11. But you believe the headline is a fact, correct?

First direct attack ever?

[still_one]

33. The article indicated the following also:

“Iran had threatened to retaliate against Israel after an airstrike in April that killed seven Iranian soldiers at a base in Syria.”

While the events may very well be accurate, I find the timing somewhat convenient, and would like a neutral party to confirm it

[greyl]

35. Agreed, absolutely. nt

3. Iran has a real military.....Israel would have use their nukes and have

US join in....oil prices....gas prices would soar as refineries in Saudi Arabia would be bombed. That how it starts...

The beginning of the end.

5. 5 dollars a gallon by the 4th of July. #MAGA

[beachbum bob]

6. If all out war happens...may hit 6 or 7 as the future prices will crash thru

$200/bbl

[bronxiteforever]

10. It would create a worldwide depression

[beachbum bob]

12. Yep...

Most likely not recoverable.

[brush]

7. Seems like there's an attempt to drag us into a war with Iran.

[Civic Justice]

8. We need to let Israel fights its own self created battles!!!!

They've done nothing but encroach and encroach.... https://americaneveryman.com/2015/10/16/msnbc-airs-map-showing-israeli-encroachment-on-palestinian-land-since-1947/

16. Always a good idea to test links you post

[left-of-center2012]

13. I think Israel is responding to missiles fired into Israel

Israel's military says Iranian forces based in neighboring Syria fired about 20 projectiles at Israeli positions in the Golan Heights.
Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus says Israel views the incident "with severity" and has responded.

18. I think you're right, but

DU is a big fan of Iran now.

This place has jumped the shark.

[left-of-center2012]

19. "DU is a big fan of Iran"

Bibi is Donald's buddy,
so natural we'd go for Iran,
IMHO.

[B2G]

20. Count me out of 'we'.

Iran is horrible and I don't ascribe to group think.

[left-of-center2012]

21. I have a friend who is Iranian.

It's a case of the people are good, but the government is corrupt.

[B2G]

22. Who do you think I'm talking about?

Their government. Not their people.

[John Fante]

29. Say what you want about Iran, their leaders didn't just

violate an international agreement. Our corrupt government did.

[Tavarious Jackson]

30. Whoever started it...

It's because of Trump.

[left-of-center2012]

32. It started in 1952 or 1953

The U.S.'s CIA overthrew the democratically elected government of Iran and installed the Shah
as dictator.
He went on to imprison and torture thousands of Iranians.

Funny thing happened. They hated the U.S. for it
That eventually brought on the revolution of 1979.

And now Trump & Bolton want another "regime change" in Iran.

[Tavarious Jackson]

23. I think Iran and Bibi are both terrorist

I say Bibi not the jewish people.

[B2G]

24. Well we disagree on that count. Nt

[still_one]

36. True, but the article in the WP, which was taken almost verbatim from

The Times of Israel indicated the following also:

“Iran had threatened to retaliate against Israel after an airstrike in April that killed seven Iranian soldiers at a base in Syria.”

Independent nuetral observers need to be placed there to find out what is happening for future confrontations

Here is why I am skeptical right now.

1. Netanyahu comes out a few days ago and presents the Iran nuclear program in English, with the clearly intended audience being Americans, not Israelis, with information which was NOT new, but the reason why the nuclear Iran deal was done in the first place

2. In the last few days the administration has said they are seeking regime change in Iran
3. In clear violation of the nuclear deal Trump unilaterally pulled out of the Iran deal

15. Tavarious, I went to see where you're getting your information,

and both links are closed down.

I was shocked that responses on another thread at the time I opened it were all hostile to Israel, even though the thread reported Syrian rocket launches into Israel. All involved states currently have militant, bigoted conservative governments. None are innocent, but actions of some are far worse than others, and Israel is not the worst by a very large degree.

Note that antisemitism is rampant among some on the far left, and I strongly suspect that that knee-jerk vituperation against Israel, giving Iran, Syria and Russia free passes, has its origin there.

[Tavarious Jackson]

25. I'm not anti semitic

I don't know who to believe but Bibi is just as bad a liar as Trump

[B2G]

26. I thought the far left hated Russia now.

Which is why their support of Iran baffles me.

I can't keep the fuck up anymore.

[Tavarious Jackson]

28. I'm a moderate. Hillary dem.

I'm not JPR nut job

[Tavarious Jackson]

27. News reports are contradicting...

17. Iran Fires Rockets Into Golan Heights From Syria, Israelis Say.

*The rocket attack early Thursday appeared to come in response to Israeli strikes on positions in southern Syria on Wednesday.'

37. All the sources seem to be coming from The Times of Israel which indicates both sides have

been provocative with each other for including this:

“Iran had threatened to retaliate against Israel after an airstrike in April that killed seven Iranian soldiers at a base in Syria.”

The timing seems very convenient,

[HeiressofBickworth]

31. I'm not a fan of Iran

and I'm also not a fan of getting involved in another Middle East War.
