Unlikely to make much of a difference in the WW3 stakes.
He was a terrorist leader after all.
It will significantly escalate the war in the ME, however.

From an objective standpoint, I don't see what Iran does here.

Israel is destroying all of Iran's proxies, killed the Hamas and Hezbollah leaders and Iran's credibility is deteriorating rapidly.

On one hand, they have to stop the bleeding and do something to respond to this. On the other, I don't think Israel is going to "take the win" again and ignore another direct attack from Iran.

And I think Iran is terrified of that. Specifically , they're terrified that if they attack Israel directly again, Israel will respond by targeting Iran's nuclear facilities and that means war. And war means you're getting your sh*t f*cked by the US military which effectively guarantees your regime's days are numbered.

They're in a no-win situation.

I am reading now that Nasrallah's replacement has been killed literally hours after taking over.
Quite a dangerous job being the leader of Hezbollah as it turns out.

With Israel it always comes back to the simple truth that if their enemies laid down their weapons, there would be peace in the Middle East almost immediately. But if Israel laid down it's weapons they would be annihilated almost immediately.

I can't stand Israel's warmongering government, but on issues like attacking Hezbollah, where is the argument? Good for the Israelis.

Just reading that Britain's armed forces has played its part in supporting Israel in the latest Iran attacks.

They say Israel has a right to defend itself.

Why the f**k are we getting involved? Let Israel defend itself, had they not bombed the living f**k out of Lebanon and killed so many civilians Iran wouldn't have gotten involved. Starmer and co saying they stand fully behind Israel, how about standing fully behind the innocent Palestinians being murdered daily !!

If Hezbollah hadn't been firing rockets into Israel and threatening to do more, then Israel wouldn't have attacked Lebanon

What business is it of Hezbollah to be doing that? Why would Israel not retaliate? Any other country would respond if it was being attacked with rockets.

Because Israel have bombed the f**k out of Lebanon since the Hamas atrocity, they have been criticised from all quarters for their excessive retaliation, thats why Hezbollah got involved.

I think you said it before, if Israel put down their weapons they will still be attacked because Hamas want them gone, but I don't agree with that. There is zero chance of peace while Israel continue to murder innocent people, there is a bigger chance of peace when Hamas are being the aggressors.

Lets not forget, the Palestinians get supported by the neutrals because they are seen as being hard done by, its far easier for that sympathy to disappear when the Palestinians are the ones being aggressors, the marginals will not support them and without support they are f***ked.

Israel went too far with their retaliation, its created a swell of support for the Palestinians. Without the marches and condemnation of Israel Hamas have no real justification for attacking Israel. Yes, there are of course major issues that would still need to be resolved but at least dialogue can be started in good faith, its impossible when people are being bombed to f**k !

That’s patently untrue. Hamas have IN THEIR CONSTITUTION that they want to wipe out Israel and expel all Jews from the region. That’s a fact. Maybe inconvenient, but it’s true. Israel get criticised for Zionism but nobody bats an eyelid at Hamas’ stated constitutional aims to expel all Jews, and help create a WORLDWIDE Islamic caliphate. Israel want the world’s only Jewish state, an area the size of Wales, and Hamas want to help take over the world, but Israel are the baddies right?

What would you have Israel do? I agree btw that they have gone too far, and that BN’s government are a bunch of c****. But replace the Israeli government and you solve that problem. You’re still stuck with Israel’s enemies trying to murder it’s civilians with rockets every single day.

f**k Hamas, and f**k Hezbollah.
