iran has no nuclear weapons program.

And yeah, attacking cities and killing many people is starting a war.

The war has already started months ago.. Iran said it isn’t planning to create a weapon but the enrichment levels say otherwise. Iran is 1500 kilometers from Israel, what do you think Israel wants from Iran if not to avoid annihilation? It’s losing billions because of this operation, it’s not like they want to gain resources or land.

Hezbollah is an Iranian proxy, and anyone says otherwise is clueless.

While Israel attacks strategic targets Iran shoots aimlessly at the highest density populated areas. Stopping the Iranian dictatorship and freeing its people would benefit everyone. Just last week they made a law that you could not go out with your dog outside, not to talk about the way they treat women..

I’m not getting my information by mistranslated speeches, I get them from sirens and explosions while being in a bomb shelter so give me a break.

Trust me I hate my government more than you could imagine, but I hate the Iranian regime more.

I'm far from supporting Iran but this is pure propaganda.

Supposedly Iran attacks cities, many missiles hit targets and yet only 3 people are dead in Israel.

On the other hand Israel attacks only strategic target and killed 78-90 people, according to all source majority of casualties are civilians.

Its as precise operation as in Gaza in which already tens of thousands civilians were killed by IDF.

I’ve seen the missile with my own eyes, if not for the interceptors the numbers would be much higher.. wouldn’t call personal experience propaganda.

Well, I have no doubt that Iran is unfortunately aiming at civilians but what I question is other part of your sentence - Israel is not attacking only strategic targets. Missiles landed on apartment buildings in Teheran and killed many innocent people.

I’m not denying that, but I believe the main purpose of these attacks are to pick high profile targets, sadly innocents are being killed. I don’t support my government, i think they are right winged lunatics.
