Hello from Iran, still alive

[–] SlayGuevara@lemmygrad.ml 34 points 3 weeks ago

Stay safe and death to Israel

[–] AnarchoBolshevik@lemmygrad.ml 26 points 3 weeks ago

Benjamin Netanyahu I wanna beat the shit out of you.

[–] SlayGuevara@lemmygrad.ml 20 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

Jesus fuck good morning to you all too

This really does not look good

[–] yogthos@lemmygrad.ml 12 points 3 weeks ago

It does not, Iran has no choice but to retaliate and that could mean the US getting the war with Iran they always wanted.

[–] ivy@lemmygrad.ml 19 points 3 weeks ago

Israel now adds Iranian children to the long list of children it kills.

"Head of Shahid Chamran Hospital: Today we received the bodies of children aged 4, 5, and 6 years old."

Tel Aviv has been hit. Glory to the resistance.

[–] ComradePupIvy@lemmygrad.ml 18 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

So what are the odds that this is actualy going to create a war.

[–] yogthos@lemmygrad.ml 25 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Pretty high given they're already saying this isn't going to be a one day strike, but gonna last a week. There's no way Iran just sits and absorbs it.

[–] ComradePupIvy@lemmygrad.ml 22 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I hope so. Honestly I am hoping that this is the peak of the huberous from the US and their puppet, and that this can put a close on their reign of terror. Especialy right now I belive the US is still drained of resources, due to ukraine.

[–] ComradePupIvy@lemmygrad.ml 22 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

that being said there have been so many "this HAS to be the red line moments" that have passed with nothing

[–] Commiejones@lemmygrad.ml 14 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Iran was pretty serious about their red lines in the last tit for tat. The response by israel to True Promise Two was rather pathetic which is why True Promise Three never happened.

israel forgetting that it had to back down is in line with their habit of believing their own propaganda lies. Its similar to how they forgot about how bad things get when they try to hold ground against The Resistance instead just of bombing civilians. I think they will be shocked by the response to this strike and it may be enough to break them because I don't think Iran will stop until they are done.

[–] Munrock@lemmygrad.ml 14 points 3 weeks ago

It just has to be bad enough that all of the "dual-citizenship" settlers get rattled, unsettle, and fuck off back to where they came from. It's not a country but a project, and its viability ends if it doesn't have enough participants.

[–] yogthos@lemmygrad.ml 13 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Yeah, it's really hard to say how this will play out.

[–] Commiejones@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (2 children)

It really depends on how explicitly donald told benny "Do not bomb Iran." I think we'll know a lot based on the tone if/when donald comments on the strikes. I'm leaning towards him being ok with the strike but if he's upset I imagine he will be very upset.

If this does not erode all trust in the US I do not know what will, right here is an admission the peace talks where just a front to get everyones guard down

[–] PoY@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 3 weeks ago

he already said he will back up isn'treal if need be

[–] AnarchoBolshevik@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I still remember how yesteryear I was replaying Conflict: The Middle East Political Simulator while listening to Al Jazeera, and afterwards I assembled this image as a snarky comment on the Islamic Rep. of Iran launching drones at the occupation. At the time, I did not seriously believe that the Islamic Rep. of Iran was going to invade the occupation, only devastate the IOF. Now? An invasion doesn’t sound that unlikely. Maybe Tehran will limit itself to mere bombardments, but at this point, who knows.

All that I can say with certainty is that I’m mad at how this entire situation has been a waste of everything. A huge waste of Palestinian lives, a waste of the effort and other resources that went into their neighborhoods, a waste of their precious history, a waste of their time, a waste of our planet, and it is all because of this settler-colonial project that never needed to happen.

Me too, thanks.

[–] REEEEvolution@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The ressources spent in Ukraine are sadly not the ones necessary for good old terror bombings and naval warfare.

They spent a lot of that on Yemen though.

[–] RedColossus@lemmygrad.ml 15 points 3 weeks ago

It’s clear Israel is deadset on the war. Iran might as well get on with it.

