    Russia happy to see oil price going up and world distracted from its failed invasion of Ukraine.

  2. Oil price is up 5$ since the attack, please attack weapon factories etc and other infrastructure, not oil production.

    It will just aid Putin and Trump at this point.

    If there ever was an excuse to go for decapitation and denuclearisation, it would be now.

    Weird to think they haven’t already fully planned both options. I assume they’re assessing the damage and risk of escalation before their mission in southern Lebanon is complete.

    Mulling a timeline for response is more likely.

  5. Iran might think twice before launching further missiles. A lot of countries came to the defence of Israel and I doubt anyone will come to the defence of Iran.

    If there is a two state solution, will Iran stop trying to destroy the Jewish state?

  7. They have to do something to send a huge message, because you can’t normalise a country firing a couple hundred ballistic missiles at you.

  8. Please fucking do. No one will stop them. Nothing can stop them. Huge step towards peace in the region is capitulation of the Iranian regime. People need to understand that diplomacy has failed, and that nations on the Axis, particularly the poorer ones like Russia and Iran, are not open to dialogue and less and maximum achievement. They need active action against them in order to develop stability. For Russia, it is getting them out of Ukraine via arming of Ukraine. For Iran, in retaliation for their **unjust strike on Israel in a conflict that does not bind them to involvement by treaty**, it is crippling their ability to wage war.

    As much as I would prefer no retaliation and being happy with making their weapons ineffective, we all know this endless tic for tat will continue.

    Targeting oil rigs might slow down funding/finances, but it also affects the population not involved with military strikes and raising global oil prices. They can then paint themselves as victims, fix the damage and continue doing what they do.

    Hitting weapons depots, launch sites, weapons manufacturing would be sending the better message. It would be hard for the world (even those sympathetic to terrorist) to argue those are legitimate targets.

  10. All this shit a month before US elections… Worried this is the October surprise Trump was waiting for

    I’m afraid that attacking Irans oil sites could lose Harris the election. Which Bibi would be more than fine with.

    Can you imagine WWII in today’s day and age?? There would be a Facebook post about every planned attack.

  13. Im wondering if they’re saying this so Iran puts all their resources to defending those things so Israel can hit their actual targets. Who knows he’s what the actual tweets are, though.

  14. Every time you attack you give the receiver information and data.

    I think this is baiting. Iran wants a huge Israeli response in order to then put their bigger ballistic missiles on Tel Aviv and Jerusalem while playing the defending party. That will cause enough chaos to flip the tables and Russia can then move like a snake “easier” towards its goals.

    This is mostly being caused because Russia is fucked.

    Sure destabalize oil production more than it is and kill a majority of economies around the world. Smart move

  16. This play by play war still amazes me. In the not so distant past, news would come out AFTER the destruction and air strikes. Not while its happening

  17. “mulling it over” is something I do when I’m trying to figure out dinner.

    Not when I’m deciding if I want to launch retaliatory strikes against another nation lol.
