Although I often agree with you, including that Netanyahu belongs in jail, the suggestion that Iran poses no threat to Israel is extremely misinformed. The Iranian regime has been calling for the destruction of Israel, including by nuclear bombs, for a long time. It's not just talk. They have long funded and supplied anti-Israel military action by Hezbollah, Hamas and the Houthis.

Iran supplies Russia with many of the drones and some of the missiles Putin has used to attack Ukrainians. In earlier days of Russia's war on Ukraine, Iranian teams were embedded in the Russian army to teach them how to use drones.

Iran does not belong, even by implication, in the category of democratic countries. Repression of women, minorities, and dissidents in Iran is severe.

i’m not saying it’s a democratic country. i’m well aware of their history. i’m saying that we are seeing a dress rehearsal for attacks on democratic countries. trump and palantir are behind this.
