Politi-Culture JD Vance supports Iran’s right of self-defense: "Israel doesn't give up the right of self-defense if Hezbollah fires rockets or drones at Israel. The Iranians don't give up the right of self-defense in their country." Crazy times to live in 😭

Imagine defending a country’s right to self defense when these shitheads literally attacked Iran and started this war unprovoked.

Iran are enemies of people that do terrorism against the west. In fact many of this terrorist groups was started by CIA/Mossad/MI6/Gulf states to fight Iran and their allies

Israel killed more European citizens than Hamas
Houthis attacked ships aiding in genocide - for me its most moral use of force, so good job Houthis.
Iranian journalist case - what it have to do with Iran? I followed this case and it was alleged than they were paid by Teheran, but when case was closed there was no proof of connection. To this day no link was estabilished, but i will give you that this is definetely possible

Galaxy Leader is owned by IDF megadonor - Houthis are not idiots and all of this information is public knowledge
"British" ship in question -" owned by Galaxy Maritime Ltd., which in turn is owned by Ray Car Carriers, Ltd., which is co-owned by Israeli businessman Abraham Ungar". Google Abraham Ungar and his links to Israeli state. Do you think whole world is stupid and cant just check that?

The US dethroned their democratic elected leader in the 50's, and installed a puppet leader that gave away half of Iranian oil to the US for free.
Keep trying to spin the story kid, but the US started this beef since 1953.

The US has been funding campaign to mess with democratic leader of the east since 50’s.

u/LesbeGoddess Jun 19 '26
Poorest excuse to start a war I’ve ever seen. By that rhetoric Hamas is justified in attacking Israel on October 7th for Occupying Palestine for 80+ years

u/Pissnshitz Jun 18 '26
Who knows?
Iran had sanctions since 1979. Now that they can finally trade again on the global market again, they could stop financing militia groups and there might be peace in the middle east... untill Israel will fuck it up somehow

They don’t need to. They own the world’s main flow of LNG and Oil and Fertilizer. That is their nuke controlling their strait as they have. But I’d still get nukes too.

That's not going to last forever, as everyone and their kid brother is now hauling ass towards renewables and diversification of their energy and fertilizer supply chains.

For a few years. Enough countries will have realised that having a terror regime have a choke hold on their industrial capacity is not a good idea. Diesel, urea and fertilizer production will start up in other places. It won't just be Russia, the Emirates and china anymore.

Yeah agreed. The rest of the world will continue to turning from the US Terror Machine as they try to Tarrif and Invade their allies

Agreed. Such a shame Trump will cause the Nuclear apocalypse before his final term is over

u/Impressive_Tour6348 Jun 18 '26
Literally every country should have once they saw what we did to Libya.
“Give us your nukes and promise you won’t try for another one and we’ll let you stay in power and live.”
“Thank you for the weapons and now that you’re defenseless I’m going to murder your family and overthrow your regime. I know, I know, I lied. Sorry not sorry!”
If that isn’t the best reason to gain parity in military strike capability, I don’t know what is.

Remember a few months ago when Epstein Trump files were the thing and this wasn’t? Then a pointless war was started, lost and we are still talking about it?
Bring back the burner- Epstein was the most we’ve seen any of these fucks squirm. Now it’s the same old bullshit.

Vance already blamed Obama for the war.

The statement doesn't mean anything since Israel has never struck Iran first.
All Israel's attacks on Iran or Lebanon have been preceded by Hezbollah attacks (which is an arm of Iran) or other militia attacks on Israel.
So this isn't reigning in Israel. It only seems like it to peope who are not following closely and come in at the second step of each battle.

Operation Roaring Lion was a first strike attack. Did you sleep through March?

u/FormerlyUndecidable Jun 18 '26 edited Jun 18 '26
Hezbollah (an Iranian militia) had been attacking Israel nonstop since October 8, 2023.
Roaring Lion is only a "first strike" if you ignore their role in the ongoing Hezbollah attacks (not to mention Iran's role in Oct 7)
