    the Israeli limited strike against Iran was not weak, it was a delibrate message of respect to peaceloving nations such Nuclear Pakistan, Nato Member Turkiye, Azerbaijani partner, Armenia, Iraq, Turkmanistan and Afghansitan! Iran is employing its geographic location to shield from an Israeli severe military retaliation! in other words Iran's nuclear program is holding countries with shared borders as a hostage! the other shape of hiding behind premature babies 🍼🐣 Israel could successfully and brilliantly intercept 60 tons of explosive material, Iran failed so miserably to intercept 3 Israeli missiles! 3 missiles- three successful target hits!

    Not at all a retaliation... It's just an overgrown kid throwing tantrums
  • @raqamsonofmanasseh
    You mean Iran responded to Israeli taking out Iranian Generals that were visiting Syria.
  • @mkay3310
    They weren't retaliating, they were responding to Iran's retaliation. It's only a retaliation if they're settling the score.

    Israel and Iran have the right to defend themselves from each other.
  • @Arcturus.Raptor
    No Israel didn't retaliate. They test fired their weapon into Iran😂😂😂

    Huh. I didn't have "World War III started by Israel and Iran" on my bingo card.
  • @thanosianthemadtitanic
    the real issue is why should the U.S care and why do we keep sending them billions while our people suffer?
  • @mathisr.44
    Israel attacked Iran first. Iran had every right to take action
  • @kushanyourish3029
    Someone last week said even if Israel don’t retaliate, Media will do for them and that’s actually what they did 😂😂🤣
