"Operation Honest Promise was successfully carried out between last night and this morning, and achieved all its objectives," General Mohammad Bagheri, head of Iran's armed forces, said on television on Sunday.
"France has made an important contribution," he said in an interview with foreign journalists in Israel, including journalist Samuel Forey, who writes for Le Monde on the ground. "France has very good technology, planes, radars – and I know they have helped patrol the airspace," he added, according to Reuters.
exactly.Iran statement was that they consider the matter closed following their retaliatory strike.
this was just a display of simian chest beating, mostly for domestic consumption, by the mullah scum that rule iran.
home support for the regime in iran is weak, inflation is running at 40%, people have had enough of the oppression, and the exaggerated reports in todays iranian media of the carnage in israel caused by this attack will at least temporarily take the pressure of the regime.
the americans and everyone else were forewarned. tel aviv, jerusalem, religious sites and heavily populated areas were not targeted, and it was a very good opportunity for israel and its allies to put their defensive capabilities to a solid test, for which they will be grateful. they will have learned a lot about their systems thanks to this, the last thing the gulf states want is a wider war in that area and i doubt that israel will initiate much in the way of direct retaliation. biden wont allow it, although netanyahu would love to.
Seems that our airing of generalizations and prejudice against the Indian acid throwers are long overdue
Netanyahu's government will retaliate in a big way inspite of what Biden will allow. Will likely be a direct attack on Iranian soil. Targets will be mostly military facilities and any facilities suspected of nuclear weapon development.
He will do so with complete political coverage supported within the government and by a vast majority of Israeli citizens.
Iran's attack has given Netanyahu and his far right cabinet free rein to "justifiably" to do what they have wanted for years. War with Iran! It also took the heat off international opposition to what Israel is doing in Gaza and the west bank.
"Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect,"
Britain is ‘now involved’ in Middle East conflict, warns Ellwood
"Now"
This is from the mouth of an "educated" man.
Mr Ellwood said: “It’s very clear that Britain will stand with Israel to help defend its guys and its soil along with the United States as well. But we need to recognise we’re now involved in this too.”
The Crusades/West will not give up the Holy Land, simple as that.
Israel will settle the score and bomb Iran.
Can I have 2 or 3 Hallelujahs followed by a few amens.
Lest ye forget, it was Iran that was retaliating after an Israeli attack on Iranian soil.
If anything, Benny did this to initiate a conflict with Iran.
If Israel strikes Iran again, it will not be "settling the score", but escalating the situation.
Your reading of why Benny started this is probably correct.
The next post may be brought to you by my little bitch Spamdreth
If Israel attack Iran then US, UK etc. should withdraw their support. Help to defend but not to attack.
The right wing Israelis are out of control and need reeling in. The government needs to go...
Israel already attacked Iran.
Iran vows revenge after two generals killed in Israeli strike on Syria consulate | Syria | The Guardian
iran, through their proxies, have been attacking israel for many years. israel is merely defending itself.
israels destruction of the iranian embassy that was being used for military purposes was allowable under international law. it was a n adefensive action, not an attack.
you suckers of raghead cock are pathetic.
I have no dog in this fight. I'm merely stating what is obvious to anyone with half a fucking brain cell, but clearly beyond your protozoan intellect.
An attack on a consulate is an attack by one sovereign nation on the territory of another.
That's what prompted the Iranian response.
You retarded, gibbering simian, you.
'arry
in this case you are, and not for the first time and certainly not for the last, talking horseshit.An attack on a consulate is an attack by one sovereign nation on the territory of another.
Protocol I to the Geneva Conventions, Article 52.
Attacks shall be limited strictly to military objectives. In so far as objects are concerned, military objectives are limited to those objects which by their nature, location, purpose or use make an effective contribution to military action and whose total or partial destruction, capture or neutralization, in the circumstances ruling at the time, offers a definite military advantage.
the iranian embassy was host to leaders of a proscribed terrorist regime, and therefore a legitimate military target under the geneva convention.
No Harry, they attacked the Iran Embassy in Damascus. Iran has retaliated. That should be the end of the matter.
Israel is sailing too close to the wind. It has rapidly lost public support for its actions in Gaza. It cannot afford to lose further support by attacking military bases in Iran. Israel should get no help if it chooses to do so.
Hmm
Surely not
The Vienna Convention on Consular Relations is an international treaty signed in 1963, governing consular relations between sovereign states. It was signed following a UN Conference on Consular Relations.
The Vienna Convention decrees that embassies are inviolable and local law enforcement agencies of host countries are not allowed to enter the premises. They can enter only with the consent of the head of the mission.
Under international law, embassies of countries are treated as their sovereign territories — not those of the country hosting them.
Diplomats also have diplomatic or consular immunity, which means they can be exempt from some of the laws of the host country and are protected from arrest or detention.
However, they can be declared persona non grata by the host country, which means the host country is allowed to send a foreign consular staff member back to the home country.
In effect, this means that the bombing of the Iranian consulate in Damascus was — under international law — at par with an attack on Iranian soil.
