    It’s not retaliatory unless Israel has (recently) attacked Iran, which they haven’t. It should be considered revenge, not retaliation.

    Presumably Israel will respond in force. I’d hate to be living in Tehran right now.

      Um, did you not see the part where they blew up a fucking Iranian consulate in Syria is which Iranian sovereign soil?!

      If you don’t consider that an attack, what would your thought be if someone attacked a US or Russian consulate in another country.

        Considering what the US did after Iran stormed their embassy in Tehran, this is all very ironic, but in the sad way

      Didn’t Israel attacked Iran’s embassy in siria like 2 weeks ago?

      It should be considered revenge, not retaliation.

      Those are synonyms.

      Isn’t attacking an embassy effectively the same thing as attacking directly on that country’s soil?

      Tehran will be fine, but all of the power plants and other critical resources? if Israel can stuxnet the uranium enrichment system how difficult is it to take out basic infrastructure?
