Oil is crucial for agriculture and the production of vital chemicals and materials. We really shouldn’t be burning it.

This is Iran trying to stir shit up to quell their internal rebellion.
I voted third party too once. I couldn’t in good conscience vote for either major party. I was living in Florida, and voted for Nader in 2000.
I’ve not been so naive since.
Did I not vote for the killing of children in Iraq and Afghanistan? Did I not vote for the curtailing of medical research? Did I not vote for the hundreds of millions that will die due to climate change?
Learn from my mistake. Because the lessons you learn from yours may not be applicable given what will be lost by the time you realize what you’ve done.
Open sufficient shelter and then ban camping.
Sorry, but I’ve worked in SF and Portland and getting yelled at while avoiding shit and syringes is not great.
The signal code is there for transparency and individual use, not for redistribution. Again, this is signal themselves discouraging users from third party apps for things that have and will happen.
It may well have been blackmail. We probably offered more precise intelligence if they’d offer some concessions on their invasion. Although I really wouldn’t call it blackmail.
Nah. We got people in helicopters shooting them by the hundreds and they are still out of control.
China and Russia are trying to gain favor just in case the US stops supporting Israel.
When did I say it has no relation?
It's related, but it's an excuse for what Iran really wants. Similarly Iran does not really care about the Palestinians beyond their usefulness as a grudging pawn.
A proportional response from Iran would have been more rockets from Hezbollah, Hamas, or the Houthis. Or maybe a very limited drone attack on a specific target.
A response like this on the part of Iran is disproportionate, so there must be another motive. Iran isn't so stupid as to think Israel won't bomb the shit out of them, thus Iran must want to be bombed.
The only reason I can think of for Iran to want to be bombed is to quell their internal troubles. It feels like every other week another woman without a hijab is killed, or disappeared, or beat to shit, and every other month another protester is executed by the state. There is unrest in Iran, people are getting tired of the theocratic bullshit. So what better time to need an external threat?
Iran's long-running narrative against israel, painting them as their great satan, could use a refresh, and what better way than to have israeli bombs fall on iran?
