Suspected Israeli warplanes bombed Iran’s embassy in Syria on Monday, a marked escalation in a war pitting Israel against its regional adversaries, and Tehran said the strike killed seven military advisers including three senior commanders.
Reuters reporters at the site in the Mezzeh district of Damascus saw emergency workers clambering atop rubble of a destroyed building inside the diplomatic compound, adjacent to the main embassy building. Emergency vehicles were parked outside. An Iranian flag hung from a pole by the debris.
Okay, isn’t bombing an embassy an absolutely insane escalation? Even throughout WW1, WW2, or any other war in the past century, no country was crazy enough to undermine the sanctity of diplomacy like this and antagonize everyone.
The only other time this has happened in history was when NATO bombed a Chinese embassy in Belgrade in 1999, and even here the US — the most war-mongering nation on the planet — apologized, said it was a mistake (though it definitely wasn’t — it was removed from the list of prohibited targets beforehand and struck 3 separate times), and paid for it to be rebuilt. Israel is completely unhinged.

Yep. There’s literally two countries in the world who could get away with it without causing a major diplomatic crisis if not downright war: Israel and the US.
The US has commissioned entire offices devoted to ensuring striking an embassy doesn’t happen again. Millions are spent every year to update the (surprisingly ever-changing) locations of embassies around the world so they don’t make the same mistake in the future. Whatever the thought process was that “allowed” a strike then has been eliminated and then some.
Little nuance here, Syria and Iran don’t get along, and Israel doesn’t have any particular problem with Syria, they have a problem with a nominally Syrian area controlled by an Iranian backed militia. Syria will do nothing, probably thinks this is funny. Iran might.
Iran and Syria are extremely close partners despite some ideological differences, and “israel” has consistently supported ISIS and other terrorist groups against the Syrian government (Israel’s Intelligence Chief, Herzi Halevy: “We will do everything to make sure ISIS does not lose in Syria.”) so idk where you got these ideas from.
Reading the papers for years. You seem to think the Israelis were supplying Hezbollah in Syria and Lebanon, instead of Iran.

Its gonna be different when its not a people living in a concentration camp retaliating against Israel. This has the potential to escalate very quickly.
So they aren’t even going to say why they hit an embassy. Thats ballsy. Is this the last straw that starts the secret cogs turning to get rid of top leadership. If anytime to start it would be now to prevent further escalation.
They did it to try to broaden the conflict in hopes of drawing in direct military support from their western allies.
Ding ding ding
Correct
Bill Maher:What is your secret? Netanyahu:We have America

Yes, i am only endorse this because the generals werent white, not because the IRGC are systematically oppressing an entire country and have routinely bombed, tortured and murdered ethnic minorities in at home and abroad. Surely this is only motivated by racism.
