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.
International law doesnt allow you to declare “not an embassy” because i want to kill a motherfucker in it. Countries in conflict will often have embassies filled with people the other country wants dead.
The whole point of embassies is that they are “off limits” so that matters of state can be solved by disgruntled parties via diplomacy, not warfare. Bombing an embassy is a direct call for war, exactly because it by definition has important leaders of that countires nation inside of it.
Bombing it is no different than bombing any goverment building staffed by that nation’s leadership in Tehran. It is in fact a huge provocation for war, and so far its only Irans restraint that has stopped this from escalating.
The fact that Israel has put the world into a position where Iran, a nation run by theocratic despots who brutalize women and sponsor terror, is the calmer actor, is absolutely surreal.
300 drones/missiles restraint? It was the largest single attack of its kind the world has seen.
International law is such a stupid concept to me since it’s literally pointless unless there is someone who can enforce it.
So don’t come at us with that bullshit, otherwise we wouldn’t be having this discussion at all and it would’ve already been handled by the “international police”
Israel and Iran and Russia will continue to conduct whatever they want, and there’s literally nothing you and I can do about it besides waste time arguing about it online.
That’s a lot of words to say “I don’t understand international politics.”
Try my sentence next time. It will save everyone a lot of time.
Try which sentence?
