From a geopolitical lens I guess, but any other lens not really. Maybe I’m wrong I’m my perception but I don’t really like the Saudi royal family. 8th century social norms while treating everyone else as inferior. They treat migrants like slaves while a few thousand royals reap the benefits and live lavishly. The whole not allowing a Bible or women to walk without men also irks me. Absolutely inferior culture, stuck in the past. You’d think with wealth they’d be better. Iran for the longest actually much more resembled a country we could find similarities with. If you separate their Jew hating and sponsoring of terrorism that came with the rise of their leaders (which of course came to power as a counter action to us supporting our puppet there), most Iranians are not that bad, certainly more socially evolved compared to the Saudis.

Sure, and Israel strikes at Iran unofficially as well. I don't doubt the military personnel Israel killed were heavily involved in facilitating attacks against Israel but the problem is they were killed at an embassy which is technically Iranian soil.

If targeting them was necessary it should have been done outside of the embassy, attacking the embassy gave Iran a valid reason to attack directly. If they are attacked now they will again have valid reason to respond. It looks bad for Israel to be attacked and I'm sure the natural inclination is to hit back harder to set an example but Israel put itself in this position by striking the embassy.

Yeah, it’s a valid claim. although personally I don’t think that you can compare between attacking an embassy to the Iranian counter.
Iran wanted to establish an equation for a retaliation to the Israeli assassinations. The embassy it’s just the excuse.. I believe that even if it was outside the embassy they would have acted the same.
IMO the Iranians are planning all of this for years (30 years at least). Including 10/7. They are smart.. I do not underestimate them.

Israelis are protesting against the judicial reform and now about the hostages.
We think Netanyahu doesnt fit to lead us in these times but it doesnt mean we wont go to war.
The Iranian people are been executed by their regime if they show any kind of objection to it

It wasnt an embassy mr propaganda

It wasnt an embassy

The IRGC rise have nothing to do with Israel

I think attacking Israel directly is more serious than Israel attacking the embassy but it has to be taken into account that Iran is the only side that really lost anything. I don't think Iran seriously intended to do damage otherwise they wouldn't have telegraphed it so far ahead of time and would have sent more drones and missiles. To me that seems like a clear win for Israel, not only did they take out senior military, they also attacked an embassy directly and the only real price was very minor damage to a runway. A Bedouin girl was injured as well but as far as I know that was from debris not an actual targeted attack, hopefully she recovered okay.

Iran may have acted the same either way but by attacking the embassy it gave more credibility to their response than it would have otherwise IMO. It may have ended the same way but it's still a win for Israel overall. Israel threw the first punch in this particular exchange and still managed to come out with everyone on their side, most world leaders are condemning Iran and begging Israel not to escalate. There will be other reasons to attack Iran I'm sure, I don't think this is a good one, especially with the US signaling they don't want to help.
