In an interview with NBC News, Hossein Amirabdollahian refused to acknowledge that Israel was behind the recent attack on his country.

Iran's foreign minister on Friday refused to acknowledge that Israel was behind the recent attack on his country and described the weapons that were used as more like children's toys.

"What happened last night was not a strike," the foreign minister, Hossein Amirabdollahian, said in an interview with NBC News' Tom Llamas. "They were more like toys that our children play with  not drones."

Amirabdollahian, who spoke to NBC News in New York where he was attending a U.N. Security Council session, said Iran was not planning to respond unless Israel launches a significant attack.

"As long as there is no new adventurism by Israel against our interests, then we are not going to have any new reactions," he said.

Yeah need some proxies to keep the Nazis at bay. Before they end up try to expand their Lebensraum into your country.

Bonus points for supporting people fighting against Nazis.

You're rights its just God is the Greatest Death to America Death to Israel A Curse Upon the Jews Victory to Islam.

They found the word "death" twice.

Why not three times?

Why mention the jews at all, if the enemy is only the state of israel?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 5 months ago

Because israel keeps bringing it up.

All of them are national liberation struggles.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Ah yes, liberating a nation by establishing yet another radical theocratic dictatorship.

Hezbollah and Houthi are Shia and very useful to disrupt Sunni dominance on the arabian peninsula. The Kurdish, Iranian and Baluchi lineratiom struggles got crushed by Iran, while their stqunchly supported Assad in crushing syrian national liberation struggles.

So you are saying Iran funds Hamas? That wasn't my impression.

Hezbollah and Houthis are much better than Israel.

I thought Iran's support for Hamas was widely acknowledged.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

OK, funds - yes, I meant it's not the only or the main controller of it.

Huthis's main gole and reason for existing is the destruction of Israel, america and the west.

Brutality taking over yemmen is just a side quest.

Hizpala main reason for existing in to kill Israel.

If you really feel these are noble existences then I can only wish you a peaceful life.

Brutality taking over yemmen is just a side quest.

They weren't that brutal until being invaded by Saudis, just saying.

Hizpala main reason for existing in to kill Israel.

No, that's Hamas. Hezbollah's is to protect Lebanon from Israel.

If you really feel these are noble existences then I can only wish you a peaceful life.

One existence I know isn't noble is to lie on the Web to reduce the expenses of a genocide.

Comments like these are why I really don't care how many Palestinians die in Israel's war, Israel is fighting for its right to exist while people like this are calling for the extermination of Israelis.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

It usually takes much more to sincerely not care like this. Say, seeing all of your family butchered before your eyes and some raped.

No, what you do is pretend to be driven by some justified emotion, while in fact you were a supporter of a genocide from the very beginning.

This is very clear, because decent people driven by justified emotions usually try quite a lot to not stop caring about death.
