I see a lot of nonsense in the comments.
Here are the facts:
1. Iran may or may not have been building a nuclear weapon. US intelligence says they were at least 3 years away.
2. Iran did not attack Israel. Israel attacked Iran.
3. Iran did not attack the US. The US bombed Iran only because Israel asked the US to do so.
- geeunits 1y agoHas everyone forgotten the music festival massacre?
- austin-cheney 1y agoNot Iran related and not US related.
- geeunits 1y agoAh, it happened in a vacuum -- got it.
- austin-cheney 1y agoThat is what all the intelligence says. I am unclear what you are hinting at.
- tgv 1y agoHamas was installed, backed and supplied by Iran.
- austin-cheney 1y agoPlease stop making shit up. Hamas was voted into power. Iran had nothing to do with the Oct7 attack on Israeli civilians. They were not part of the planning, had no prior knowledge of it, and supplied no material support for it. Actually, let’s take this to the next level. Iran did provide financial support to Hamas. So, did Israel. * https://www.timesofisrael.com/for-years-netanyahu-propped-up-hamas-now-its-blown-up-in-our-faces/ https://www.timesofisrael.com/for-years-netanyahu-propped-up... * https://www.firstpost.com/explainers/qatar-sent-millions-to-hamas-for-years-and-netanyahu-encouraged-it-heres-why-13495242.html https://www.firstpost.com/explainers/qatar-sent-millions-to-... * https://www.businessinsider.com/israel-security-forces-escorted-suitcases-cash-hamas-qatar-report-2023-12 https://www.businessinsider.com/israel-security-forces-escor...
- regularjack 1y agoNo one can possible forget, given that we're reminded daily of it, you know, by the ongoing genocide.
- belter 1y agoUkraine should learn. This how you do it. Bribe enough US Senators and the US will do anything for you. Even put US military lives in danger.
- zac23or 1y ago> Iran did not attack Israel. Israel attacked Iran. Hamas, Houthis and Hezbollah are supported by Iran.
- austin-cheney 1y agoThis is a stupid argument. It’s chaos theory. Iran receives support from Russia and China. Did Russia and China attack Israel? No, they didn’t and neither did Iran. Most of the weapons used by Mexican drug cartels come directly from the US. That does not mean the US supports the actions of the drug cartels.
- tim333 1y agoIndeed the US does not support the drug cartels, Iran does support Hezbollah. They are different. Wikipedia: > Hezbollah's 1985 manifesto outlined its key objectives, which include expelling Western influence from the region, destroying Israel, pledging allegiance to Iran's supreme leader...
- austin-cheney 1y agoWhat does that have to do with Israel bombing Iran right now? I just see people performing absurd mental gymnastics to invent unfounded qualifications for going to war.
- tim333 1y agoIran has declared it wants Israel destroyed, attacked it via it's proxies and been working on making weapons grade uranium. Israel not wanting to be destroyed or nuked has arranged to attack Iran's nuke facilities. Is it that complicated?
- austin-cheney 1y agoYes, it is complicated. Israel says the same things and now its primary proxy just bombed Iran. Iran did not initiate these attacks. Israel did. Iran does not have nuclear weapons and is years away from having them, but Israel has them. When you peel back the baseless rhetoric this issue is completely one sided.
- tayistay 1y agoRe 2: Iran previously launched drones and missiles at Israel about a year ago. See https://apnews.com/article/strait-of-hormuz-vessel-33fcffde2d867380e98c89403776a8ac https://apnews.com/article/strait-of-hormuz-vessel-33fcffde2...
- austin-cheney 1y agoThat was in response to an Israeli attack on Iran. If you really want to dig that up then it’s twice now in the recent term that Israel attacked Iran without provocation.
