Let's review the situation so far: 1. Israel attacks Iranian embassy complex in Damascus, killing high ranking generals. 2. Iran responds with a calibrated attack that wounds Israel's pride but not do serious damage. 3. US asks Israel to let it go 4. Israel vows to retaliate Let's hear it from the "but October 7" crowd...

@alexandrosM As I said elsewhere, I suspect Israel wanted to provoke a direct attack from Iran, so that Israel would have justification to try to destroy Iran’s nuclear facilities.
@StrohJulian Who will destroy Israel's?
@alexandrosM @StrohJulian Last I checked, Israel didn't have the destruction of another nation written in to it's constitution.
@alexandrosM @StrohJulian what's quite concerning is I genuinely think of all the Nuclear capable states Israel is the most likely to deploy theirs out or raw emotion. (Based on observing Israel's response to violence over the years.)
@alexandrosM @StrohJulian Probably not Iran, from the looks of it.
