Iran’s ambassador to Lebanon lost one eye and suffered serious injury to the other when a pager he was carrying exploded on Tuesday
Now why would Iran’s ambassador have a Hezbollah pager? 🤔
(we all know why)
Why are you pretending that is some sort of gotcha?
Diplomats communicating with their nation’s allies does not make them legitimate military targets.
Communication with terrorist organizations by government officers is frowned upon though.
Netanyahu spoke to Congress
Hezbollah is not a terrorist organization according to the Lebanese and Iranian governments or the UN.
The have 15 representatives in Lebanon’s parliament.
Of course, terrorism is only what we say and when they do it, not when we do it!
I demand to see Biden’s Israel pager!
So you admit that Israel just carried out a terrorist attack in Lebanon? Or is bombing and killing citizens is terrorism when “they” do it, not when “we” do it?
Yeah I was mocking the label “terrorist organization”. There is no question that the USA and Israel routinely carry out terrorist attacks and should be labeled a terrorist regime. They’ve had decades to create peace and more moderate culture but they want this constant state of precariousness.
Hezbollah is a political organisation in Lebanon. Lebanon is the country the Iranian ambassador is in.
This is not the gocha you think it is.
To speak with Hezbollah… The fuck you think ambassadors do?
Why does anyone in Lebanon have a pager at this point?
It’s because they don’t use the same wireless networks as phones and have like a 96h battery life. That’s why hospitals give them to doctors. And plenty of people still use walkie-talkies because they work (within a certain range) even when nothing else does.
Also, the pager companies are still in business mostly because of the pucks you get at a restaurant that buzz when your table or food is ready. “Obsolete” tech that’s dirt cheap can sometimes hang around for niche use cases.
I have to guess it has something to do with being harder to eavesdrop on
Mosadd was sending Hezbollah too many DickButt memes?
Because military aged men with cell phones catch rq9s, or try real hard to.
Who cares, it is an act of terrorism
Where is your proof that he did? You seem quick to leap to conclusions.

It’s literally in the article.
