On 1 April 2024, the Iranian consulate annex building adjacent to the Iranian embassy in Damascus was destroyed by an Israeli airstrike.

America supporting Israel for all nonsense

[barrylafleur]

When it comes to this rule of law that keeps world order, when did bombing diplomatic embassies become something we do not condemn vehemently? Is this something we want to normalize in international relations? Why is nobody talking about this?

[a.j.]

"Don't." Oh, that'll scare 'em, Joe.

It’s crazy how government has say over who our allies are and not the people.

So Israel attacked the Iranian consulate in Siria and didn’t expect a response mmmm. Why didn’t anyone criticize the attack from Israel?

Iran has the rights to defend itself ♥️🇮🇷

[franksantos]

Americans don't stand with Biden on this.

[Pace]

Even hitler didn't attack embassies

[fullmontymayhem]

Maybe fix the headline to clarify that it'd be retaliation for Israel committing an act of war towards Iran?

[ZeginMakesMusic]

Lets all pray that Iran stops Israel from all of this madness.

[rajinald]

Did that idiot actually say "don't " again? Has that ever worked?

[Yash]

And I quote dont punch someone if you cannot defend yourself alone

[Rakeshb]

Iran is defending it's territory against Israel . But usa got to work with Israel as if Iran is harming them .
Hypocrisy at it peaks .

[vimmentors]

Somebody needs to remind Tehran that Israel has missiles that work with nukes.
