Iran says it does not want regional escalation but must 'punish' Israel

DUBAI, Aug 5 (Reuters) - Iran is not looking to escalate regional tensions but believes it needs to punish Israel to prevent further instability, the foreign ministry spokesperson said on Monday, following the killing of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran last week. "Iran seeks to establish stability in the region, but this will only come with punishing the aggressor and creating deterrence against the adventurism of the Zionist regime (Israel)," Nasser Kanaani said, adding that action from Tehran was inevitable.

Kanaani called on the United States to stop supporting Israel, saying the international community had failed in its duty to safeguard stability in the region and should support the "punishment of the aggressor." Iran's foreign ministry called in ambassadors and heads of missions residing in Tehran for a meeting with acting Foreign Minister Ali Bagheri Kani on Monday to reiterate Iran's will to respond to Israel.

It means they will shoot Iranian missiles from Yemen. Israel will then blow up a good part of Yemen.

So, Iran’s punishment is to have a bunch of Yemenis killed. And it appears the Yemenis think this is a good idea.

It means their proxies can attack Israel 24/7 but any response by Israel is an act of war.

Send your scud missel, watch the Israeli’s shoot it down and viola... You’ve punished Israel... But remember this... They planted a bomb inside one of your most secure compounds... So who knows who’ll be next on their hitlist? The Iranian’s certainly don’t.

Apparently Iran has adopted the Jobama regime’s thinking of expecting Israel to just take the death and destruction that it receives from the Muslim countries that attack it.

Bring it, Iran. A few less mullahs always, always benefit civilization.

Iran is not looking to escalate regional tensions but but plans to escalate regional tensions.

Because Mohammedans, like leftists, are liars.

It’s like arguing with your wife. We don’t want escalation but she gets the last word.

Exactly. The Russians encouraged the Iranians to do things, to divert funding and attention from Ukraine. The Iranians used their proxy people: Houthis, Hezbollah, Hamas to attack everyone.

The reality is, and they have yet to actually see it, is that the Palestinians pathway since 1948 of constant attempts to destroy the Jews and Israel have been a boomerang failure. They would have been better off with a peaceful co-existence and open trade, than what they have now. Now, they are just pawns of Iranians who advocate that the next generation of Palestinians are just ‘throw away’ people.

They should just relocate the Palestinians to Iran, so they can be embraced in the warmth of Islamic Republic and live peaceful co-existence. The Iranians can support them to be ‘more’ in Iran.
