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

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.

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

It also received some damage. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/can...aged-1.7168176

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

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.

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.

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

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.
