Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Framed as a strike on “evil,” Washington and Tel Aviv’s attacks leave Iran with few off-ramps. Tehran’s incentives now point toward escalation as a matter of survival.

Killing Supreme Leader did not boost US/Israeli poll numbers in region, including in Iran.

Hezbollah now angry, and Israel just bombed Beirut.
US marines in Pakistan had to kill 22 people.
Iraq is most likely to have every American killed, and they would welcome Iranian military to walk in and do it. Every US occupied colonial pig fucker government in the Gulf, doesn't even pretend to be a democracy, but lose popularity more by siding with US/Israel.

The plan, trust Bibi and lose the middle east. Either Iran magically embraces Bibi's favorite leader, or Iran gets destroyed a bit, then detstroyed again some year later. The plan is to divide middle east more.
