@@gavinmc5285 USA granted Israel weapons that the State Department claimed were strictly for the purpose of 'Self-defence' against Hamas and parties that threatened the sovereignty of Israel. Those same American weapons were used by Israel against Iran when Israel offensively bombed the Iranian Consulate located in Damascus, Syria earlier this week. Diplomats and their family members are protected under the Geneva Convention and are not considered legitimate targets like military installations. Now the Biden, Blinken and the JCS want to decry Iran as an escalator, despite Iran having lost the lives of Iranian diplomats when Israel struck first.
