Hmm, now replace Iran with the USA, and tell me how would you feel if someone has bombed your embassy and killed a bunch of its employees? Would you still tell us that the US should not retaliate?
I mean both of you are correct. I find it difficult to say that Iran would be wrong to retaliate. They have all the right in the world to do so.
Would it be a wise decision? I don’t think so. A war against Israel wouldn’t be beneficial for them. But if they start one, they are fully within their rights.
Iran is not the United States. We have the military might to strike anywhere in the world. We can invade any country in the world.
Iran can’t do any of those things. I get why they want to strike back but strategically it’s a bad move.
I think they should pitch their case to the UN. Israel should not have attacked their consulate. It wasn’t an embassy that was attacked.
Hell I support Israel but I can’t defend attacking the consulate. I won’t even attempt to defend that.
Iran isn’t an Arab nation, nor Afghanistan or a plethora of other countries we’ve fought.
Your point stands though. That’s why they revert to terrorism.
I think we should have allied with Iran to fight isis
That would be a very dumb move by Iran.

I don’t know that is the best analogy.

And that’s exactly the double standards I was talking about. Letting someone act with impunity creates a very dangerous precedent.
It’s not a double standard. It’s just a fact.
If they escalate with Israel. It won’t benefit Iran. Netanyahu isn’t afraid to use further force. He’s shown that in Gaza.
Might makes right is the dumbest position, bar none.
Glad nobody claimed that.
Let him use it more. He will get the hitler treatment
Yeah. Because Arab nations don’t have the resources as Western ones, they typically have to resort to terrorism to fight back.
This is why the “war on terror” is such a big deal. It means that any poor nation who tries to fight a wealthy one is immediately in the wrong.

Right now you are talking like a high school bully.
