The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) says it will deliver a "regret-inducing response" if Israeli strikes on Lebanon don't stop immediately, state media reports

Israel and the US say Lebanon is not included in a two-week ceasefire deal with Iran. PM Benjamin Netanyahu says today Israel delivered "the greatest blow" to Hezbollah since the start of its ground operation in Lebanon

Too late they fucking bombed the fuck out of fucking Beirut with 160 fucking bombs, they did what they fucking wanted to do before threats could be fucking issued. Fuck jizzrael to hell.

Iran apparently also launched multiple barrages against Israel minutes after trump announced the ceasefire. I've got no idea what's going on, but at least the US appears to have temporarily stopped bombing Iran while they try and explain this fuckfuck circus to High Commander Shitbritches... I suppose that's something.

There's quite the difference between someone announcing a ceasefire and a ceasefire coming into effect.

That being said Israel's playbook seems to be to ignore the ceasefire completely

Israel knows it can do whatever the fuck it wants as long as it's actions don't personally offend Trump.

The kiddy fiddler is being played like a fiddle.

The war hasn't stopped and it's not over yet. They're just restocking and reloading. Fuck them all.

[–] frongt@lemmy.zip 5 points 6 months ago

They're not even doing that. They said "ok, ceasefire" and then kept right on attacking.

Ghizzrael. Hail the blackmail queen Maxwell.

Iran has the right to defend itself

[–] minorkeys@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Israel, Iran and Trump, 3 groups that don't give a fuck about the damage they do and whose strategy is simply escalating until the others back down. Two of which are nuclear powers.

[–] ryannathans@aussie.zone 4 points 6 months ago (2 children)

How could Iran possibly be perceived to be a part of that group? And interesting you refer to the other countries by name but the US as Trump? Trump isn't personally bombing anyone

[–] minorkeys@lemmy.world -3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Because they keep escalating the violence and dismissing the threats of the other two. That's how that game works. The first to blink loses.

[–] ryannathans@aussie.zone 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Iran is escalating the war by sitting mostly idle with the straight closed?

[–] minorkeys@lemmy.world -1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Throwing missiles and drones at all their neighbours, threatening to blow up merchant vessels, is idling? If they could do more they would, but they can't, not that they aren't trying. If you don't understand its because you're trying very hard not to.

[–] ryannathans@aussie.zone 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

You want them to sit there and do nothing while Israel and the US "send them back to the stone ages"

[–] minorkeys@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago

They have no problem killing their own people and are only protecting themselves, personally. They refuse to back down no matter how much people suffer, just like Trump and Netanyahoo.
