  1. It’s weird because all their actions say the opposite…….🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

    Clearly lying. They are just waiting until they finally got the nuke and then all hell breaks loose. Remember all their members in the Parliament keeps chanting for the destruction of Israel.

    Maybe he doesn’t want his mobile phone to explode and rip half his head off? I think Israel’s strikes in Lebanon and Iran made a lot of bearded guys think twice, as they realise that the dying will not only be done by their lower ranks and proxies, but by them personally.

    “We don’t want actual war, just proxy bullshit. All those terrorist orgs we created and funded are just pranks. Also, please unsanction us our economy is shit and we can’t get helicopter parts”

  5. Is he sure? Because after arming and training proxies to attack Israel, it kinda sounds like he wants war with Israel.

    The way Iran functions is ‘interesting.’

    The President in Iran is not everything. They are elected.

    The ‘supreme leader’ is actually the head of state. We’re kind of used to heads of state being a king of figure head. Like the Royalty in England is just a figure head mainly. The Supreme leader is not elected like the President it. It’s an Islamic council for lack of a better word and they are very powerful and in charge of the military and can do a lot in terms of impacting the bureaucracy.

    It’s entirely possible, the president doesn’t want any war. However, if the Supreme leader wants war and wants to fund proxies and other organizations, they will.

    When it comes to foreign relations in Iran, the President isn’t the guy you really need to deal with.

  7. Because that means Israel would actually strike back, instead of just being bullied by the proxies. 

  8. So stop launching rocket at Israel, like Hezbollah has been doing on a weekly basis?

    Stop funding Hamas and firing rockets and invading Israel?

    Stop shooting missiles at Israel?

    Note the pattern here yet?

  9. Dude is powerless!
    The big old fart has all the power and he wants war but he’s too scared to escalate!

  10. Iran gives weapons and funding to Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthis to attack Israel. Now they are obligated to attack otherwise they won’t get more funding. Of course people of Gaza, Lebanon, and Yemen will suffer for it, while Iran says nothing to do with them.

  11. It seems pretty clear from their reactions to previous Israeli action , that they don’t want an all out war which would damage them directly, but they do want as much influence as possible in the area through proxies and to maintain violent pressure on Israel through those proxies.

    I believe they don’t want a direct war. I also believe they want to continue their proxy war.

    A line needs to be drawn. An attack by your proxy is an attack by you.

    They don’t because actual war degrades the Iranian capability. Iran’s “nuclear option” and threat has always been that if the West attacks in that Hezbollah will “blow their load” and go full 300k missiles launched at Israel’s cities. Degrading that capability leaves them open to major attacks from the West. A portion of this might be abrogated if Iran can succeed in a mutual strategic defense agreement with Russia – historically however the Russians haven’t been good partner to Iran, and economically are a competitor.

    Israel has clearly seen weakness in the Iranian responses over the last couple of years or so and was probably shocked of both the incompetence from the Iranian response to the IRGC killings in Syria (which likely lead to a go-ahead on Haniyeh) and after that the almost complete lack of response to the killings of Haniyeh and Shukr. This probably led Israel to decide that there was minimal risk in engaging Hezbollah and Iran, which led to the current escalation. So while Iran may not want war with Israel, the Israeli’s may feel that this is the perfect chance to engage Iran.

  14. Perhaps, then, Iran should stop its declared and permanent war on Israel.

    What Iran *actually* wants is to be able to continue to attack Israel, directly and through proxies, with Israel not attacking back.

  15. What horrible hegemony. Every single person on here knows about how they say one thing and then do the other. Its quite obviously clear, they want to skip the war part and will do anything in their power for Israel to just die. And to be honest, If they’re not the American,Canadian,European or even South American Jewish people I can’t speak too highly of them. They always gave me an attitude problem too. Which is a huge common problem in the middle east. arrogance and dishonesty is through the roof without penalty.

  16. I also heard, he called his cell network provider and canceled his cellphone plan, and bought pigeons

  17. Of course iran doesn’t want war with israel. That’s why they have so many proxies instead. Why die in your own war when you can have someone else do it for you

  18. Well, maybe start feeding your people. Stop killing them for not wearing the right clothes or having the wrong thoughts.

    Amd here an idea…stop funding Hamas, Hezbollah, and all these other terrorists groups.
