Israel’s foreign minister threatened Wednesday that his country’s forces would strike Iran directly if the Islamic Republic launched an attack from its territory against Israel, as tensions between the rival powers flare following the killings of Iranian generals in a blast at the Iranian consulate in Syria.
“If Iran attacks from its territory, Israel will respond and attack in Iran,” Israel Katz said in a post on X in both Farsi and Hebrew.
The remarks came after Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei reiterated early Wednesday a promise to retaliate against Israel over the attack on its consulate in Damascus earlier this month.
Israel attacks Iran, then immediately tries to claim they’re the victim like every other fascist group.
It’s fucking disgusting Biden is willing to risk letting trump win the election because Biden won’t stop supporting this genocide none of his voters want.
He cares more about Israel than America.
Iran backs proxies who attack Israel, then immediately tries to claim they’re the victim like every other fascist group.

Israel is starting unecessary fights that it will insist the U.S. back them on. We need to let Israel start and finish their own wars without us.
We were there to protect them against unprovoked attacks, not to help them start wars. It’s time to end this extremely expensive one-sided relationship.
Iran has 85 million people, Israel has around 10 million. I guess they’re assuming big daddy Biden has their back, despite Netanyahu repeatedly ignoring him.
They don’t share a border, so they will fight either completely aerial or on foreign lands like Iraq. Population is important of course but not on small scale aerial skirmishes.
They don’t share a border,
I understand that but Netanyahu seems hellbent on starting a regional war. If this escalates I’m not sure that the lack of a shared border is going to mean a whole lot. It’s still a small country, hiding behind the US, picking fights with much bigger nations.
A significant portion of the destruction will come from ballistic missiles.
As far as aerial combat, it will depend on who will let who fly over their respective countries. I can’t see a situation where Israel and Iran go at it directly and it doesn’t escalate to a regional war. I doubt it will remain between just those two countries for long.
They’re going to get shut down in Gaza, so Netanyahu needs another distraction from his corruption trial.
I wonder if a war between Israel and Iran would distract Israel enough to slow down the Gaza genocide.
I can see the winks every time they talk to each other
Well, what a pickle Iran had put themselves in.
First they promised to punish Israel with “brave men”, only to try to use the Palestinian suffering as a shield to get out of threats they didn’t think through before making them. Now Israel responds, as expected, that they are not backing down an inch.
One might wonder that if Iran was so keen on helping the Palestinians and having all those “brave men”, why not attack Israel to help the Palestinians instead of hiding behind their suffering like a coward?
Yo, Iran… Maybe not sponsor terrorism and maybe not escalate the situation further? Maybe actually let your love for the Palestinians, and not your hate for Israel, guide you?
Braindead take thanks for sharing.
Truth down voted by offended tankies, who are so anti West and anti Israel that they will side with a literal autocratic theocratic terrorist state that kills its own people and brutally subjugates its women and dissenters and sponsors terrorism all across that region. It’s apparent that these stupid fucks have never lived in an Islamic country.
“literal autocratic theocratic terrorist state that kills its own people and brutally subjugates dissenters” An apt description of Israel.
I thought they were describing the states
Israel has fired on Iran and Syria. Criticizing Israel for fanning the flames of war is justified. Iran threatening to respond with violence is justified. Talking like an internet tough-guy is stupid.
Once someone uses the word “tankies” it’s obvious they are a nazi who can’t stop sucking destiny’s balls.
