Israel’s military said on Thursday it had detected “suspects” in several areas in southern Lebanon, calling this a violation of a ceasefire with Hezbollah.

Israeli military strikes killed at least 17 Palestinians across the Gaza Strip on Thursday, medics say.

Months of efforts to negotiate a ceasefire in Gaza have yielded scant progress, and negotiations are now on hold.

    Iran is one of the forces behind the destabilization of Syria, Lebanon and Yemen.

    Might as well claim French Canada was one of the forces behind the destabilization of the American Colonies.

    Revolutionary Iran only came into existence because of the destabilizing forces plaguing the region. They’re as caught up in the maelstrom of the Great Game as Egypt, Turkey, and Ukraine.

    The Iranian regime is nothing but evil.

    If all you can see in Iran is evil, you’re not looking into a window. You’re looking into a mirror.

      Iran (government, not people) is an islamistic state. Meaning, force a religion on the population. Arm Islamist groups in other nations to turn them to the same kind of shithole.

      Gay? Execution, woman with no head covering? Rape to death. Non Muslim that got assaulted by a Muslim? I hope you won’t defend yourself, else you too will be execute.

      All this regime offers is death and oppression, while putting their resources into duplication into other states like cancer. They get categorized as evil.

        Is that what’s really got you ruffled? They dared to believe a different version of the Abrahamic mythology than your country’s leadership?

        You’re describing Saudi Arabia, our staunch ally and friend. Careful how loudly you complain about these policies or you’ll get filmed walking backwards out of a Saudi embassy, never to be seen or heard from again.

        Pick up a history book. The '79 revolution liberated Iranians from death and oppression. The biggest threat to Iranians today comes from Israeli bombers supplied by American military industrialists.

        Remove that Sword of Damocles from their heads and the country doesn’t need to dedicate huge chunks of GDP to national defense. They’ll be on par with Germany or Japan within a decade.

          Don’t mix being Muslim with being Islamist. The first is following Islam, the second is forcing Islam on everyone else.

          I said nothing good on SA, and I will never travel to that shit hole.

          Iran executed over 80 Iranians this year. IsraelI strikes in Iran killed 2 people last I checked.

            You’re only a Good Muslim when you sell us your natural resources at a discount.

            I said nothing good on SA

            You’ve decided to condemn one county for the crimes others. You’ve turned a blind eye to genocide in SA itself and in neighboring Yemen - genocide committed with Western arms and armor - so you can denounce a neighbor as unequivocally evil. You’ve denied Persian people their sovereignty so you can steal their labor and their land.

            All to enrich a handful of billionaires propping up the current Fascist in the White House.

            Disgusting.

              You are only a good person if you don’t force your favourite fanfic on others.

              Because my message has a context. Which was HA, a terrorist organization sponsored by Iran. They do their dirty work in the region, from shelling Israeli civilians to starve Syrian civilians to death.

              If I tried to list all acts of evil in the world my finger will fall off.
