Iran’s foreign minister on Saturday called on Israel to stop its attacks on Gaza, warning that the war might expand to other parts of the Middle East if Hezbollah joins the battle, and that would make Israel suffer “a huge earthquake.”

Hossein Amirabdollahian told reporters in Beirut that Lebanon’s Hezbollah group has taken all the scenarios of a war into consideration and Israel should stop its attacks on Gaza as soon as possible.

Israel considers Hezbollah its most serious immediate threat, estimating it has some 150,000 rockets and missiles, including precision-guided missiles that can hit anywhere in Israel. The group, which has thousands of battle-hardened fighters who participated in Syria’s 12-year conflict, also has different types of military drones.

Hezbollah fighters have been on full alert along Lebanon’s borders with Israel following last Saturday’s attack by the militant Palestinian group Hamas that left hundreds of Israeli civilians and soldiers dead.

O shit, so CSAT has finaly developed the Eastwind device.

[–] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have no idea what that is, but I’m skeered.

[–] Land_Strider@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Some Arma 3 campaign plot thing where there are 2 major blocks in the world by 2035, NATO vs CSAT, the latter, being formed by China, Russia, Iran, Turkey etc. internationally, mainly seen composed of Iranian/Arabic people speaking Persian and having a presence on an independent Mediterranean Island as peacekeeping mission alternative to NATO, but also secretly testing an earthquake device to destabilize the ordinary life on smaller countries to set a precedent for going there on an "aid and peacekeeping" mission.

The closer we get to 2035, the more I feel like Arma 3's timeline can actually be a reality by then.

For the record, and with respect, I blame Miller.

[–] ALavaPulsar@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I me ver payed attention to the campaign plot, but are you sure Turkey is CSAT? They’re definitely a NATO country irl

Are they really though?

[–] Land_Strider@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I'm not exactly sure ATM, but I remember seeing some map in game (as part of the introductory "news" video maybe) that showed Turkey as red along with other CSAT members.

However, I think it falls a bit wrong as well because Altis and Stratis are actually real island directly in the Aegean sea in between Turkey and Greece, so moving them well southwards to be somewhere nearer to Malta would miss out on having these islands at such a critical position if Turkey were in CSAT while the Greece and other Balkan countries are still in NATO.

If Iran had genuinely intended to inflict harm upon Israel, it would have acted within the initial 24 hours following the Hamas incursion. This was when Israel was most vulnerable and disoriented, uncertain of the situation unfolding before it. This window presented the ideal opportunity to deploy Hezbollah for a response, long before the Americans rushed to protect the so called Powerful Israeli army, if they were they would not need protection.

On the same take Israel could have killed off the whole Palestinian population several times over, if they really wanted to. But this doesn’t hinder you to spread the idea that Israel wants to kill all Palestinians, right?

[–] Echo71Niner@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Israel already killed thousands of Palestinians during 75 years of occupation. There is no status-quo and there is no forgetting the RIGHT OF RETURN.

[–] keardap@lemmy.selfhost.quest 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Fuck off Nazi.

Up to date, Hamas killed more Palestines than Israel. Go as far as throwing FATAH members from roof tops.

[–] Echo71Niner@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Fuck off Nazi.

Up to date, Hamas killed more Palestines than Israel. Go as far as throwing FATAH members from roof tops.

Typical Israeli Hasbara propaganda. You recoil in horror when faced with a principled opposition to Israel's Apartheid. And then, immediately afterwards, covers up you cowardice in lies about a different story.

If they killed them all off, then who would they play their sadistic games with?

[–] bartimeo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

People tends to forgget that countries are not people with emotions or capacity for decision making.

They are agruparions of people with motivations and ways of thinking highly variants. There are israely people who wants ro lever Palestine? Sure, but there is people who want peace too. At least one of the Hamas atack was pro Palestine. Same with Iran.

The necesities of juggling so many conlicting ideologies make decions way less fast, optimal or consistent that people are comfortable to asume.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Hossein Amirabdollahian told reporters in Beirut that Lebanon’s Hezbollah group has taken all the scenarios of a war into consideration and Israel should stop its attacks on Gaza as soon as possible.

Hezbollah fighters have been on full alert along Lebanon’s borders with Israel following last Saturday’s attack by the militant Palestinian group Hamas that left hundreds of Israeli civilians and soldiers dead.

Amirabdollahian discussed during a meeting in Beirut Saturday the situation in Gaza and the region with the top Hamas official in exile, Saleh Arouri, and the leader of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad group, Ziad Nakhaleh, according to Hezbollah’s Al-Manar TV.

With an eye toward Hezbollah, U.S. President Joe Biden has warned other players in the Middle East not to join the conflict and has sent American warships to the region and vowed full support for Israel.

The Iranian foreign minister said he will be contacting U.N. officials in the Middle East because “there is still an opportunity to work on an initiative (to end the war) but it might be too late tomorrow.”

The possibility of a new front in Lebanon brings back bitter memories of a vicious monthlong war between Hezbollah and Israel in 2006 that ended in a stalemate and a tense detente between the two sides.

So there is now a trend among genocide sympathizer were they exploit a flaw in the site, where they delete their own comment which also deletes from the thread, all your responses to their comment. When they dislike your response to their comment, they delete your response by deleting their comment.

My comments in response to the person that called me a "fucking nazi" for pointing out Israeli war crimes.

Every mother-fucking-time someone points out the fucking despicable evil Israeli state of apartheid for its war crimes, someone brings up fucking Hamas, even when i never fucking did.

Fuck Hamas. Fuck the Israeli state of apartheid. Fuck Fatah. Fuck Islamic Jihad. Fuck the United states of Arrogance the number one sponsor of Israeli terror. Fuck Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Iran, Turkey, Malaysia, they are all fucking garbage.

Israel’s Apartheid is a fucking fact!

[–] Ab_intra@lemmy.world -5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Please don't involve yourself in the fucking war..

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They're already involved. Hamas doesn't get their weaponry from elfs.

[–] UraniumBlazer@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

their weaponry from elfs.

Hehe nice phrasing

[–] BMatthew@lemmy.world -3 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Agreed, we should all stand aside and be quiet while they ethnically cleans Gaza. They are animals after all that deserve to be wiped off the face of the earth right.

[–] Excrubulent@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I hope this was meant to be sarcastic. If so it doesn't have enough overly self-aware mockery of the position you're aping to make it clear.

[–] BMatthew@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sadly, I thought the /s was obvious. Very sadly I am now seeing with over a million Gaza children now experiencing war crimes, I didn’t expect to see this being anything other than an obvious reprehensible situation. Anyone green lighting apartheid and etheric cleaning is a nazi. Hard stop. Fact.

[–] Excrubulent@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 year ago

I thought the phrase "we should all stand aside and be quiet while they ethnically cleanse gaza" should've been enough as well, but the responses proved otherwise :/ It's a shame there are people that will unironically say this.

[–] BMatthew@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I am happy to take the upvote for my sarcasm/gaslight. As the husband of a Palestinian, I and am glad some people with a soul struggle to see ethnic cleansing as ok, Seeing Biden/ Cory Booker/ AOC/ Peloci green lighting genicide has jaded me.

[–] bartimeo@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

That's a fucking horrible thing to say...

[–] Ab_intra@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

So you think that's what I wrote? That's an anazing interpretation of my words. I hope Iran don't get involved. That's what I meant 🥱

[–] dumdum666@kbin.social -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You are a disgusting person, but you know that when you look in the mirror, don’t you?
