No we don't
No we don't
You'd have to be pretty unlucky in this part of the world to suddenly disappear due to something you said than some other parts though :s

Has anyone heard from Jeremy Corbyn in the last 24h?
Did you blame the Liverpool players for Hillsborough too?

I take it you missed the comments where I pointed out that US proxies are directly killing Iranians soldiers and have been for years?
It’s the literal same thing you’re claiming is why the US has justification for killing an Iranian general. You just refuse to take your partisan glasses off and see it for what it is. Just because you think one side are the “good” guys doesn’t mean the other side don’t see them selves as the “good” guys too.
Iran are using the same justification the US are and can now justify direct action against US forces by the attack on an Iranian soldier by the US.
Still waiting details but doesn't look like it has had much effect - a dozen rockets or so that mostly didn't do much.
Use the media button.
No but I blame you for the stupid **** you just said.
You forget that politics get in the way.
Perhaps if the US and Saudi stopped funding groups that were attacking Iranians and Iranian interests then Iran would consider stopping.
Of course Iran won’t do it until then, because that will mean countries like Saudi will gain the upper hand in the regional politic game, where influence is important.
The whole “game” is no different to what played out for decades between the Us and USSR in Africa and elsewhere during the 70s and 80s.
You can’t just expect one side to stop while the other carries on.
Thanks
If this is correct about casualties it will really kick off into full scale war now
conflating somewhat different scenarios though aren't we....
Never claimed they didn't - doesn't make it true though.
No they aren't and no it doesn't really work like that - the US acted in response to aggression from Iran... Iran, if they've got a death wish, can of course attempt to respond to that but they'd be pretty dumb to do so.
LOL!
Well let's examine that for a minute. An Iranian General in the company of militia in a foreign country who has been stirring the ****. Nobody doubts/denies that. If he isn't a legitimate target for the U.S.A. then I dont know who is.
An attack on the Iranian General is an attack on someone who hates the West and represents a country that hates the West, so no difference there.
Possibly yes, but so what? We've already establised they hate the West, they are by their own admission sworn enemies, let's not pretend that the relationship will get worse, it was already at rock bottom well before this.
Iran doesn’t hate the west though.
Iran has regional interests that it’s happy to protect militarily, and it certainly has trust issues with the west (who wouldn’t after they spent the last 50 years undermining them and recently renegaded on a deal, plus are arming several of you regional opponents.
They do seem to be quite happy to directly retaliate when they are attacked however. For some that seems to be considered “hating the west”.
So far I've heard nothing that confirms that - though information is pretty sketchy but so far reports seem to indicate most of the rockets have fallen harmlessly...
Not necessarily, but it will almost certainly get the promised response from the US. Hope they get a plenty high value targets - these **** have had it coming for a long time tbh... and it is about time they were affected directly by it.
LOL you are funny at times - if by "Iran" you're talking about the regime then there are plenty in the current regime who do indeed hate the west.
If you're talking about ordinary Iranians then that is a different ball game - big young generation there who aren't too happy with the oppressive regime they live under.
