Mohanad Hage Ali, an expert on Hezbollah at the Carnegie Middle East Centre think-tank in Beirut, said Hamas’s Oct 7 assault on Israel had left its axis partners facing tough choices in confronting an adversary with far superior firepower.
“When you wake up the bear with such an attack, it’s quite difficult for your allies to stand in the same position as you.”
Iran is like: „It was just a prank lol, why did you do what we ordered you to do lmao. Nah, solve your own shit lol, we gotta make a bomb and kill our women overhere.“
No surprise. No one will. Hamas is on their own. The most they could ever hope for was lip service and maybe another terror group amping up aggression.
“Theocratic fascists bent on full control or absolute annihilation – lie to other theocratic fascists bent on control or annihilation: media abandons journalism”
Just like the little rats that they are.
back in 2006’sh I had great hope that in Iran’s “election”, its very young population that is western leaning in terms of music, style, freedom, would begin to pivot away from its theocratic maniac goverment.
Iran’s population is one of the youngest in the world.. so there is still hope as its crazy elder leadership begin to age out. They should hope that happens before Iran instigates a situation that embroils and motivates its enemys.
Like Iran’s decades long support for Hamas and Hezbollah terrorists and what happened on October 7th
Didn’t go as planned. We’re out. Best of luck with your command center thingy.
That’s because we the US will respond, leveling your oil fields and you will be out of the oil business in two days you know it
Of course they wont. Iran is like that small spindly kid at school who instigates and talks though but runs away at the first sign of trouble.
“No honor among thieves”.
so it went from being a proxy war to a …proxy war? what?
Wow Hamas this is embarrassing. No one else wants to join your intifada.
*YET* by proxy though … but of course
Whoops, did we pit two of our rivals against each other and throw a wrench in Arabian/Israeli normalcy?
So, if Hamas didn’t tell anyone, why where they expecting that anyone would be ready or poised to help them if they didn’t have contingency plans?
edit: I don’t think this entire event has completely unfolded.
WE SAID “PLAN”.
“PLAN” to fire all you rockets and send motorcycle guys through the fence to kill people and take hostages. We didn’t say to actually DO it. WTF?!?!
The mullahs may be fanatics but they aren’t fools.
Saw this a mile away. As the kids today say “they don’t want the smoke”
Sorry guis, gotta run.
Iran is sending their thoughts and prayers to
It’s really funny that it seems like a big part of Hamas’ strategy was for Iran and Hezbollah to join the war against Israel and both of them went “lol nah.”
There is a difference between arming terrorists and beating the shit out of defenseless women in their own country, and fighting two of the most fighting armed and prepared soldiers.
Allah says it’s a bad idea, too.
Glad to see the supreme leader’s not a total idiot for once.
“Yo, that’s crazy. Anyways, so I started putting this mom in jail because her son was in the protest against women wearing a hijab.”
>Instead, Iran’s clerical rulers plan to continue using their axis network of armed allies, including Hezbollah, to launch rocket and drone attacks on Israeli and American targets across the Middle East, the officials said.
“We’ll stick to our proxies to do it.”
Iran: we still want to stay in power. #sorrynotsorry
They would get destroyed. Israel has dominated all Arab nations in the region, militarily, for decades. With the help of the US, they are relatively unstoppable.
Hmmm. I’m about to get all conspiracy and shit… but maybe this is why the US allowed them to get their hands on 10 billions from Iraq? Who knows.
😉
old guy, … like his power
كل كلب له يومه
Iranian regime you’re next
They’ll just continue shooting tens of rockets and RPGs at civilian population centers in Israel and Israel will barely respond. Until theyll do their own October 7th attack on the North. I don’t see how Israel can continue to allow their civilians to be under constant threat, we’ve seen what appeasement of terrorists leads to.
Why would they? They’re having a disproportionate effect on Israel and its place in the world with very little risk and pocket change in supplied weapons and funding. If anything they’re now encouraged to beef up deniable funding of terror cells and groups, as it pays considerable political dividends with little risk.
Of course, they won’t as the US would level Iran within 48 hours, and every ally of Israel would be forced to join too. The fact that this all has happened due to Saudi Arabia wanting to normalise relations and trade with Israel, too. Which Iran, Hamas, and all terrorist organisations in the Middle East shudder at that thought.
Iran: We were gonna wage an all front war against Israel but the US brought 2 aircraft carriers and oh my pizza is here gotta go!
Iran doesn’t have the budget or equipment for a protracted conventional conflict. Their entire security strategy relies on an extended network of proxy forces embedded in various countries that can act within their own interests.
They use this strategy with asymmetric strike capabilities via widescale missile and drone production to skirt the edges of direct conflict with regional adversaries.
It also helps that it’s an extremely mountainous country that would be super hard to invade, and its immediate neighbors aren’t overtly hostile to it at this time.
So while Iran says “it will not enter the war,” it indirectly already has. With two US carrier strike groups parked outside their door, they want to emphasize their “lack of involvement” as much as possible. It’s all a part of their security policy dance.
When your buddy talks you into starting a fight but when you start getting your shit kicked in he’s no where to be found
just loling at the ‘mutual’ in a certain mutual defense pact
Everybody that comments on Reddit political issues always seems to know what to do about every geopolitical issue.
they aren’t ready to get their asses clapped yet
And this is the how Iran and other Arab countries want things to be…They won’t risk anything for Palestine, they certainly don’t want any Palestinian refugees in their country but are very happy for Hamas to stoke world anger against Israel.

All jokes; I don’t believe Iran at all.
Iran: “What part of proxy don’t they understand?”
Hamas (with quivering lower lip): “But….but….but….”

You know, considering they’re surrounded by American carrier and submarine groups, I actually believe them.
it’s ok for palestinians to die for persians, but persians will never die for palestinians.
Nice. Now can we go back to talking about Ukraine kicking Russia’s ass, please?
Probably too busy
They got next tho?
Isn’t that the point of having proxies? LMAO
Because they’ll continue to fund Hezbollah to do it for them
