Right before the election, of course.
EDIT: Israel has announced its over and Iran says the attacks were limited. I’m actually surprised, hopefully it means that the escalations between the two are over.
Taken from the live page at Al Jazeera:
Iran’s military has confirmed that Israeli strikes on the country targeted military bases in Ilam, Khuzestan and Tehran provinces, causing “limited damage.”
The statement from Iran’s armed forces was read aloud on state television, which showed no images from the sites of the attacks.
Iran’s military claimed its air defences limited the damage inflicted by Israel’s strikes.

“October surprise!” - Netanyahu
So…hospitals? Schools? (While they’re open and full of children of course)
What Iranian hospitals or schools did Israel hit?
Based on intelligence, IAF aircraft struck missile manufacturing facilities used to produce the missiles that Iran fired at the State of Israel over the last year. These missiles posed a direct and immediate threat to the citizens of the State of Israel. Simultaneously, the IDF struck surface-to-air missile arrays and additional Iranian aerial capabilities, that were intended to restrict Israel’s aerial freedom of operation in Iran. Source
They missed. Missiles intercepted. The schools and hospitals are safe. For now. (.TM/knock on wood)
“Israel says” - Oh so lies then. Gotcha.
Still waiting for the proof of those underground hamas command bunkers filled with gold and beheaded Jewish babies to appear.
Whenever they claim that about Gaza the target is usually a hospital. So ya’know, “trustworthy.”
Israel is hard at work trying to kill every aid worker, journalist and child in Iran.
Iran would be putting those civilian casualties on blast if they existed. They don’t, which is why Iran is complaining about Iranian soldiers and destroyed Iranian military targets.
If they’re actually telling the truth about ‘precise military targets,’ and I’m not confident of that, this is not as bad as I had feared.
Not good, but not as bad as I had feared, which was a much more massive retaliation.
Now we just have to hope things don’t keep escalating.
Iran made it clear that if the attack was contained, than they would let it be. If not, then they retaliate.
If they do intend to retaliate, I don’t expect it happening before the election. They know these kinds of things help Trump and the last thing they want is a Trump presidency.
My problem is that I don’t trust Israel’s claim that this was precise and I also don’t trust Iran’s claim that if it is contained, they won’t retaliate.
Because I don’t trust either government at all.
Trust them to serve their own self interests.
Israel’s interest is escalating and prolonging the conflict to grab more land and kill more Arabs and Persians.
Iran’s interest is de-escalation since they’re in no shape to fight a war with Israel, and the US.
You could be right in general, but you should know that Iranians are not Arabs and they hate being mistaken for Arabs.

Forgot about that lol, thanks for reminding me. I’ve edited my comment.
Sorry to say that but escalation is the only way to stop Israel and it’s genocidal campain
Stopping a genocide by potentially killing far more people than the genocide is killing doesn’t seem like a very good alternative.
When in history a colonized power was stopped without ton of civilians dying because of the colonizer refusal for peace? Are you telling me that for example that India shouldn’t have resisted the British empire because 100 millions Indian died? I wish there was a world where peace happen without sacrificing a single person, but that’s not the reality.
When did I say there shouldn’t be resistance?
Resistance to genocide and an escalating war between two nuclear powers are very different things.
If you think Iran actually gives a shit about Palestinians and what Israel is doing to them, you’re wrong.
The Usa and other allies won’t stop supporting Israel politically and military, Palestine can’t beat Israel alone, it need support from other countries . I don’t hear people calling for not escalating against Russia and rightfully so. Both Israel and Russia are occupiers.
Yes Iran doesn’t really care about Palestinians but their interests align with supporting armed groups against Israel
You don’t seem to get it. There won’t be a Palestine if this war keeps escalating. Because Iran will annihilate it along with Israel.
Believe it or not, Palestine doesn’t have a giant radiation shield.
Also, the idea that millions of dead Israelis and Iranians even if nukes aren’t used is worth it because of Palestine is extremely ethically messed up.
And what is stopping Gaza complete destruction right now?
