The US attack on Iran was wrong but don't forget that Iran loves to lob ballistic missiles at Israel civilians.
- ajsnigrutin 7mo agoWhat? Iran was attacked by israel numerous times, including today. It has the right to defend itself. If anything, it's israel here that has attacked almost all countries in the area and annexed land from them ("buffer zones").
- UltraSane 7mo agoHow does shooting ballistic missiles with cluster warheads at residential areas help defend Iran?
- GordonS 7mo agoIf what you said was true, we'd have seen many, many civilian deaths in Israel over the course of the war - there have, officially, been less than 50 (note that in the same time period Israel - which has targeted civilian infrastructure such as hospitals in Iran - has killed over 3,000 Iranian civilians!). But what you're saying isn't true - any of it! Iran has been hitting military targets. And they've been using MIRVs, not anti-personell cluster munitions (you know, of the kind Israel has dropped over 1M of over Lebanon). MIRVs split into multiple, independently targetable missiles when high above ground near the target zone. Cluster munitions wait until they are only some meters above ground, and then explode into bomblets.

On April 6, as many as 50 sites were impacted by missiles and their cluster munitions. “Iranian cluster munitions struck roughly 50 locations across central Israel, wounding at least six, including a seriously wounded woman in Petah Tikva and a moderately wounded man in Ramat Gan,” Iran has focused on using cluster munitions in its ballistic missile salvos since the first two weeks of the conflict. However, the proportion of these munitions has increased. By March 10, Israel’s Home Front Command said that 50 percent of the Iranian missiles contained cluster munitions. On April 1, The Times of Israel reported that “12 missiles carrying conventional warheads with hundreds of kilograms of explosives […] struck populated areas in Israel, causing extensive damage. There have also been more than 30 incidents of missiles carrying cluster bomb warheads hitting populated areas, with over 200 separate impact sites.” A ballistic missile attack on April 4, which led to at least 10 impact sites, illustrated how large an area can be affected by one missile with cluster munitions.
- GordonS 7mo agoBullshit, they are just calling MIRVs "cluster munitions" - they are not, and naming them as such will not make it so.
- firetruck 7mo agolol you are so full of shit its incredible, but muslim lovers will do whatever it can do to come up with bullshit.
- UltraSane 7mo agoThe funny thing is that many Sunnis don't consider Shia to actually be Muslims. Shia twelvers are obsessed with the 12th Imam who they think is still alive after 1150+ years while Sunnis don't care about this at all and consider the entire concept blasphemous.
- UltraSane 7mo agoIran is absolutely not using MIRVs. They are only used with nuclear warheads because they are very expensive. Iran is using good old fashioned cluster warheads where the bomblets are randomly dispersed, which is an evil weapon to use against civilians.
- GordonS 7mo agoYou are wrong[0], see Khorramshahr. Maybe Iran found ways to make them more easily produced. And there are videos where you can see missiles splitting into other missiles, some of which go in different directions. As before, it's Apartheid Israel that uses cluster bombs (and white phosphorus too). [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khorramshahr_(missile) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khorramshahr_(missile)
- UltraSane 7mo agoYou are wrong if you think Iran is targeting each sub-munition of the ballistic missiles it is firing at Israel civilians. No country has ever used any ballistic missiles that has conventional MIRVs because it simply doesn't make sense. Iran is far more of an apartheid state because Jews are considered to be Dhimmis and officially discriminated against. Dhimmi status is not equality. Recognized-minority status under the 1979 constitution comes with hard ceilings: Jews cannot hold senior military, judicial, or executive positions; inheritance law historically favored any family member who converted to Islam (a Jew converting could inherit the entire estate from Jewish relatives, a direct incentive structure against the community); testimony of non-Muslims is weighted less in court; blood money (diyya) was unequal until reforms in the 2000s. The reserved Majles seat is one out of 290, tokenism, not representation.
- NickC25 7mo agoIsrael also gets to pretend it has no nuclear weapons.

- King-Aaron 7mo ago> Iran loves to lob ballistic missiles at Israel civilians Phew and I wonder why that might be!
- flyinglizard 7mo agoYea, I do wonder, why that might be? Why is a country 1500 miles away, that doesn't even share a common border, preoccupied with the destruction of Israel to the point it invested hundreds of billion of dollars in its offensive capabilities and network of proxies on every side of Israel, had a special paramilitary wing (Quds Force) for operations inside Israel, had a public clock counting down the existence of Israel and called for the destruction of Israel on each and every opportunity? What's the obsession with the destruction of Israel? Could it be related to the fact that an Islamic Republic of (...) could not accept a Jewish rule right in the middle of the great Muslim Ummah?
- King-Aaron 7mo agoSo you really can't see what the problem is that the Israelis have caused in this region, can you.

- flyinglizard 7mo agoIn the spirit of this positive community, I'm looking forward to hearing about those problems.
- GordonS 7mo agoWell, for starters just today they hit cental, civilian areas of Beirut with 100 attacks in just 10 minutes - killing more Lebanese civilians in ten minutes than Iran killed Israeli civilians in months of war. Absolutely vile, with clear genocidal intent, and with the aim of stealing Lebanese land. That's just today...
- markovs_gun 7mo agoThe US and Israel have killed over 3,000 civilians in this war, mostly in Iran and Jordan. Iran has killed like 30. Their attacks are literally a hundredth of what they got and we're still trying to portray them as the bad guys. Don't get me wrong, Iran sucks, but not because of this

- xdennis 7mo agoIran has killed thousands of its civilians. The only reason it has only killed a few Israelis (excluding Oct 7) is because they can't easily get past Israeli defenses.
- UltraSane 7mo agoThe Shia Theocracy controlling Iran has killed thousands of civilians protesting their oppressive regime.
- breppp 7mo agoJordan is a US ally, I think you are confusing it with some other country
