Everyone knew that there was going to be some response by Iran for the Israeli military strikes in Syria that targeted Iranian positions, but it does seem that Iran had been waiting to see what Trump would do before deciding just when (and perhaps how) to attack. I would say that this attack was intended to send multiple messages, that Iran is willing to fight over their positions in Syria, and that they are going to defy the US now that we have broken our agreement.
 
Netanyahu is a huge asshole he is just itching to start a confrontation with iran to drag america into it. Gulf of tonkin anyone?
 
Iran can't win this. They don't have many options. What they did last night was stupid.

Israel alone could easily handle Iran. With USA by their side, Iran stands a ZERO chance of winning.
 
Trump reneges on iran deal then Netanyahu start conflict america join conflict - war.

Who care who has the bigger dick this was planned out in advance imo to have a incident so there can be a war. Israel has been striking targets in Syria since january but recently hitting Iranian proxy troops why? Netanyahu wants a war and Trump will oblige.

You signing up to die for a fake war for trump?


"According to Syrian army sources, Israeli aircraft struck the al-Qutaifa area near Damascus from inside Lebanese airspace on January 9, 2018. Syrian air defenses claimed hitting one of the planes and intercepting ground-to-ground rockets launched from Israeli-held territory in the Golan Heights.[142] According to sources from the Syrian opposition, Israeli aircraft attacked a Hezbollah arms depot in a military airport near Damascus on January 17, 2018.[143] On February 7, 2018, Syrian state media said that Israeli warplanes attacked a military position in the Damascus countryside from Lebanese airspace, with Syrian air defenses destroying most of the missiles. Other reports stated that the target was the Scientific Research Center in Jamraya, west of Damascus, and that the same position had been targeted by Israel twice before. Some activists claim that the position contains arms depots used by Hezbollah.[144]

Israel conducted further airstrikes in Syria in February, 2018 which were believed to target weapon transfers to Hezbollah.[145] Subsequently, an Iranian-made drone was shot down over northern Israel and an IAF F-16 was shot down by Syrian anti-aircraft fire in retaliatory strikes.[146] Both aircrew ejected and landed safely before the plane crashed near the Harduf kibbutz and the IAF followed up with further strikes against targets Syrian air defenses and Iranian drone-control facilities.[147][148]
Russia and Syria accused Israel of carrying out an airstrike on April 9, 2018, against Tiyas air base, also known as the T-4 air base, outside Palmyra in central Syria. The Russian defense ministry said the Israeli aircraft launched eight missiles at the base from Lebanese airspace, five of which were intercepted by Syrian air defense systems. According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitor, at least 14 people were killed and more were wounded. Among the casualties were Iranian citizens.[149]

The Syrian military reported that rockets had struck several bases in the Hama and Aleppo countryside on April 29, 2018. An opposition source said one of the locations hit was the 'Brigade 47' army base near Hama city, widely known as a recruitment center for Iranian-backed Shiite militias fighting alongside Assad forces. The Syrian opposition stated that 38 regime soldiers were killed and 57 were injured.[150] Unconfirmed reports stated that an Iranian general was among the dead.[151]
Arab media reported that on May 6, 2018, eight members of the Syrian Air Force's 150th Air Defense Division were killed in a mysterious explosion in the morning on the Damascus-Suwayda road. Engineers and soldiers from the battalion, which is responsible for the operation of the anti-aircraft system S-200 and was responsible for the downing of the Israeli F-16 two months ago, took a transport vehicle and suddenly the explosion took place. According to Syrian sources, eight were killed and Israel was blamed for assassinating them.[152]

According to Syrian media, on 8 May 2018, Israeli warplanes struck several military bases in Syria where there is significant Iranian presence. Two Israeli missiles that were targeting a weapons convoy at a base were downed near the al-Kiswah industrial zones close to Damascus.[153]
On May 10, according to the Israel Defense Forces, Iranian forces on the Syrian-held side of the Golan Heights fired around 20 projectiles towards Israeli army positions causing no damage or injuries.[154] Israel responded with rounds of rocket fire into Syria.[155]
Israeli Defence Minister Avigdor Lieberman said, “I hope we finished this chapter, and everyone got the messa

Delusional often? Bibi is a warmonger more than happy to drag America into it to cover his ass. It's the only way he could win in the long run short of nuclear weapons. He won't actually attack Iran but rather Syria, do as much damage as possible so that no matter who wins the civil war the victory will be Pyrrhic & Syria in no position to challenge Israel. And he'll blame Iran in the process.

Israel is a rogue state and so is Iran. It’s just a matter of who has more power. There is no right and wrong between them.

So which country has had a rogue nuclear weapons program for 50 years & which country is a signatory to the NPT with their nuclear facilities under IAEA supervision? Which country bombs their neighbors because they feel like it?

It should be obvious that I actually agree with you on this issue. It surprises me & causes me to question my own sanity, yours being what it is & all. Kinda like finding a diamond in a goat's ass.

Iran can't really do much against Israeli air power and missile strikes. Israel can't really take any territory against Iran with ground troops without suffering heavy losses. Neither side wants a direct confrontation. Each side will defend their homeland with zeal. Make no mistake, a conventional war between Iran and Israel will be long, bloody, and costly. The best hope for peace is the JCPOA which gave moderates in Iran a foothold to gain influence. Trump pulling out of the deal was cheered on by hardliners in both the US and in Iran. They are cheering for war. Let's hope China and Europe can somehow salvage this situation.
 
Well. Who could have seen this coming amiright?

https://www.cnn.com/2018/05/11/middleeast/iran-israel-syria-intl/index.html

Tehran (CNN)Iran says it is ready to restart nuclear enrichment on an "industrial scale" in the wake of the US decision to abandon the deal that curbs the country's nuclear ambitions.

In a statement published Friday, Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif said he would embark on a round of international diplomacy to try and save the deal. At the same time, the country would make preparations to restart its nuclear program, he said.
