France, Germany, and the United Kingdom say they’re ready to defend their interests and those of allies in the Gulf if necessary by taking “defensive action” against Iran.
“We will take steps to defend our interests and those of our allies in the region, potentially through enabling necessary and proportionate defensive action to destroy Iran’s capability to fire missiles and drones at their source,” it added.
Israel and the US attacked Iran. Iran then attacked Israel, UAE, Kuwait, Jordan, Bahrain, Qatar, and Iraq right afterword.
If Iran didn’t want to be accused of attacking other countries, they shouldn’t be attacking other countries.
They attacked US military bases, not the countries themselves
Countries that are explicitly allies to the nation that attacked you and that host bases of the country attacking you.
Sounds reasonable to me
Iran has blown up lots of civilian stuff in those countries in the last day. It isn’t just US military bases.
Care to be more specific?
I know they launched unguided missiles that did ultimately strike civilians. We would need to know the initial targets. It’s considered “normal” in a war to send large barrages towards legitimate targets and hope they hit. An airport or factory would be a legitimate target, but a school or hospital would not be.
Now of course Israel and the US have hit both schools and hospitals using guided missiles. Those were deliberately chosen targets.
For someone that made a post complaining about nuance I’m kinda surprised by this take.
Anyway I won’t condemn an invaded nation for defending itself.
Iran is controlled by an oppressive regime. That doesn’t give the US or Israel the right to invade nor does it forfeit the nations right to defend itself from invasion
they did not attack other countries they attacked US bases in those countries.
the US should be out of those countries.
Iran’s government has more than earned its pariah status. These keyboard warriors are as bad as conservatives in finding the nuance. US and Israel should not have attacked AND Iran is a brutal, oppressive regime.
You are absolutely correct, but that’s also irrelevant to the other posters point. The other nations they’ve bombed are allied with the US and host US military bases.
It makes conplete sense to target infrastructure and military bases in those countries.
two things can be true. israel and the us are genocidal criminal groups
