This is a nothing burger, just Iran showing face for the consulate bombing in Syria.

I doubt anything will happen further from this one, unless Israel decides to do something stupid.

Iran is also showing how though the Iron Dome certainly works, it's extremely costly. Those interception missiles cost roughly $100-$150K a pop to take down relative cheaply produced drones.

Good thing Israel has US taxpayers to pay for those :lol

Looks like they did the minimal amount to show they did something.

Was getting ready to clench my butthole for atmospheric oil/gas prices overnight there.

They're saying Biden talked him down from retaliating LUL

The New York Times: Netanyahu dropped retaliation against Iran after Biden call

'You got a win. Take the win': Joe Biden tells Netanyahu

Israel bombed Irans embassy last week in Syria and murdered 16+ consulate employees including a general

breaking multiple international laws to do so

Iran launched a wave of slow moving drones with ample heads up to Israel and the US, following international laws allowing them to defend themselves. (Iran has a right to defend itself)

The media and western leaders wants to pretend that this was out of the blue and an afront to international law completely ignoring Israel bombing an embassy... and the ongoing genocide they're "likely" carrying out

SkinnyPupp 04-14-2024 05:35 PM

You know you fucked up when people think Iran are the good guys KEKW

Well, people have been seeing the same news involving Israel for sooooo many years. At some point you lose sympathy when they seem to actively provoke nations they know will retaliate ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Right next door to the Iranian embassy was the Canadian one. It also received some damage.

It's disgusting that Israel blatantly broke international law by striking the Iran embassy (in Syria), and Western media only glossed over that fact (the breaking of international law) -- they did report the attack, but there wasn't much emphasis on how that broke international law.

Great68 04-15-2024 09:33 AM

Just to be technical, Israel didn't strike the Iranian embassy building itself. They took out the Iranian military building next to the embassy.

whitev70r 04-15-2024 09:38 AM

Yah and technically, Israel isn't killing innocent civilians in Gazaon purpose, they are going after Hamas leaders.

Badhobz 04-15-2024 09:38 AM

whatever man, these Israeli's have gone wayyy past the point of what is considered an "appropriate" response to that initial HAMAS attack.

This is basically warmongering, and they are actively fucking over Palestinians civilians with zero consideration.

Hondaracer 04-15-2024 09:56 AM

Their our allies bro, we should be carpet bombing Gaza with Trudeau behind the wheel of the 45 year old CF18’s!

Badhobz 04-15-2024 10:10 AM

god if they ever fucking start WW3, im sooooo gonna dodge the draft.

We’re all too fat and old so don’t worry about that.

Badhobz 04-15-2024 10:24 AM

well if its like Ukraine, they are enlisting poor schmucks up to 55. The average serving age in the Ukrainian military is 40+ right now

6793026 04-15-2024 10:28 AM

what 55+ WOW... you can barely get thru drill learning and basic training....
had no idea 40+ are the serving age... dangggg

Badhobz 04-15-2024 11:04 AM

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/u...%20signed%20it.

yeah its nuts, they lowered the enlistment age from 27 to 25 in order to grab more men.

Manic! 04-15-2024 11:22 AM

Anti Israel free Palestine protesters have blocked Delta port.

Badhobz 04-15-2024 11:31 AM

they've already cleared out. Fairweather protestors.

JDMDreams 04-15-2024 11:40 AM

When's the pro Iran protest in North Van:pokerface::lawl:

unit 04-15-2024 12:13 PM

if you think iranians give a shit about Iran (islamic republic), then you are dead wrong. iranians care about the lives of fellow countrymen, they are just hostages of their own government and couldn't care less about the geopolitical stuff their government is engaged in.

also it wasnt even the embassy that was bombed, it was like the building next to it. also the missles shot into israel were just for show. everyone knows the iron dome would ward off every single one.

EvoFire 04-15-2024 12:16 PM

I don't get the feeling that Iranians here care too much about their government back home. If anything they are more anti Iranian government and if anything happens it's the government's fault

Traum 04-15-2024 12:36 PM

I used to have an Iranian coworker, and she was super upset 1.5 yrs ago when Mahsa Amini died under Iranian police detention. If I am not mistaken, she even went to some of the local protests as well.

We don't talk much about politics at work, but the Mahsa Amini death was one of the few times when she mentioned anything political at the office.
