    As Tehran residents evacuated the capital in increasing numbers, Israel’s defence minister, Israel Katz, threatened to make Tehranis “pay the price” for Ali Khamenei’s decision to keep firing missiles at Israel in retaliation for the Israeli attack.

    This is literally an adult… saying “why are you hitting yourself”.

        Iran has the right to self defense just like Israel, so are they not now justified in killing 30x as many civilians like Israel does?

      I don’t think they will, but I’ve been thinking that one way Israel could get current and potential future enemies off their back for good would be if they finally showed the world that they do possess nukes and are not afraid to use them, possibly by making an example of someone. I do hope they won’t prove quite so callous.

        If that happens (and I hope it doesn’t, but they’re crazy enough to do it), can the west stop supporting them and leave them to their own devices?

      Yeah, he seems narcissistic enough that he really doesn’t think there would be consequences.

      Hopefully there are other people around him who doesn’t want the rest of the world aiming everything they have at them.

    I would t call what Israel is doing as a genocide. Not yet at least. But we clearly are seeing how Russian air defenses are basically useless against American 5th Gen fighters.

    Maybe Russia needs to figure out their shit before they sell defensive systems that do nothing.
