In an interview with NBC News, Hossein Amirabdollahian refused to acknowledge that Israel was behind the recent attack on his country.
Iran’s foreign minister on Friday refused to acknowledge that Israel was behind the recent attack on his country and described the weapons that were used as more like children’s toys.
“What happened last night was not a strike,” the foreign minister, Hossein Amirabdollahian, said in an interview with NBC News’ Tom Llamas. “They were more like toys that our children play with – not drones.”
Amirabdollahian, who spoke to NBC News in New York where he was attending a U.N. Security Council session, said Iran was not planning to respond unless Israel launches a significant attack.
“As long as there is no new adventurism by Israel against our interests, then we are not going to have any new reactions,” he said.
Iran has constantly proved itself the more rational and mature actor in the Middle East compared to Israel.
Yet we allow Israel to have nukes while we sanction the fuck out of Iran.
Hmm 🤔

By that token Israel should have lost its nukes after funding Hamas. Far too irrational for nuke privileges
Imagine this level of brain damage exists, that someone thinks Israel funds Hamas and not Iran.
They launched a massive attack on Israel, Israel responded with a very small and limited strike. Iran have been funding terrorist proxy groups for decades. They also treat their own people and women horrifically.
Hate Israel all you want, but cheerleading for an Islamic theocracy is stupid.
It’s strange how you’re ignoring the fact that Israel attacked first. Iran retaliated, and did so after warning Israel of exactly what it was going to do so it could prepare. It did this even though Israel attacked Iran without a similar warning and assassinated an Iranian general.
Iran’s response has been tepid and measured because it doesn’t want to start WW3. Israel, on the other hand, very clearly does.
assassinated Iranian officials.
Bit disingenious to call (senior) Members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps ‘officials’ like they’re low level bureaucrats, not military personnel.
you’re ignoring the fact that Israel attacked first.
Why did they attack?
According to Al Jazeera, the IRGC initially claimed the october 7 attack on Israel was revenge for the killing of IRGC commander Qassem Soleimani, although they later retracted that statement.
In any case, the cold war between Israel and Iran didn’t start with Israel bombing an Iranian embassy. Honeslty don’t know who started it, but it wasn’t the first attack, not the first attack on an embassy either.
Iran retaliated, and did so after warning Israel of exactly what it was going to do
Iran claims they warned Israel. The US says they didn’t.
I mean, your user name suggests you’re queer and a communist. How utterly bizarre that you’re defending an Islamic theocracy.
It is possible to be critical of Israel and not defend Iran. Just so you know, I know Russian propaganda probably told you otherwise.
Why did they attack?
To draw the US deeper into the conflict.

Fair. Netanyahu has been provoking Iran for decades, this is just the latest escalation. But the fact remains that Iran was retaliating to an attack that came from Israel, Iran wasn’t just attacking out of nowhere.
Iran claims they warned Israel. The US says they didn’t.
And yet the US and Israel were able to perfectly defend against the attack and prevent any serious damage. 🤔
I guess we’re just supposed to believe that those defensive capabilities are god-like and can respond to any attack with zero warning!

Y’all keep telling me to choose the lesser evil in the elections but you won’t do the same thing in a geopolitical context. 🤨
Look at you tripping over yourself to defend the indefensible. Sad shit, man. What happened to you?
He was always like that nothing changed.

Yeah need some proxies to keep the Nazis at bay. Before they end up try to expand their Lebensraum into your country.
Bonus points for supporting people fighting against Nazis.
Thank god the houthis do not want tp commit a genocide. I mean, its not like death to jews is in their Motto , right?
Yes indeed that is not their motto. If you read their motto you would know that.
You’re rights its just God is the Greatest Death to America Death to Israel A Curse Upon the Jews Victory to Islam.
Thats sounds waaaaaaay less antisemitic
They found the word “death” twice.
Why not three times?
Why mention the jews at all, if the enemy is only the state of israel?
So you are saying Iran funds Hamas? That wasn’t my impression.
Hezbollah and Houthis are much better than Israel.
Comments like these are why I really don’t care how many Palestinians die in Israel’s war, Israel is fighting for its right to exist while people like this are calling for the extermination of Israelis.
Probably the best outcome. Both countries got to do their little show of force. Nobody loses face.
Well not the best outcome, obviously. That would be “everybody agrees to not be cunts and stop killing civilians”, but that’s not going to happen.
Great news, Iran isn’t killing any civilians. Only israel is doing that.
