why keep trying to justify this? Israel bombed Iran and it's absurd to think Iran wouldn't fire back. Why didn't Israel strike back when Iran fired the missiles in April? And - October 2024 was blamed on Hamas and Israel is bombing Gaza into non-existence. And trying to call all this "self-defense." I don't see it that way.

All sides are wrong in a conflict such as this. Iran was in negotiation talks so why did Bibi decide to start this war?
