Why do some countries 'have the right to defend themselves' and others 'need to show restraint'?

[andreas]

Iran has a right to defend itself against israel's attack.

[Haa_r]

So Iran doesn’t have a right to defend itself and its people?

[rayjay]

Tell Bibi to stop the slaughter. Bibii is just egging them on, and then crying to US " you better have my back"

Oil and gas price will increase 15000 %%😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Iran can protect itself the same way Israel is saying it’s doing. You can’t determine how they react. Iran could react the same way Israel did, and say that they won’t stop until Israel is no more.

Woof woof woof, a dog barks at a tree. Ten years later; woof, woof, woof, the dog is still barking and the tree is still standing. That dog is Iran.

Persia has a right to defend itself. And I'm a US citizen saying this. I loathe my own goverment

[ericwright]

[dk]

Iran will respond with harsh words and call for a " harsh response "

[problemsolver]

don't worry Israel is a sores of "security" in the regen.

[TR_Emeritus]

Why am I getting the feeling that Iran will NOT attack Israel and will act blur and pretend that nothing happened? lol

[YusufHaddad]

Syrian attack or attack in Syria? these spin doctors are bold.

[williambudd]

Its not about Iran having a right to defend itself, it is about does Iran have the capability to defend itself?

[cletusjones]

Iran won’t do much in response. They want nuclear weapons, not all out war.

[mattinterweb]

Er, Rome is in Europe, not the middle East.

[agakbingungnih]

Israel attacked the Iranian consulate in Syria and now the Israelis and Americans are worried that Iran would retaliate? Well what did they expect? That Iran would just sit still as if nothing happened?
