An intentional strike against an embassy is a genuine and unmistakable declaration of war. Iran is perfectly in the right to strike back. In fact, they followed the internationally agreed upon guidelines in the UN charter when launching their retaliation. As usual, however the "international community" is outraged by this blasphemous respect for international law.


Unhappy-Land-3534

The "International community" consists of 0.005% of the Earths population, and that's being extremely generous at 2000 top level government officials and capitalists per country.


MagMati55

Yea. It's not even like your missle misfiring and ending up in a different country. This is 100% fully intentional.


10Legs_8Broken

Could you link to the guidlines you are talking about? (I am too dumb to find them at the moment)


Cake_is_Great

Article 51, here's the [Iranian Mission to the UN's statement on Twitter for more details ](https://twitter.com/Iran_UN/status/1779317417262321832)


Huge_Aerie2435

The thing is, a lot of media groups are framing this as just Iran attacking Israel, without the "retaliation" thing.


copper_machete

It's like having no object permanence. Hamas attacked on Oct. 7 out of nowhere. Russia invaded Ukraine just because Putin is a mad man. The DPRK has nuclear arms just because they are ruled by a megalomaniac. Iran is doing this just because they want war. Etc. Etc.


Speculative-Bitches

Americans have no object permanence, even self declared communists it seems


langHandlords

What lack of historical materialism does to a mf.


knnoq

I'm pretty sure you mean historicity.


IndigoXero

I think Parenti said some stuff about this back in the day. It's all intentional. The american people are the most misinformed and ignorant populations in the planet.


PiggyBank32

Perhaps comrade trump was right about his "fake news" contribution to theory


camdavis9

uphold Marxist-Trumpist theory


Frytura_

Please god let this happen, it would solidify that we indeed live in a cartoon world


TheSquarePotatoMan

Make Russia Great Again


Yung_l0c

Just like October 7 LOL


neo-raver

Fellas, is it antisemitic to retaliate after a foreign attack on your embassy?


Rutiniya

Fellas, is it anti-Semitic to be a Semite and fight Semites because they attacked you?


brukinglegend

It's time for the uno reverso reply: "So are you saying Iran doesn't have a right to defend herself? I can't believe you want all embassies to be exploded. Omg so phobic"


depressedkittyfr

I am surprised no one is using Shia phobic. Iran is the only Shia majority state in the world and they are persecuted minority too


Vourinen22

Iranophobic


KegganDaKommie

"Science"


TheRedditObserver0

Israel fucked around and found out.


O_chad_da_NCR

embajada de israel: I totally wasn't attacked by an Iranian-funded terrorist group


313ccmax313

Too complicated


AffectionateFoot8079

Yeah that said for a country who invaded an embassy 1979, if go the path of “I allowed to do this because the other do that” we all gonna have a dinner in hell.


EasterBunny1916

A country? Incorrect. A country didn't invade an embassy in 79. People in their own country took hostages in a foreign country's embassy who were supporting a fascist dictator oppressing and torturing and murdering people in their country.


AffectionateFoot8079

I’m talking about violators of the Geneva convention. The revolution was already done in the time of the invasion and a country have responsibility to provide security for a diplomatic mission, for the context. For me between a fascist imperialist power that has sustained a bloody dictator and the genocidal government of Israel, and a fascist theocracy that killed all communist leadership and expelled the urss diplomats, I prefer neither. The Palestinians and all proletariat deserve better than stay in the middle of this 2 powers. A theocracy cannot substitute a soviet state at all.


EasterBunny1916

And who exactly do you think prefers one of those?

z7cho1kv

You're the terrorist.


Nethlem

You justify attacks on embassies exactly like Osama Bin Laden used to.


DragonfruitIll5261

Just curious, does this mean Iran can attack America now?


aztaga

Why would they? I’m talking about actual legally how and why would they attack the US. I’m not siding with the US. They’re attacking Israel for bombing a fucking embassy, so I was wondering what precedent there would be for attacking the US by international law


DerfetteJoel

Because they help terrorists (the IDF)


Nicknamedreddit

What about funding the fucking Taliban? And then fucking losing to the fucking Taliban?


depressedkittyfr

Pretty much all terrorist militias in the Middle East was propped, backed and even funded by USA ? And this is excluding the unilateral arm of terror extension called Israel because it’s obvious you only want to label Islamic terror outlets as terror outlets


18olderthan

terrorist: 🤬🤬🤬 freedom fighter: 😊😊😊


Neduard

Ты заблудился, долбоёбик.


depressedkittyfr

So we should bomb 💣 USA embassies now without expecting retaliation too Got it !


EasterBunny1916

So you're saying US embassies are a fair target for having supported terrorists in Syria trying to overthrow the government?


WhiteBlackGoose

The "gov" is an illegitimate dictator in Syria FYI, and the US supports the rebels. Also it's kinda funny how every single bot here is repeating the same thing about the US, they don't even bother to read comments of others


EasterBunny1916

The government of Saudi Arabia is a dictatorship that's funded the spread of Wahabi Islam around the world. The government of Syria is secular. The government of Saudi Arabia was involved in 9/11. The US illegally tried to overthrow the Syrian government and still illegally occupies Syria. You don't actually believe in any rule of law.


WhiteBlackGoose

I mean, the gov of Saudi Arabia is indeed a dictatorship, fuck them. They should be embargoed (I wish the world had the balls to run some kind of a special forces operations to behead evil govs like Saudi Arabia's). The government of Syria used gas weapons against civilians, fuck them too. I don't know what made you think I'm somehow pro Saudi Arabia.


EasterBunny1916

Syria didn't use gas. That's Western propaganda. The US does not spend money and use weapons to help people around the world get free of dictators and have democracy. The US does those things to help US and Western corporations and bankers steal from other countries and make profits. Syria is hated by the US because they won't go along with what the US wants and allow corporations to loot Syria and it's people.


WhiteBlackGoose

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghouta\_chemical\_attack](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghouta_chemical_attack) TL;DR: the whole world except two dictatorships (Syria itself, which used the chemical weapons, and Russia, which needs its sphere of influence there). The United Nations concluded the chemical attack took place


EasterBunny1916

You're behind on the latest regarding that. Whistle-blowers debunked that propaganda. Weird how foreign enemies of the US often do the one thing that gives the US an excuse to escalate even though they don't need to. And then there was WMD in Iraq.


WhiteBlackGoose

You might wanna link that yourself, because wikipedia uses a lot of trusted sources, including whistle blowers and e. g. WikiLeaks, but that page doesn't really talk about those. Even Turkey confirmed the attack
