Why do I lowkey kinda agree with them and want both Israel and Iran to lose?

I'm anti-war but I like these zero-boot many-plane approach to killing muslims. It's the best way to appease Israel. Why haven't we always done this?

I agree. If this is the future of US intervention I could lowkey see the neocons rebounding.

So an anti war/pro regime protest is near where I'm going to be (I'm traveling for work). Would people be interested in pics if I see anyone "unique" or funny?

Absolutely.

I don't know if the Ayatollah is dead, but sperging out and bombing all the Gulf countries—and obvious civilian targets, at that—is not a good way for Iran to appear like it's the poor victim of zionist aggression. It just makes people in the Gulf realize that Iran was planning on doing something like this the entire time. It's like the third worldist version of the Samson Option, but less effective and much more spergy and retarded.

The war is an existential one for the Iranian regime, if Iran loses the mullahs and their supporters will literally die. Doing whatever it takes to win takes precedence over literally everything.

This is what happens when instead of learning about politics in school from actually educated people.
You have kids learning about world politics on 15 second bits over subway surfer footage and videos of gloved hands squeezing slime.

Right, but last time they just did a pre-warned explosion at a US base in the Gulf. This time, they're flying drones at civilian apartments. It's abundantly clear now to any intelligent observer in the Gulf that Iran actually would just start exploding their cities if they wanted to and had the capability—not just foreign military assets.

Last time doesn't matter in this case, it is an ideology driven thing because they're a different sect than the gulf states and there has always sort of been an axis between them. Although they trade and generally don't do much, they are MATI at each other.

The gulf states have extensively petitioned and acted against Iran and see it as a permanent threat so long as it has the whole ayotollah thing going on. Not too long ago (literally like a decade ago) Saudi Arabia had wahabism and women couldn't drive and they got rid of it basically entirely (it was also something that generated religious extremists that fly planes into towers).

The region has changed and modernized a lot, but Iran has always been an existential thread and on top of direct military action they control the Strait of Hormuz and can fuck up the gulf economies and world energy supply on or off like the switch of a lightbulb. It is because of the Strait as well as the threat to gulf states that no one has ever taken direct action toward them.

TLDR: Everyone already knew Iran would do exactly this if they got seriously hit, because hitting those gulf countries and destabilizing them economically/politically hurts the USA and Israel hardcore and would likely make them back off straight away (it seems the rockets have stopped flying at this present moment)