[–] SlayGuevara@lemmygrad.ml 16 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Also, how do so many Israeli airplanes manage to violated Iranian airspace with seemingly no consequences

[–] yogthos@lemmygrad.ml 14 points 3 weeks ago

looks like Israel sent agents into Iran to disable AD systems in coordination with the strikes https://ca.news.yahoo.com/revealed-mossad-commandos-launched-secret-105629519.html

[–] PowerCrazy@lemmy.ml -4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Because Iran is a paper tiger and are completely unable to mount any kind of response. They have sent ~100 UAVs and almost all of them have been shot down (though that is according to the IDF) Otherwise Iran has been silent on action, but loud on words. Just like they were before the attack.

Here is what Iran has done so far ~18 hours after the attack.

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2025/6/13/live-explosions-reported-in-iran-amid-israel-tensions (nothing)

Meanwhile Israel is still continuing to run roughshod all over Iranian Airspace with impunity and attacking targets. Mossad is operating on the ground and very well may be planning to assassinate more senior officials.

This is what Iran said before the attacks:

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/6/12/iran-doubles-down-as-us-signals-israel-could-strike-during-nuclear-talks Note that most of the spokesmen for the Iranian response in that article are confirmed dead by the Iranian government as well as the IDF.

Reminding myself to revisit this comment further down the line to see if it aged good or bad

[–] PowerCrazy@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 weeks ago

Is there a similar feature from reddit to do that in lemmy?

[–] rainpizza@lemmygrad.ml 11 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] REEEEvolution@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 2 weeks ago

When you feel like a gimp, always remember the jordanian and iraqi governments exist.

Too many global south nations obsessed with being right and convincing their very oppressors that they are being treated unfairly. Boo hoo, you are running a state full of brown people and want sympathy from genocidal racists?

Oh, is a nuke Unislamic? I guess your generals can let god know when the zios send them to him.

Oh, you want to engage in talks? Let me know how that went for Russia and Gaza, not even a month ago.

Oh, are you building an alliance? China and Russia won't even end trade with the entity.

Why do they want to lead a state when they have zero state craft? If they want to be praised by the west, just bring in the shahs of sunset back in power and let them hand everything over to BP and ExxonMobil.

Edit: i dont mean to disrespect Islam or Muslims above. I just think they are being goody two shoes more than they need to.

[–] Malkhodr@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

The nuclear fatwa drives me crazy. Astagfurallah, this is an issue of anhilation against your people, under such a circumstances it's absurd to issue such a general statement regarding a defensive deterrent.

The reformists as a whole are so naive about reproachment with the west and its mind boggling to me. How is it that the principalists, literal conservative islamists, are more rational on the topic of geopolitics but can't figure out that insane morality laws aren't worth defending and only delegitmize their leadership to the public.

I'm not going to say Iran should respond with full force. They are a country if 80 million people, so I feel restraint is a fair response to the bloodthirsty imperialists. However if you are going to show restraint then why can't you take safer approaches to geopolitics and domestic matters.

[–] supersolid_snake@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 2 weeks ago

Iran just responded, thank goodness. Flatten tel aviv!

[–] REEEEvolution@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 2 weeks ago

China and Russia won’t even end trade with the entity.

I fucking wish.

[–] rainpizza@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I wonder what happened to the Iranian air defenses. Have they been hacked or why they underperform against the zionist aggression...

Ahh, I have way too many questions.

[–] yogthos@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 3 weeks ago

I was wondering about that as well. Could be that they've made interceptions, but this is just what got through. No AD system is perfect at the end of the day.

[–] NotMushroomForDebate@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Air strikes should only be considered as a last resort. However, based on their comments and behavior, no positive outcomes can be expected. We made the decision to preemptively strike Iran for these reasons.

[–] REEEEvolution@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 2 weeks ago

The lemmy.world excuse! Preemptively doing the act of last resort.

[–] eatCasserole@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

This cartoon just happened to appear right next to this article in my feed. Couldn't be more relevant.

[–] Mzuark@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 2 weeks ago

Iran is retaliating faster than I expected. Looks like this might be more than another "Nothing Ever Happens"
