Do you even know what an ICBM is? Do you know that while Iran and Israel are a fair distance apart, they aren't on different continents.
Because NK has nukes. Nothing we can do about them. They can oppress people, kill as many people as they want in their country, nobody can do much about it.
Are you saying you want Iran to be more like North Korea?
All of Israel's neighbours have attacked Israel. Including Hamas. It was an absolutely insane act for Hamas do do this, it would obviously going to go very badly for the Palestinian people. But Hamas works for Iran, they don't work towards the interests of the Palestinian people. If you're pro-Iran, you're anti-Palestinian.
Everyone is responsible for their own actions. You're the only one that thinks Iran can fire rockets at civilian ship and shouldn't face consequences. You probably also think Hamas should be able to commit actual genocidal acts and there shouldn't be consequences.
Who protects the Iranian people from the psychopaths that build the nukes? The IRGC have already slaughtered tens of thousands of Iranians. You seem to think this is a good thing and they should be untouchable so they can kill as many people as they want. Maybe you're a psychopath too.
Do you know the distance between Iran and Israel? It's over a thousand miles, which would take their largest two stage ballistic missiles to reach, and would likely not have the sufficient payload capacity to deliver a nuclear warhead with its current range capability. The medium range two stage ballistic missiles are also very easy to intercept because their range restraints require a straight line.
And why didn't we invade them while they were developing the capability...?
Also, sounds kinda like a good reason for any country not aligned with western interest to develop nuclear weapons.....
And Israel has never attacked their neighbors? Is there a reason all their neighbors hate Israel, or is it just a coincidence?
I'm sure you know more than the Palestinians about who their real friends are.
Lol, extend that reasoning to why they would fire at the ships in the first place please.
Please.... Link one credible source that calls the Oct 7th attack genocidal in nature. Everyone is responsible for their own actions. You're the only one who thinks Israel can turn Palestine into a giant concentration camp and not face any consequences.
And now you're concerned for the Iranian people....sure. let's save the Iranians by bombing their schools, that's going to help.
Maybe if we didn't want to gain this advantage the US shouldn't have unilaterally ended the nuclear deal?
Also, nobody knows how many protestors were killed before the invasion the estimates vary pretty wildly. We won't likely know for years from know, and the war may have made an actual investigation impossible. It could very well be similar to the false reports of the Iraqi army slaughtering civilians in Kuwait before the US invasion.
I'm not saying I'm a dyed in cloth supporter of the IRGC, I just don't think the US has the right to act like it has the right to bomb any country it disagrees with.
Yeah, so... within range of an MRBM. Which Iran has. We know they have them because they've used them
Even if they don't, they've attacked Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, UAE, Oman, Saudi Arabia already. Even if they couldn't hit Israel they could definitely nuke Kuwait City or Dubai. You know, the countries they're currently firing missiles at?
So there's a country that is right now terrorizing all of it's neaighbours, and you want them to have nuclear weapons. You admit they could have the capability to hit the country. They've publicly stated they want to end it's existence. So you want to wait until they have the capability of nuking Tel Aviv before doing anything? Obviously if that happened Tehran would be nuked too. So you want millions of people to die. I'm pretty sure you must be a psychopath.
So you want a scenario where millions of people could die for what? Just shits and giggles?
Psychopath.
They have launched them from their allies neighboring countries, not something you would really want to do with a nuclear weapon.
And the US is the most belligerent county in the last 25 years, why haven't they nuked anyone? It's almost like nukes are used as deterrents and not for their offensive capabilities...
Israel already has nukes?
No, you just don't know what you are talking about.
The same way multiple US politicians have said we should turn different middle eastern countries into glass? It's almost like what individual politicians say represents official policy.
Which is why any suggestions they would use a nuclear weapon in an offensive capability is laughable.
Lol, you are just foaming at the mouth for any hyperbolic justification to kill more brown people.
Again, why didn't we intervene with North Korea when they were developing nukes? Because we knew they won't use them as an offensive weapon.
Again, you haven't proven the nuclear weapons are even capable of being delivered, that they even had actual intent on using them, and how what the US has done to even stop it from potentially happening.
You know what would have stopped all of this......? Doing literally nothing. We already had a nuclear deal that prevented Iran from producing any more nuclear materials. But, the president you seem to be tripping over yourself to suck off, unilaterally pulled out of the deal.
Go kick rocks you racist fucking boot lick.
