“Would the U.S. respond?” ABC News Chief White House Correspondent Mary Bruce asked repeatedly as the president walked away after the end of an unrelated event. He paused, thought for a moment and then returned to the lectern.
“We are devoted to the defense of Israel. We will support Israel. We will help defend Israel and Iran will not succeed,” he said.
According to one U.S. defense official, the assets being moved to the region include both “ships and aircraft.”
Yes, It was a direct attack on IRGC officers on Iranian soil by international law, with no civilian casualties. I won’t back most of Netanyahu’s efforts, but this was strategic military warfare. Their intent was to take out officials providing the Houthis and Hamas with weapons, resources, and intelligence to continue attacks on Israel.
You compare apples to oranges. There is a large difference in International law between supplying a sovereign nation with intel and weapons, like Ukraine, and a terrorist organization such as the Houthis. One is protected, the other is not.
Embassy staff in the diplomatic service ARE civilian casualties.
I’m sure Israel thinks breaking international laws are worth it but there’s consequences.
I only read of the seven IRGC military casualties. If there were more, I didn’t know about them.
I just read more, and you’re right. I’ll delete my comments. Thank you for prompting me to look for more information.
That’s all the media focused on but it wasn’t an empty embassy on a workday. It’s like how the world media focused on the WCK workers killed in Gaza but ignored the Palestinian drivers who also were killed.
