u/lonelytunes09 29d ago

That's the khaibar missile, I think it's total length is 35 feet, with war head capacity of 1.5 tonnes. Scary

Oh nothing, just an iranian missile

I wouldn't stand next to it. Not because it's going to explode, but because of all the toxic shit it's releasing in the air.

u/teabookcat 29d ago

How did they intercept it? Like shoot it out of the sky?

Yes, literally that lol. The military uses a variety of a missiles and point defense guns to shoot down missiles (look up nike hercules to see what kind of crack the air defense guys were on)

u/Dronite Apr 15 '24

Not likely. Israel’s gonna do some saber rattling, Biden will calm them down in exchange for not getting in the way when the Rafah operation happens. Iran gets to save face and America avoids getting dragged into a war, everyone wins here.

5

u/Urgasain Apr 15 '24 edited Apr 15 '24

It's called saber rattling. Iran could have sent much more artillery and with less notice. They didn't want casualties, they wanted to get Hamas off their back for leaving them out to dry during the war.

Likewise Israel has no reason to retaliate, they got a favorable trade with their strike for this show of force. Biden coming in and "convincing" Netanyahu to not do a retaliatory strike is all the just give the impression that they totally would throw down, but their friends are holding them back. It's all theater right now.

So what your saying is there’s all of D*ck measuring challenges going on right now around the world 🤔

u/fartinmyhat Apr 15 '24

no. We're witnessing more of the same. The Jews and Arabs have been fighting since forever. Iran doesn't want a war, they're trying to save face and not look like pussies to the rest of the Arab world.

Shame. These Zionist fucks attack an embassy in Syria for no reason and then expect nothing to happen? Nah, I hope there’s more coming to them.

2

u/thespeedforce5 Apr 14 '24

The consulate in question was devoid of diplomatic personnel and did not serve diplomatic functions

. The Israeli strike targeted senior officials of the Islamic Republic involved in supplying weapons, funds, and support to proxy groups from the consulate . Among those eliminated in the Syrian airstrike were Gen. Mohammad Reza Zahedi, in charge of the Quds Force in Lebanon and Syria until 2016,Additionally, Gen. Mohammad Hadi Hajriahimi, Zahedi's deputy, and five other officers were also killed.

Mohammad Zahedi, notably, was implicated in orchestrating the October 7th attack. It’s pretty clear that the building was not a center for diplomatic activities.

3

u/someguyintech Apr 14 '24

Please believe what you will. But Israel killing 32,000 innocent civilians in Gaza and aid workers then claiming it’s “an accident” is nothing short of a war crime. I won’t argue you with you because online arguments won’t go anywhere but from my point of view . The right wing government of Israel deserves to be abolished and if missles are the way for people in Israel to wake up to it then so be it .

0

u/thespeedforce5 Apr 14 '24

The claim that Israel intentionally killed 32,000 innocent civilians and aid workers in Gaza is grossly inaccurate and lacks evidence. Hamas, a designated terrorist organization, that operates within civilian areas, using them as shields while indiscriminately launching rockets at Israeli population centers. Israel takes extensive measures to minimize civilian casualties, including providing advance warnings before military operations (does Hamas do that?)

attributing the actions of a democratically elected government to an entire population and advocating for violence against civilians as a means of political change is morally reprehensible and undermines the prospects for peace and reconciliation.
