    Never ask a man about his salary, a woman about her age or Israel about its evidence nor the truth
  • Benjamin N doesn't care if he gets the US in a war 😢😢

    US citizens wake up Look at your country.
  • @sindust150
    So Israelis escalated the war an nothing is being done about it. If international lawn does not apply in Syria then is applies no were!
  • @sprinkz6187
    When criticism of Israel upsets some people more than the genocide of 40,000 innocent civilians ~ Being lost for words is an understatement ~
  • @josiahabiya7885
    Following keenly. Iran has the same right to defend itself just like Israel, USA, UK or EU
  • Netanyahu and his cabinet are committing a holocaust. And Iran has the right to retaliate but I give them credit for holding back. Iran are the adults in this holocaust.
  • @manusmambon2
    Sorry but no one can attack a foreign embassy with a drone strike without consequences. Imagine if a country attacks a US embassy in a similar way.
  • @lunaxquinn
    i thought israel was defending itself just fine? they never shut up about it, don't see any need for western support....
  • What about the embassy employees?Why don't they deserve a mention?Did they have families, dreams and a life?
  • @toddnorin3843
    I’d say it isn’t a shadow war anymore
  • @living_peace
    Iran has the right to defend itself like all other countries According to the United Nations, diplomatic places should always be safe, but even though diplomatic places have been targeted, some western countries have not yet condemned it.
  • I would expect Iran to target Energy. Water. And food supplies and communications
