Power struggles, war and conflict has seemingly always been rife in the Middle East, and the reluctance of Iran and Hezbollah to retaliate following the assassinations of Fouad Shukr and Ismail Haniyeh sheds light on a significant, yet overlooked, narrative: both have consistently shown restraint and a preference for peace over violence.
Here’s a reply to you Steve. It’s obvious you remain brainwashed and no matter how obvious the evidence is you remain ignorant to reality and that’s because you choose to. Open your eyes!
Deceivers invariably call those who disagree with them liars, supporting those accusations with more lies. In the US our sacred “freedom of speech” has spiraled down into unlimited “freedom to lie.” Trust is gone.
Deceivers are quick to call everyone who disagrees with them liars while using more lies as evidence to support their own lies. In America our sacred “freedom of speech” has degenerated into “freedom to lie.” Trust is destroyed.
Iranians are Persians, the heirs to one of the oldest civilizations on the planet. They are the same people who gave us the concept of freedom of religion, and they still practice that to an extent.
I've studied Persian history. Persians tend to be patient and seldom attack an enemy before they have made extensive preparations. They plan ahead, and don't move until they are good and ready.
They know that Israel wants to draw Iran into a shooting war with the US Empire, and it looks like they are determined to avoid giving Israel what it wants, which is typical long term Persian thinking.
If there's no American war with Iran, eventually American support for the apartheid state of Zionist genocidal maniacs will collapse, and the collapse of the apartheid state itself will follow in short order.
The Persians will wait. It is up to the American people to bring that day closer, not the Iranians, and they KNOW that.
Good comment - the only thing is - I don’t really see a time when American support for the “Zionist genocidal maniacs” will collapse. It might at a public level but not governmental… the Zionist influence is just too strong. Hope I’m wrong.
In that case American support for the apartheid state will collapse when the American government does. All empires are destined to collapse; it’s just a question of when and how.
Well said. As an American I've never had one passing anxious thought about Hezbollah or Iran. Terrorism is a projection of the Imperial State(s) upon the people it terrorizes, or wishes to terrorize, like blaming the homeowner for being robbed instead of the robber. Is Iran an aggressive, imperialist state? Quite the opposite, as the last time Iran engaged in open hostilities was when the US and Gulf State backed Saddam Hussein of Iraq attacked Iran in September 1980 (although this "tilt" toward Iraq policy didn't stop the US and Israel from selling weapons to Iran via the scandalous Iran-Contra affair). The Zionist problem/obsession in USA goes back well into the 19th century, a weird fusion/hybrid of Messianic belief with a secular face, of which Israel is the most discernible--and terrible--mask.
'The assassinations, far from being acts of self-defence, are aggressive moves aimed at silencing opposition and undermining movements that challenge U.S. and Israeli hegemony in the region.' Once again an accurate analysis of the failure by the West to criticise the real offernders. Shukran. Thank you!
“….and when diplomacy is prioritised over assassination and warfare and Israel and US are once and for all held to account by the global community for their war crimes”.
George I’d love to think that that will happen but I fear it will not as there isn’t an effective collective mechanism for them to do so as the necessarily ‘rule bound’ UN (probably despite their wishes) is incapable.
My fear is they will never be held to account and this escalates further….
Thank you

The most effective, scariest answer to the aggressor is: - I'll reserve my retaliation rights.

The problem with the US.....it never looks at anything in the long term.
Iran will get it's revenge eventually!

Their restraint is amazing. Thanks for acknowledging this, George.
Thank you.
Thank you for your amazing support Diana!
Brilliant!!

The arm of criticism cannot replace the criticism of arm. Mechanical force alone outmaneuver the mechanical force. Marx is succinct.
Oh shut up.
Beautifully and eloquently said Uaifo!!
You’re delusional as hell. You have more than one screw loose.
