    Everybody knew an attack was in the offing at t he end of Ramadan. They knew it was hours away, but not because Iran said anything. It was because our satellites saw them getting launchers ready. Our satellites also saw the launches, and could determine number and type.

      Oh you can see all that shit but you couldn’t see the Iranian Embassy you bombed? Hilarious. Well I ran has a right to defend itself against terrorists, so I guess suck it the fuck up.

        They’re playing battleship and complaining their opponents didn’t give them ship locations.

            Then you’ll never find out that Iran bombed an Israeli embassey in 1999, one of a few. This has been going on a long time.

                That’s pretty funny. New rule, you must retaliate within 6 months. The point is they’ve been going after one another, including embassy bombings, for more than 40 years. It’s not something terribly new. And knowing that makes me a warmonger?

          If you think that’s even remotely comparable to a state actor directly and purposefully targeting an embassy, I’ve got a bridge to sell ya

            So, in that Iran has been a state sponsor of terrorism since the 80s means nothing? In that they still sponsor Hezbollah, Houthi and Hamas doesn’t mean anything. In that Hezbollah is credited with a suicide bombing of an Israeli embassey (just one of such bombings) means nothing as well. Did I get that right?
