Iran's consulate in the Syrian capital Damascus was flattened on Monday in what Syrian and Iranian media described as an Israeli air strike, a startling apparent escalation of conflict in the Middle East that would pit Israel against Iran and its allies.

Why would Israeli provoke Iran so directly? Or attack Syria and Lebanon while committing genocide in Palestine?

Golly, what a stroke of fortune there is at least one Ohio class sub so close.

Zionists expanding the conflict zone will eventually envelope the United States, imo.

Well, they are probably galvanizing more of the Arab communities into fervor like Jordan.

Seems very necessary for Netanyahu to remain in power.. not for the protection of Israel.

Like Trump, NuttyYahoo wants the office in order to stay out of prison. He and his wife have been indicted over massive corruption.

But, the fat lady is warming up. I's bet he'll be out of office and in a courtroom within 6 months.

Speaking of which, Trumps first criminal trial starts in 2 weeks.

I could be mistaken. But I don't think Arab nations care about Iran.

True enough, they are communities of diverse heritage, traditions and archeology, unlike The children of a lesser Melania.

Iranian Consulate in Damascus Flattened in Israeli Strike

Oh no! I hope Iran doesn't unleash Hamas upon Israel to rape and murder women and children at a music festival.

Netanyahoo and Israel need to be informed that the U.S> is not going to back them if they start a brosder war in the mideast.

Pretty sure Iran already started it. Only question is whether Israel is going to bend over and take it.

It's not a provocation, but an escalation.

Israel found weapons being shipped into the West Bank from Iranian guard.

Certain ones so certain ones don't, I'll let you figure the common denominator.

As you should know.

While we don't normally agree I believe you are correct on that. Now whether or not it was an actual thing that happened or staged, I tend to believe it was real given this event. I don't know if it was truly an escalation but it is certainly a bit of a --- for tat. Israel has its hands full at the moment so I don't think they are seeking to escalate.

Maybe it has something to do with Iranian training and funding for Hamas attack against them, ongoing conflicts with Iranian trained and funded Hezbollah forces, and training and funding of Houthi militants trying to fire cruise missiles at Israel and international shipping?

This is a real tough one.

WTF? lol. It's Sunni vs Shia, and Iran is the defacto militant leaders of the Shia side.

I think he meant "care about" in the way a person who has friends cares about their friends.

Not in the way the bank cares when you write bad checks.

They definitely have a feeling of concern no matter how it's parsed. Not necessarily positive concern, but still concern.

"Sunni vs Shia"

See, this is why Israel is unnecessary, from a Western perspective.

Israel actually serves to unite Sunni and Shia, who would normally be at each other's throats.

But I also understand having multiple layers of defense. Just not sure if Israel is really delivering that any more.

Every time they united, they lost and Israel ended up with more of the defensible strategic ground than when it started.

Killing an Iranian general is an escalation.

As far as staging the precursor, as you stated why expand their problems? Unless they felt it was already a problem.

It's quite telling how the Pro-Ethnic Cleaning Racists on here are so supportive of bombing a consulate.

It's a ------- extension of the Embassy.

Does this mean US adversaries can bomb US embassies and consulates?

These racist MAGAts probably cheer on the bombing of aid workers and journalists too.

I'm not seeing any "rules based" order, just open aggression.

#14, Russia is just ahead of the curve here. Not any more Evil in actual practice.

I think the world will be at war again soon. Iran has been repeatedly targeted by Israel over the years. Did they think that Iran would never strike back?

Diplomacy is the answer to all of this.

No one seems interested in That.

Billions for War.

A pittance for diplomacy and actual dialogue.

What could possibly go wrong?

In what source did you find this information Hamass is completely funded by Iran's current administration of child marrying(raping) mullahs. Yet, here you are supporting people that could give two ----- about the people in Gaza and that is not Israel who let them Moslems from Gaza come into Israel to work and instead they turn around and have murdered Jews, Christians and other Moslems on the behest of Iran. Yet, here you are carrying the water of this band of cave dwelling gang raping murderers. Do you openly support, ISIS and their child slave brides too? Or, when the Taliban scum marry off a child to a buddy or stone some women that had a husband cheat on her as that is her sin not his of course.?

Yet, here you are supporting people that could give two ----- about you, me or the people in Gaza. Israel let Moslems from Gaza come into Israel to work and instead they turn around and have murdered Jews, Christians and other Moslems on the behest of Iran. Yet, here you are carrying the water of this band of cave dwelling gang raping murderers and openly supporting Iran's evil government. Do you also openly support, ISIS and their right to have child slave brides too? Or, when the Taliban scum marry off a child to a buddy or stone some women that had a husband cheat on her as that is her sin not his of course do you get a kick out of this? Let me put it to you this way, these terrorist groups may be from different Moslem sects but they are all under the same banner of hate and murdering Jews, each other and Christians. These religous Moslem fascists are all the same and sort of like the KKK and Neo Nazi who claim the mantel of being Christians but are anything. Yet, here you are.
