Iran has hit Israel with drone strikes and missiles. US, UK, and Jordan are intervening and shooting down Iranian drones. When war is not stopped, it will expand

No one should be shocked at Iran’s attack on Israel. The Netherlands, France, Norway, Mexico, and Czechia have condemned Iran’s drone strikes on Israel, but to these countries, what was Iran to do when Israel bombed an Iranian embassy in Syria killing over a dozen leaders and staff. If another country bombed one of their embassy, they would also respond to the attack.

Biden warned Iran, “Don’t.” Yet the US has bombed several countries in retaliation to the bombing and killing of a US base in Jordan and the deaths of 3 soldiers.

Is Iran not allowed to respond but the US and all other western allied countries are able to respond? It is a sovereign state and that is allowed to defend itself just like any state would want to defend itself.

Does Iran have human rights abuses? Yes.

Do all of these states have human rights abuses? Yes.

We have to move away from the “good guy” narrative and understand that this is an equal playing field of “bad guys”. There are no “good guys”. If there were, this country would have been the first to sanction and embargo all of the “bad guys” involved in Israel’s genocide of Gaza. The US wants to enter this war and try to still claim the role of the “good guy” when the US is the one that is arming and funding a genocide and providing the missiles to attack other countries so that they can fight the “bad guy” to prove to the world they can still carry the mantle of the “good guy”, all the while being the orchestrator of the entire thing.

Iran warned the US and other countries that if they interfered with Iran’s military response to Israel’s destruction of their embassy and killing Iranian military leaders and state employees, that Iran would interpret this as aggression and expand their attacks to those countries as well.

It’s not just Iran that is bombing Israel, but Iraq, Yemen, and Lebanon are also attacking Israel.

It’s hypocritical of any leader to condemn Iran when they would have done worse if they were in Iran’s place. It’s mind-boggling to witness so many leaders and nations that do nothing regarding Israel’s atrocities against Palestinians but will call out Iran. This shows the depth of US influence and fear over these countries and leaders.

When the US said they had nothing to do with the bombing of the Iranian embassy, it meant that they had everything to do with it. It is obvious that the US pushed Israel to bomb the Iranian embassy. The US has been trying to pull Iran into war since Israel began their genocide of Gaza. Biden wants a war. He wants to win his reelection. Israel wants a genocide. Israel wants bombs to continue their genocide and the US has those bombs. How does a country get more bombs when it is obvious to the entire world they are committing a genocide? Commit more war crimes and destroy an embassy (because no one has held them accountable so why not?) and do the dirty work for the country that supplies your arms, the US.

Now the US, UK, and Jordan has ignored the warning from Iran about protecting Israel from Iran’s air strikes. If these countries wanted it to end, they would have left this to Israel because it was Israel that bombed the Iranian embassy. Israel has their own defense system to protect from missiles. Why would they choose to offer military support if they are all not willing to go to war with Iran and members of the Axis of Resistance?

It’s because the US is willing to go to war.

It’s because the US is wanting to go to war.

Who will attack who next? How long will these attacks go on for? How many countries will be involved?

Remember that this began because Israel bombed the Iranian embassy in Syria. Israel chose to do this. Israel has to handle the response that comes with that attack. Today they got the response. Israel did this at the urging of the US. Now they have expanded the war so that they can retain power, which was the point of expanding the war beyond Gaza.

From the river to the sea, may Palestine be free. May the whole world be free.
