Soooo if Israel bombs Iranian targets and an embassy that's okay, but if Iran retaliates we react??
As is tradition
Well, I bet that if any country attacked one embassy from who is condemning, the strike back would be very worse.
Well, Iran has the right to defend itself
Condemning Iran because of attacking back but when Israel does it - it suppose to be okay?
Double standards.
Most (if not all) are hypocrites and cannot talk about “human rights” anymore. None of these presidents care about human rights. They only care when it is in their own benefit.
Condemning Iran because of attacking back but when Israel does it - it suppose to be okay? Double standards.
No, you are wrong. The EU condemned the atack on the embassy in Damascus, see link
"BRUSSELS, April 3 (Reuters) - The European Union on Wednesday condemned an airstrike on the Iranian embassy in Damascus on April 1 that killed seven people and called on countries in the region to show restraint."
Please respond in an informed way, instead of escalating things without any basis. Let's stay on topic.
I honestly did not know that, thank you. Can’t keep up with all the news while life goes on.
But did they do anything beyond empty words? Or did they keep supplying arms to Israel knowing that Israel will keep doing what it's been doing?
The UN is toothless, and the few times it has intervened in geopolitical conflicts, it generally did not end well for anyone.
So this is more the EU going, "Can everybody stop trying to kill each other for five minutes?" rather than them taking sides
Yeah International Laws can fuck off right? Its Eu best democratic and humanist area.
And once more "the West"a leaders prove to the world that they are nothing but violent hypocrites. Barbaric acts of terrorism are perfectly fine, when carried out on "brown" people, but god forbid they fight back against blatant violations of international war.
The current generation of leaders is not only deeply reprehensible, they are destroying all the progress made towards a more peaceful and rule based international order over the past 80 years.
F israel.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
European leaders condemned the retaliatory attack by Iran on Israel late Saturday amid soaring fears of a major escalation in the Mideast conflict.
Tehran launched a barrage of ballistic missiles and drones against targets in Israel, Iranian state media reported, in a move that could spark an escalation in the fighting in the Middle East.
U.S. President Joe Biden said American forces helped Israel down “nearly all” the drones and missiles and pledged to convene allies to develop a unified response.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen denounced “Iran’s blatant and unjustifiable attack on Israel,” in a statement on X.
U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said the Iranian strikes “risk inflaming tensions and destabilizing the region.” Tehran has “demonstrated that it is intent on sowing chaos in its own backyard,” he said.
The region had been on high alert for a possible retaliatory attack from Iran after an Israeli strike killed a senior Iranian officer at an embassy in Syria.
