Iran has told Israel through the UN that it will intervene if the country’s operations against Hamas in Gaza continue, a report has claimed.

Israel has warned 1.1 million people living in the north of the enclave to evacuate ahead of an expected ground operation in Gaza with the IDF planning to strike the territory from land, sea and air.

Iran’s involvement could be through a militant group from Syria or by backing Hezbollah to join the conflict, diplomatic sources told Axios.

Meanwhile, Iran’s foreign minister Hossein Amirabdollahian said that Israel’s operations could cause fighting to expand to other areas of the Middle East which would cause Israel to suffer “a huge earthquake”, reported the Associated Press.

      If it’s good enough for elected US representatives, it’s good enough for me.

      The true answer is unequivocally yes. Fuck everyone who says otherwise trying to justify this ghoulish shit.

      I would argue the whole system is unethical. Capitalism has never bothered itself with ethics. That said, it’s arguably even more unethical.

      Not really, people have a right to defend themselves, and security is a human right.

            That’s not what I’m saying tho? You’re twisting my words.

            I’m not saying no one should make weapons. I’m saying no one should be able to make lots of money by exploiting the suffering of others (which is in this case, war).

      Not really at the moment, given how the critical conflicts right now seem to be Israel vs Hamas and Ukraine vs Russia. Western arms companies are in the rare situation where they are on the more good side right now.
