No, Iran is definitely not on any sort of moral high ground. They and Israel are so deep underground they're communicating with the mole people.

I have gotten cynical to the point of assuming the "endgame" here is properly kicking off WW3, so that Trump gets an excuse to drop a nuke or two on an adversary.

"The last time we had a world war, we won it! We were the best - and we won it with our nukes, our big beautiful nukes - it's really a shame we haven't used them since, don't you think? We ended the war by dropping 2 on Japan, and now Japan is our best friend. Why don't we drop some nukes on Iran? Don't we want them to be our friend?"

10 assassinations of relatively innocent people simultaneously. Straight out of Walter white’s playbook when he went full villain.

The nuclear scientists were killed using a special weapon whose details were barred from publication, Channel 12 says.

The 10th nuclear scientist was killed shortly after the other nine, as part of the overnight Thursday-Friday Israeli operation, which included strikes on Iran’s ballistic missile program and the Natanz nuclear site, along with the elimination of top members of the Islamic Republic’s military leadership, the network says.

The nuclear scientists were all killed while they were sleeping in their beds, with Israel deciding to carry out the assassinations simultaneously so that there wouldn’t be time to tip off those being targeted.

The scientists apparently believed they were safe from such targeting in their homes, a senior Israeli official tells Channel 12, noting that previously assassinated nuclear scientists were killed while heading to their cars after work.

Israel had been tracking Iranian nuclear scientists for years and the ten killed last week were marked for assassination in November of last year, Channel 12 says.

Just when I feel like dystopian news can't really disturb me anymore...

Leaving this totally unrelated article about Palantir and Israel here for absolutely no reason at all...

How Israel Uses AI in Gaza—And What It Might Mean for the Future of Warfare:

A program known as “The Gospel” generates suggestions for buildings and structures militants may be operating in. “Lavender” is programmed to identify suspected members of Hamas and other armed groups for assassination, from commanders all the way down to foot soldiers. “Where’s Daddy?” reportedly follows their movements by tracking their phones in order to target them—often to their homes, where their presence is regarded as confirmation of their identity. The air strike that follows might kill everyone in the target's family, if not everyone in the apartment building.

Abraham, whose report relies on conversations with six Israeli intelligence officers with first-hand experience in Gaza operations after Oct. 7, quoted targeting officers as saying they found themselves deferring to the Lavender program, despite knowing that it produces incorrect targeting suggestions in roughly 10% of cases.

Comments going against Israel - so you agree that Iran should have nuclear weapons?

Clearly not working, Israel and the us have them nukes and that's not stopping Iran and Palestine from retaliation

Or do you see them staying the fuck away?

Because I certainly don't

I think you stronly underestimate how bad genocide is. Are you a history buff? In the 20th century there was this guy called Hitler. He became the personification of evil because he committed genocide. That's where Israel is at. Iran, as far as I know, is not committing a genocide.

They aren't innocent, they are knowingly creating a devastating weapon of mass destruction for a regime who has declared that they intend to use it. While I don't support this sort of unprovoked attack, I can't get too worked up over the demise of literally mad scientists.

How can people be so fucking stupid as to keep their key personnel vulnerable like that?

Murdered. Not killed, murdered.

Both technically true, but the way they write killed suggests it wasn't murder in cold blood, an act of war against another country to bully and control them.

Murder.

Narnia? What an odd name. What did they kill them with, a lion or a wardrobe?

The alternative is “drop bombs”.

Rounding up leaders and putting them on trial seems like a more civilized international approach than engaging in the same bloodthirsty, explosive, surprise-murder that is literally the whole problem here.

Evil state? Which one are you referring to?

Man up

Fuck off. You can take that shit elsewhere. Grow a conscience.

The US gave Israel, an evil state, nuclear weapons. By your logic...

I don't think you give a shit about genocide, personally, you've just picked the Palestinian Genocide as your particular favourite issue to bang your drum about.

Tell me, what are your opinions on:

• The Ukrainian Genocide (by Russia)
• The Masalit Genocide (by Sudan)
• The Rohingya Genocide (by Myanmar)
• The Uyghur Genocide (by China)
  ?

And those are the other genocides happening literally right now!

Let's go a little further back:

• The Tigray Genocide (by Ethiopia in 2022)
• The Yazidi Genocide (by ISIS in 2014)
• The Darfur Genocide (By the RSF in 2005)
• The Bosnian Genocide (by Serbia in 1995)
• The Death Commissions (by Iran from 1981-1988. Ebrahim Raisi, President of Iran until 2024 was literally on the panels that executed people for being non-Muslim!)
• The Kurdish Genocide (by Iraq in 1988 and arguably by Turkey and Iran now, given that pro-Iran protestors set fire to the Kurdish party offices in Iraq)

So no, I don't think you care. If you did, you wouldn't be supporting Iran who gives drones to Russia to commit genocide and have themselves committed genocide. You would be calling for Iran's government to be deposed for the religious nutjobs that they are.
