Timeline: How the Iran-Israel conflict has escalated to brink of all out war

Western diplomats fear escalation of tensions could cause regional war in the Middle East, although some experts believe the effectiveness of the Iron Dome means Netanyahu has already won.

    This is just my view of what's going on. Iran views its military actions as essential to deter future attacks and maintain national sovereignty. Retaliation helps Iran preserve the balance of power in the Middle East and reinforce its status as a significant regional power.Military responses against Israel enhance the Iranian government's legitimacy both domestically and with regional allies. Iran positions itself as a defender of Muslims and opposes Western and Israeli policies, portraying itself as a leader against perceived imperialism. The activities of Iran’s elite forces, such as the Quds Force, highlight their commitment to Iran's revolutionary ideals and active opposition to Israel. By using advanced weaponry, Iran aims to showcase its military capabilities and deter further aggression from Israel.Iran employs drones and missiles to effectively project power and balance the military asymmetry with Israel, minimizing risks of direct conflict.

    The Islamic ideology is written into the constitution of Islamic state irrespective of who becomes the supreme leader. And as khamenei said the protection of the Islamic state is the paramount responsibility of every devout Muslim and it’s more important than even their Mehdi and everything is sacrifice able and justifiable for its protection.

Israel is a British /American creation that would not be fighting any war without the huge support it receives, mainly from the US - as we all know

    The assassinated individual, Zahedi, was a key figure through which Iran controlled and supported organizations such as Hezbollah and Hamas. By the way, in the April 1 strike, about 5 Hezbollah soldiers were also killed in the same building. If you imagine that Iran is minding its own business and is not involved in all kinds of messes like the October 2023 attack or those Houthis in Yemen sinking commercial ships, you are naive. On the other hand, Iran had every right to respond, but I have the impression that the attack had such modest results that they rather ruined their reputation

    "Countdown to war"... From PL: Is this a "Game of some sorts" Western media likes to play with their headlines? Asking because from here a few km from the Ukrainian / belarusian / russian borders, it seems as if the further away you get from "Da Front", the easier it gets for the media to use "splash" headlines, no?Then again, none of us are splashing the rhahh rhahh... I'm asking because after all, the situation in Israel is indirectly affecting us directly. How about a little less rahh rhahh and a bit more restrained Headlines? We will watch your videos the same. Cause "Countdown to war" sound a whole lot like what da kremlin looooves to read... In PL? We know better than that.

    Because they displacing the Palestinians, the original people of Isreal. Instead of living peacefully side by side with the original people over the years, the J word/IDF (backed by the USA and UK) have been displacing the palestines. They claim the land belongs to them according to the “bible/torah” yet they were put there after the 2nd World War By the USA & UK due to what H done to them.
