minus-squareFlying SquidMlinkfedilinkEnglish5•7 hours agoMy problem is that I don’t trust Israel’s claim that this was precise and I also don’t trust Iran’s claim that if it is contained, they won’t retaliate. Because I don’t trust either government at all.

Israel’s interest is escalating and prolonging the conflict to grab more land and kill more Arabs and Persians. Iran’s interest is de-escalation since they’re in no shape to fight a war with Israel, and the US.
