Israel’s foreign minister threatened Wednesday that his country’s forces would strike Iran directly if the Islamic Republic launched an attack from its territory against Israel, as tensions between the rival powers flare following the killings of Iranian generals in a blast at the Iranian consulate in Syria.

“If Iran attacks from its territory, Israel will respond and attack in Iran,” Israel Katz said in a post on X in both Farsi and Hebrew.

The remarks came after Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei reiterated early Wednesday a promise to retaliate against Israel over the attack on its consulate in Damascus earlier this month.

    Truth down voted by offended tankies, who are so anti West and anti Israel that they will side with a literal autocratic theocratic terrorist state that kills its own people and brutally subjugates its women and dissenters and sponsors terrorism all across that region. It’s apparent that these stupid fucks have never lived in an Islamic country.

      “literal autocratic theocratic terrorist state that kills its own people and brutally subjugates dissenters” An apt description of Israel.

      Israel has fired on Iran and Syria. Criticizing Israel for fanning the flames of war is justified. Iran threatening to respond with violence is justified. Talking like an internet tough-guy is stupid.

      Once someone uses the word “tankies” it’s obvious they are a nazi who can’t stop sucking destiny’s balls.
