In Deciding Whether to Retaliate, Iran Faces a Dilemma | If Iran strikes back at Israel, it risks further escalation at a time when its economy is struggling and its military is vulnerable. If it doesn’t, it risks looking weak.

Now would be a good time for the young folks in Iran to revolt.

Didn’t Israel hit their drone sites? When all you have are drones and Israel just took them out... What can you do?

[EastTexasTraveler]

The New York Slimes can’t stand it that their buddies in Iran are losing.

[WeaslesRippedMyFlesh]

Love the NYT’s hand wringing over their pet terrorist state.

On the one hand, our beloved mudering raping torchering hostage taking Iran could do A or they could do B.

We’re all at our news desks breathless.

I pray God releashes his wrath. take out their oil their defenses and everything else. The people will rise up. Now it the time and forget about what the US IC(who runs trhings) says.

For Iran, why not strike back.
Iran already knows the IDF won’t hit oil or nuke sites due to Biden/Harris
demanding those targets are off limits.

[Organic Panic]

It is awfully kind of the NYT to express their deep concerns for the safety and comfort of the Iranian regime.

[metmom]

Poor babies.

Reaping they sowed.

If it does not (retaliate), it risks looking weak

Using the muzzie mindset it's simple, attack a weaker unprepared target...Like the US just before elections.

[monkeyshine]

Why would Iran retaliate for retaliation? The NYT already ran a story that Iranian diplomats signaled that it would not re-retaliate as long as Israel limited their retaliation to non essential targets. I guess they forgot what they reported.

[TexasGator]

“Iran already knows the IDF won’t hit oil or nuke sites due to Biden/Harris
demanding those targets are off limits.”

That only applies till the election.

[mac_truck]

Without evidence Israel did anything, why would Iran respond?

[ThanhPhero]

Murdering

Torturing

[butlerweave]

Maybe Israel can keep the Iranian Mullahs trapped under ground so the people can take back their country ,LOL

[Lurker]

“ Iranian officials have made it clear that they do not want a direct war with Israel.”

Well then maybe they should quit financing terrorist savages and shooting missiles at Israel. Playing whack a mole with “proxies” is stupid and wasteful. Just target the Mullahs directly along with their families.

Don’t start none, won’t be none.
Get that, Iran?
