Although Iran does not border the Bab al-Mandeb Strait, Yemen does, and Iran is closely allied with the Houthis, the Yemeni militant group that previously conducted dozens of strikes against Israel-linked vessels in the Red Sea in 2023 and 2024 in response to the war in Gaza.
Funny little old article from 2025:
Because of course Iran had previously blatantly falsely claimed that they had no control over their proxies, the Houthis.
While fuck Trump and his war crimes in all kinds of way, this war is ultimately a result of Iran playing stupid games with their terrorist proxies. Whether Iran will win stupid prizes, we will see.
Dude that’s not even the proximate case
So Iranian proxies attacking Israel for years was completely irrelevant to Israel attacking Iran? Bullshit.
So Israel entrenching their apartheid state for decades instead of working towards a more collaborative and egalitarian future with their neighboring countries and cultures was completely irrelevant to Israel attacking Iran? Bullshit.
You’re cherry-picking one-off justifications in a context that has history going back for literal millennia.
besides israel has been attacking iran for decades, and instigating most of the violence in the region.
You mean the ones that have “death to Israel” as a slogan? C’mon people. Don’t lionize Iran just because you’re angry at Israel and the US.
Did you ever stop to think why they say that?
Counldnt have anything to do with the way Isriel has treated muslim neighbours could it now.
Edit: let me be clear.
Fuck the Iranian government and its burtal oppression of its people.
But fuck the US for making it worse.
They’ve said it since the '70s. Maybe instead of entrenching their theocratic dictatorship for decades they should be working towards a more collaborative and egalitarian future with their neighboring countries and cultures.
what else happened about then…
And what happened before that? And before that? And before that? This is how all these discussions go. But you blame Israel for not “cozing up” to a regime that literally does not recognize their legitimacy and has done so for 50 years while it has also funded terror groups to attack them.
I’m sorry but there is not black and white here.
Israel has no right to exist, its a literal nazi state, fuck you for defending its existence and fuck everyone else who does so
I’m not glorifying or supporting nihilistic slogans like that. I’m saying that there’s a reason they became popular, and it’s the same reason they have tended to grow in popularity.
As in: if Israel had maintained a strong defense force, acknowledged and made attempts to rectify mistakes from their past, and simultaneously tried their best to get along with and form economic and cultural ties with the surrounding countries and cultures instead of resorting to military adventurism every time they felt a bit squeamish, perhaps they wouldn’t be in the extremely fucky and deeply, darkly ironic position they’re in today.
Death to Israel. They have no right to exist as a state. Due to US material and political support, Israel has never been motivated to seek equitable or good-faith relations with its neighbors. Now that their propaganda has finally worn thin, they have engineered a war with Iran, which they use as cover to hasten the expansion of their territory.
Assuming you actually think that is a valid argument, let me ask you a question: How well are Jews treated in e.g. Yemen, do you think?
Probably similar to the thousands of Jews that live peacefully in Iran?
I see that you base your worldview on whichever fantasy makes you feel good in the moment, not reality or actually looking up facts. Good to know.
What facts did I make-up? Do Jews not live in Iran?
I admit that your post was 100% fact free. So you did not make up any facts, I admit.
Those are not terror proxies but freedom fighters, hope that helps
Sure, and nazis were just fighting for the freedom of the aryan race.
thanks for confirming you are a nazi and doesnt understand why those “terrorists” picked up weapon
Ah yes, freedom fighting Shia Muslims firing unguided freedom rockets at Israeli civilians.
Note that both the Houthis and Hezbollah are Shias (hence allied with Shia Iran, in the Sunni-Shia religious cold war). And the Muslims Israel displaced from the Israel were Sunnis. So the claim of them being “freedom fighters” in the Israel-Palestine conflict is quite dubious - Yemen and Iran especially has no relation to Israel, they are just using Jews as an external enemy to blame their own shortcomings on. While of course not caring at all about China’s Uighur genocide.
Lebanon: Hezbollah’s rocket attacks on northern Israel must be investigated as likely war crimes
B… based
