Self Defense

Zionist Corporate media framing this as a "preemptive strike" is Orwellian bullshit.

Trump got out of the Iranian nuclear deal in his first term specifically so either Israel and/or the USA would have a "reason" to attack and go to war.
Why do you need "Zionist corporate" in that post? Any media calling this a "preemptive strike" are pushing a bs narrative.
- Because corporate media in the West, especially the US and UK complies with Zionist talking points.
Irans going to invade by paragliders launched from Damavand!???!

Yeah.......

Grok received a big "both sides" patch recently
- I wouldn't know I don't follow twitter. Just found it funny that someone asked it to explain in pirste speak

They have the right to defend themselves, right?

Is this real?

Me when the #1 terrorism sponsor doesn't get to have nukes:

The US and Israel already has nukes, they don't need to get them
- The US is the #1 sponsor, not Israel
- Cute and original, keep it up and you'll have a full comedy career :)
Huh? They have thousands of nukes
- They invented the nukes.
Step 1: Accuse nation of having nukes
Step 2.1: If they do not have nukes, invade them and dont even apologise for the death of hundreds of thousands
Step 2.2: If they acquired nukes by the time you accused them, sanction them to shit and use media to turn the land into a dystopian hellscape akin to North Korea or worse
Step 3: Create puppet regime if they ever fall, replace leaders with those that support laissez-faire
- Worked with Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, North Korea, they attempted it with China and now it is time for Iran
usa does have nukes tho 😎

Neither did the Palestinians.

I mean, they kinda did

they wanted to make WMDs first

Israel has been saying this about Iran since the 1990s. All the nuclear inspectors say that Iran is following the standards.
Edit: see below. Some very recent reporting shows that they may not have been compliant (they were before). We will probably need more evidence to determine if they recently were not.

Israel has a larger nuclear arsenal right now.
- Israel doesn't fund terrorism like iran
Israel is widely believed to possess nuclear weapons. Estimates of Israel's stockpile range between 90 and 400 nuclear warheads, and the country is believed to possess a nuclear triad of delivery options: by F-15 and F-16 fighters, by Dolphin-class submarine-launched cruise missiles, and by the Jericho series of intermediate to intercontinental range ballistic missiles.
Israel maintains a policy of deliberate ambiguity, never officially denying nor admitting to having nuclear weapons, instead repeating over the years that "Israel will not be the first country to introduce nuclear weapons to the Middle East". However, in November 2023, amid the Gaza war, the junior Heritage Minister Amihai Eliyahu publicly called for dropping a nuclear bomb over Gaza, which some took to be a tacit admission that Israel possesses such a capability.
I wouldn't be so sure of that.

Doesn't Iran regularly shoot missiles and drones at Israel? I'm not really up to speed but I'm sure there was something about an Iron Dome?

I might be wrong in this, but I'm pretty sure it's exceedingly rare for Iran to directly fire missiles at Israel, it's usually Iran-supplied proxies doing it (such as Hezbollah). It'd be like making the argument that anyone at war with a US backed nation/faction has a carte blanche to attack America
- Two of them. Israel is fucking awful but that doesn't mean I'm going to support authoritarian Iran.

- Right, and that's an argument that could and should be made imo.
No, that is the people Israel keeps in their concentration camp.
No
