The land-stealers start an illegal war of aggression?

What a shock that would be. Never happened before. Nope. Never. They're ready to fight to the last American.

nope. they said they would hit back if they were hit...big difference and they will fight to protect their country without Americans as they have done in all their wars to date, unless you in your cleverness know better and can provide evidence for your statement..meantime, Iran's proxies are getting support from Russia and Turkey, but you seem content with that

Perfectly content. Open sources show that Iran spends somewhere between $10 to $20 billion per year on defense, depending on oil prices. US spends that much on operations alone in it's dumb land wars in Asia in a couple weeks and 100 times that in a year on it's bloated national security state. They pose about as much a threat to the US as a mouse to an elephant.

When was the last time Iran launched a war of aggression? Israel: 1967. 1982. 2006. 2008. 2018 gaza border. Unless you don't count shooting unarmed civilians in a de facto concentration camp as a crime.

American resupply was quite significant replenishing spare parts, ammo and weapons during the October war.

The u.s military IS the Israeli military for all intensive purposes.
Without u.s grants, weaponry, Intel, and recon it would be hard pressed to meet any for,aside from the 3rd world militaries that they've defeated.
I agree with you on Israel's right to peace and proactive pre emptive self defence

Fairly passive-aggressive statement from Israel, nothing new here. Course they'll strike Iran with everything they've got if Tel Aviv is targeted directly from an Iranian source.

So their statement is not really all that impressive.

D.Plowman,
You're right. But Israel has been signalling a lot more than usual lately and I have to wonder.

The Taliban caused the Afghan War by allowing the house guest to attack The World Trade Center and and Washington D.C, and murdering 3,000+ people in the process.

The the Taliban refused to turn over the perpetrators on the grounds of hospitality.

Israel did attack in 1967 1st after being attacked by other states in 1948 and 1956 1st.

In 1967, when Arab states were maneuvering to attack Israel, Israel launch a spoiling attack. This is sound defense policy.
