Delbow Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 I despise the Iranian regime, let's get that out of the way first. I've supported some of the victims of that regime to settle in the UK, I know what they're like. When Hamas carried out their atrocity on 7 October, world leaders were unanimous that Israel had the right to defend itself. I agree, but most people in the UK seem to agree that Israel has gone much, much further than simply defending itself. This includes an attack on Iran's consulate in Syria, killing several members of Iran's armed forces. Now the same world leaders who said Israel had the right to defend itself are saying Iran should not retaliate against Israel. This is surely total hypocrisy. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Cid Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 This all stems from the USAs illogical defence of Israel, what ever they do. The UK follows suit, although we are unlikely to intervene, a peacekeeper is needed in Israel/Palestine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carosio Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 As I understand it, it was Iran's military headquarters next door to the embassy. Bear in mind that Iran wants to wipe Israel off the map, so in that sense they are already at war. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see your point but Israel didn't invade Iran, slaughter loads, rape and torture families then take hostages and drag them through the street whilst fellow citizens spat on them.

Keep in mind that Iran is supporting proxy wars in the region by funding Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthi's and supporting the Syrian regime. Hezbollah attacks on Israel have increased since the Hamas attack and Israel's response to it. That said, I do think the attack on the Iranian consulate was Netanyahu poking Iran to discourage the US from pressuring Israel to provide food/etc. to Palestinians in Gaza.
