      What exactly would you suggest a country does after another country bombs their embassy? Send flowers and say pretty please don’t do it again uWu?

          So continue to get walked all over. Makes sense. Israel has been illegally hitting Iranian targets in Syria for years and years, Israel had the US assassinate Soleimani, yet Iran never responded in kind. But bombing and embassy was an obvious last straw.

            Israel didn’t do shit to make us kill Soleimani. Soleimani was literally meeting with someone who we blamed for an attack on the US embassy in Iraq. He was the other person killed in the strike. Iran knew they fucked up there, which is why their response was throwing a fairly ineffective barrage at a military base and then shooting down their own civilian airliner.

                Known liar claims someone else was going to help him do something bad after getting in trouble for it.

                  It does seem extremely likely that israel was involved in this as getting America in a war with Iran is something israel would absolutely love. Trump is directly throwing Netanyahu under the bus here for seemingly no reason.

                  There are also other reports being sourced in the article:

                  Trump felt used on Soleimani strike: “Israel did not do the right thing”

                  Between the lines: It’s unclear if Trump’s anger is entirely justified. A senior Israeli defense official told me that Israel proposed a more active role for Israeli forces but the U.S. insisted on being the ones to execute the

                  Israel also provided the U.S. with key intelligence support, including tracking Soleimani’s cellphone, Yahoo News

                  The former senior U.S. official said Trump’s anger wasn’t totally warranted, but that he put the episode into the same box he had put his feelings for NATO — of allies wanting the U.S. to do their fighting for them.

                  Just like the Iraq invasion also turned out to have heavy israeli pressure to attack Iraq behind it. And Syria… Israel has a rather large track record for pushing America to attack their enemies in the Middle East.

          Iran did just that. Israel spit on their faces. Now they get what they deserve.

      What was Israel’s rationale for bombing Iran’s embassy in Syria and killing 12 Iranians? Revenge for what?
