The question isn't whether Iran has balls.
The question is if they have Nukes.
Best case, they fuck around, but the Iron dome shoots it down. Then the whole world gives them an unmerciful beat down for trying.

Hamas isn't just a group of Palestinian terrorists.
They are the elected government of Gaza. There is a huge difference there.
Israeli war planes have destroyed the Iranian consulate in Damascus, killing at least seven people, including a senior commander in the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps Quds force. Iran’s foreign minister, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, said: 'We consider this aggression to have violated all diplomatic norms and international treaties. Benjamin Netanyahu has completely lost his mental balance due to the successive failures in Gaza and his failure to achieve his Zionist goals.' Iran added that several long-serving diplomats had been killed alongside Brig Gen Mohammad Reza Zahedi in the attack. Among them was reported to be Zahedi’s deputy, Sardar Haji Rahimi

Damn!!! Looks like they blew the concrete off the rebar on the target building, and didn't even scratch the buildings adjacent.
I'd be impressed with a controlled demolition going that well, never mind a missile strike.

The CIA created AL Quedia, not the Taliban. But your point is still valid.

I would not be suprised if both a missle strike and some local demolition was involved. The convenience of the adjacent (and inactive) Canadian Embassy (which is still Canadian property and afforded protections by the host country) provides a potentially valuable tool for both staging ops or intelligence gathering.

Yeah but the tactical results of the strike also lend obvious credence to counter claims of both retaliatory and preventive self defense against Iran's involvement with terrorist attacks targeting innocent Israeli citizens.
We'll see if this "broadens" the war any further. I have no doubt the iranians were taking advantage of their embassy in syria to direct aid and intelligence to hamas and hezbollah. The Israelis saw an opportunity and took it. The israelis are fighting for their existence so they are unlikely to give two shits about world opinion.
This is a provocation, but so was the Israeli decision to bomb the nuclear plant inside syria in 2007. No major war broke out after that incident.

The hypocrisy of the biden administration knows no bounds. They have no cause to criticize Israel compared to their little stunt at the end of the Afghan withdrawal. Of course an independent investigation concluded no one in the US was accountable.

He smiles when he misleads and lies during televised interviews. He's a sneaky whinny little bitch of a man. Perfect fit for the Biden administration.

I'm waiting to see if Iran ICBMs Israel in the next 48 hours.
I have a suspicion it's about to go down.

I dont think the Iranians are going to do it that way.If they hit Israel hard enough with a missile strike ,The Isrealis may use nukes . And They may have to deal with the US military . That seems like a losing proposition to me. If they strike Israel its going to mean war with the US and Isreal.
they are going to have to find a round about way of Hurting Israel .
One possible way is to provide Hamas and Palestinians if they still can, with advanced weapons like drones, and manpads. maybe trained mercenaries , this allows them to fuck Israel without a war breaking out .

Like they have been doing for decades, let Hamas or Hezbolah do their dirty work.
I doubt they have the technical ability to do so. If they strike it will be something cowardly like the attack on an Israeli embassy in a different part of the world (like they did before). More likely they use Hezbollah or some other group.

No, it has to be more intense than that.Im pretty sure they are going to respond, but not the way People think.They really cant.

Isreal won't use nukes unless they either get nuked first, or are in real existential danger.
Even a massive missile strike wouldn't do it.
It *would* engender Isreal (and hopefully us too) unleashing holy hell on Iran with conventional weapons though.
