I'm finding it hard to find concise info on what's been going on in/around Iran. Can anyone throw a brief timeline of events for me? Pretty pretty please?

Edi: thanks for all the comments and answers, appreciate it!

Iran has been a loud chihuahua for a long time and wants to destroy Israel for legacy reasons. In order to save face, every now and then they boost something but they’re careful to not actually kill anyone, especially Americans. Israel finally got sick of it and shoot rockets at Tehran and Irans nuclear facilities, because they were getting dangerously close to making a nuclear bomb. Iran retaliated by shooting rockets at Israel. Trump wanted to save face and threw bombs on a nuclear facility, claiming they’re destroyed. This is not confirmed by the international nuclear committee. Iran retaliated by shooting rockets at U.S. bases in Qatar and Iraq, being careful not to kill any U.S. citizens. Trump then suddenly said please ceasefire, and both nations declared victory for themselves and stopped shooting rockets at each other.

Edit: these replies are partially BONKERS. Never expected such responses on lemmy.

I’m biased against every single of these countries. Iran, Israel and US are all being equally stupid and almost equally evil.

Too true. It's depressing that this is the world we're living in.
