#1 LOL

#2 To which the answer is, ours wouldn't be flattened at all because we are not trying to hide terrorists inside of it.

#3 Like that Chinese Embassy in Belgrade in the 1990's.

Of course, diplomatic missions are just innocent. Not.

#4 Can we please stop pretending that Iran was not at war with Israel long before the consulate was bombed?

#5 Iran had to so they didn't lose face after their main guy there was turned into a baloney mist cloud.

But they did it... in the most inefficient way, after notifying Israel and countries their stuff would fly over... so everyone knew when they were coming and where they were coming from...

So face saved and Iran being sent back to default settings prevented.

#6 before the consulate was bombed?

I thought it was a cook tent.

#7 Darth you (like so many Israelis before Oct 7) projecting. Assuming they think like you do and have (roughly) the same goals.

#8 The non-Muslim world has been at war with Iran since they seized the American embassy back in Carter's time. By their doctrine everyone else is either a infidel or heretic Muslim and its only a matter of time they'll get around to you.

Peace is that quiet moment as both sides reload.

#9 As long as they are whacking the regime and minimizing civilian deaths, only the Berkeley folks and Michigan immigrants will be ticked. No need to carpet bomb the folks under the mullah subjugation.

#10 Oh they do Grom and have proven to be pretty clever at it. But this... was kabuki theater for the masses. I expect a nasty terror attack in 2-3 months instead.
