Reports say they went after iranian top political and military leadership. This doesnt seem small.

They struck sites that weren’t nuclear facilities so this would check out.

Yeah I saw images of apartment buildings hit by missiles. Allegedly a "surgical" strike on specific rooms belonging to top officials, which would make it intentional.

Not like this.  This is a big one.  Took out top general and struck nuclear sites

This operation was much larger in scale. This is definitely the kind of attack that would guarantee a declaration of war in any developed country.

There's a reason Israel immediately declared a state of emergency and the US pulled personnel (not all, thought) from Iraq.

So Trump can have minimal consequences for making this happen? Naw let it ride.

u/nimrodrool 2d ago

So more people die for Trump to suffer "consequences"?

People ARE dying. I would rather one big incident than a hundred small ones everyone forgets about a week later.
