Supporting either side in this idiotic war over religion is stupid. That said, I don't know what anyone expected Iran to do after Israel bombed their embassy.
You can just support international law, you don't have to choose between Israel and Iran. Embassies are considered soverign soil of the nation they represent and so bombing an embassy is a direct attack on another country. When Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022 they got sanctioned by the international community. There are plenty of other examples in recent history of consequences for aggression. The only question is why is Israel exempt from consequences that apply to other countries? That's what this false dichotomy (Israel vs. Iran/Hamas/Hezbollah etc.) is trying to mask- instead of asking why Israel is exempt from legal consequences it changes the dialogue to "if you don't support Israel then you support terrorism" and thereby nullifies international law since the law is applied selectively.
What I see is that in general, the big powers, as in the US and China don't hold their close allies accountable. It's not like China held Russia to account for Bucha or Ukraine in general.
Personally I think Iran kinda spoiled ever getting to complain about foul play involving foreign embassies, what I'm more interested in here is how far the US is gonna go in retaliation, because obviously they're gonna do something here, I'm just wondering how much it'll be and in what form.
Personally if I was making the call, I'd sweep the IDF out of Gaza altogether and relegate them to "defensive line duty", or more accurately "DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE TOUCH ANYTHING YOU GENOCIDAL MORONS.", and then kill two birds with an army of drones, Iran just invited destruction onto all of their war material production shit and Russia is probably shitting bricks that their entire reserve strategy just got exposed to causus belli.
Russia is gleefully rubbing their hands because they know the US public can literally only keep one thought in their heads at once and this grantees political apathy towards the Russian invasion.
Maybe not though. Russia needs all the drones they can get from Iran. Israel making Iran focus on them negates part of the supply support Russia requires for Ukraine.
The only thing required for Russia to win is the US to continue not sending aid.
Iran and China are no longer necessary. Russia's wartime economy is in full swing.
Iran and China are 100% necessary. That's where Russia is getting components from. Russia mostly doing final assembly. Reports nearly weekly bring up Chinese and even US made components being found in Russian equipment.
