I have my doubts that the current Iranian regime could survive a long war. If I had to pick a major world country to have a revolution or civil war in the near future, it would be Iran. There is a lot of public anger at their own government and there have been protests going on for years. I don't think their population would let them get dragged into a long, protracted war. Getting into a conflict now could be a last ditch effort to distract the population, but it could also backfire tremendously.

No US ally will get “what’s coming to them “ no matter how much you may hope it happens

What’s the point of launching missiles that take hours to arrive ?

Iran has chosen war.

Time to put an end to their nuclear ambitions, and hopefully their entire fascist government.

To make it look like your responding without escalating in a way that causes war...

Hopefully Biden is not so stupid as to let that happen, but his judgment when it comes to Israel is compromised.

These headlines look too much like the start of WWIII...
Internal Iran media is bragging about how everyone in Israel is cowering and they've shut down schools. That's all they needed to accomplish to save some face.

Let's hope so. And that Israel doesn't sustain enough damage to feel they have to respond in an escalation. I don't trust either government not to do something stupid.

It was an embassy, I believe, which is even worse.

It would be nicer if Iran would stop funding the crazy Islamic terrorists bent on killing every Jew.

This is pretty gross. You essentially are cheering on what will result in mass civilian deaths. You can be better

Technically it was the consulate next to the embassy, which was also the headquarters for Quds in the region, which is an internationally recognized terrorist organization despite also being a branch of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. Many terrorist plots were coordinated by the staff in that building, including embassy attacks in Azerbaijan and an attempted attack on the Saudi embassy.

So Iran fired 100+ drones and about 100 ballistic missiles at Israel by all accounts less than 1% hit the ground, seems like a failure but had those missiles been nuclear exploding 3000 feet above the ground we'd be talking about a nightmare.

I fully expect Israel to launch a large attack on Iran's nuclear sites in the coming days.

If anything, Iran is going to get what’s coming to them, as they are the biggest destabilizing force in the region.

Funny how no one called out this post.....or the dozens upon dozens of posts that cheered on the terrorist attack in Russia.

It's within the embassy complex, which is a diplomatic building, but whatever the case, it's clearly the reason Iran retaliated.
