Iran’s legal, rational, and legitimate response to the terrorist acts of the Zionist regime—which involved targeting Iranian nationals and interests and infringing upon the national sovereignty of the Islamic Republic of Iran—has been duly carried out. Should the Zionist regime…

Iran made good last night.
Let’s keep this train rolling.
Iran said its supreme leader made the decision to fire dozens of missiles into Israel as retaliation for the Israeli invasion of Lebanon and the recent killings of leaders of Hezbollah and Hamas, two of the main groups in Iran’s so-called axis of resistance.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) said the decision had been made by Ali Khamenei with the backing of the supreme national security council (SNSC) and the Iranian defence ministry.
Iran’s president Masoud Pezeshkian hailed the attack as “a decisive response to the aggression of the Zionist regime,” adding: “Let Netanyahu know that Iran is not a belligerent, but it stands firmly against any threat…. Do not enter into a conflict with Iran.”
The Iranian mission at the UN said the actions were a “legal, rational and legitimate response to the terrorist attacks of the Zionist regime, which involved the targeting of Iranian nationals and interests and infringing on the national sovereignty of Iran”.
It added that, should Israel “dare to respond or commit further acts of malevolence, a subsequent and crushing response will ensue … Regional states and the Zionists’ supporters are advised to part ways with the regime.”
Iranian officials added there were further waves of ballistic missiles ready to go and said the launch of the attacks was signalled to western forces in advance.
This is just a small glimpse of the terror Israelis faced tonight as Iran launched 181 ballistic missiles, sending 10 million people to bomb shelters.

“Imagine if this was your family.” The nerve of these Jews.
Iran’s high-risk decision to launch ballistic missiles against Israel reflects a growing consensus inside the Iranian elite that its decision not to mount a military reprisal after the assassination of Haniyeh in Tehran in July was a strategic mistake.
Hardliners say the restraint gave a green light to the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, to mount further assassinations against “resistance leaders”.
Yeah. No shit.
They contrasted it with the firm response taken in April by the previous administration, led by the now deceased then president, Ebrahim Raisi, after the attack on Iran’s consulate in Damascus.
The current president, Masoud Pezeshkian, said he did not respond to Haniyeh’s death because he had been given assurances that Israel was on the verge of signing a ceasefire deal within a week or two.
No such deal occurred, and Pezeshkian felt betrayed.
rofl
Retard alert!
Frankly, this guy is probably a Mossad spy.
Iranian officials had also been alarmed by Netanyahu’s claim at the UN last week that one of his war objectives is to impose a change in the balance of power in the Middle East.
In such circumstances, Iran felt it simply could not abandon Hezbollah and start to look weak across the region. Anyway, they believed, Netanyahu was determined to go up the escalatory ladder, so it was necessary to confront him. There had even been claims spread by some Gulf states that Iran was abandoning Hezbollah.
Well, it looked like that on the Daily Stormer as well.
The fact is, that is what Pezeshkian appears to have been trying to do, and it took the 85-year-old Ayatollah to come out and demand a real response to these Jews.
It was sort of funny that I published an article complaining about Iran doing nothing but whining just hours before the strike. People commented that it aged badly. But I wrote exactly the truth – Iran did dodge their promises for months, based on the idiotic or malicious claim by Pezeshkian that “don’t worry, the US is going to start enforcing the rules soon.”
They made good last night, but it came as a surprise.
Pezeshkian needs to be run-out and replaced with a “hardliner.” You don’t need a pussy who is probably a Mossad spy running your country in the middle of an existential war.
NOTICE how civilians are NEVER the target.
Hezbøllah and Iran target military bases and are called terrørists.
Israel ALWAYS k!lls civilians and is called the victim.
