Great news. Hopefully that means if Israel does it anyway they will pay a price too heavy to bear, and we can put the whole “escalate to cover our Gaza situation” thing to bed.
If you cheer on Iran’s strikes on Israel, remember that in addition to Jewish Israelis, Arabs, Palestinians, Muslims & Christians could lose their lives in the attack. Iranian projectiles endanger Ramallah, Bethlehem, Nablus, Amman, Lebanon, Syria & Iraq. War’s not an online game
Some retaliation seems necessary. Unless someone hits back the israeli bullying will continue. Bidens refusal to tell israel to stop trying to start WW3 is what got us here to begin with.
The Iranian strikes were targeted on israeli air bases. Ironically one person that was critically injured was a Palestinian girl hit by the shrapnel of an interception.
While sad, the Iranian attack did achieve its goals. Create an expensive interception barrage for israel while not resulting in major escalation.
President Biden told Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a call on Saturday that the U.S. won’t support any Israeli counterattack against Iran, a senior White House official told Axios.
America is already involved …
Without the billions of dollars we give them, and the military support of putting troopa and ships right off the coast, Israel never would have attacked Iran to begin with.
But even if that wasn’t true, Biden has a horrible record of not assisting with Israels genocides.
As it says, counterattack.

What Iran just did was the counterattack.
Will it do any good to attempt to explain it again? Or the fact that grammatically there was an attack last night, so a response to that would be a counterattack? Probably not.
So by your logic, every act of aggression involving Israel…
Has been a counterattack for foreign governments seizing land from natives and giving it to a religious group to found Israel?
Gotta say, never thought I’d agree with you. But yeah, that’s accurate.
