      The U.S. and Israel shouldn’t have started the war on Iran, but Iran hasn’t been entirely undeserving of sanctions, particularly for its human rights abuses and its enormous aid to the Russian war effort (over 57,000 Shahed-class drones have been deployed as of April 2026) in its invasion of Ukraine.

        The USA is responsible for millions of deaths. No sanctions are placed on them. Israel is a genocidal settler-colonial power, with only weak sanctions on certain individuals after it accelerated the genocide after October 7 but no sanctions on the state itself. Europe is selling weapons for Israel to continue genocide and been doing it for decades; no sanctions are placed on Europe. Saudi Arabia is as radical as Iran in applying religion, and there are no sanctions on them. When will you idiots stop acting like the world police?

        There was sanctions on Iranians missiles and drones even before the illegal Russian invasion of Ukraine . So this is pure bullshit. It is was never about Ukraine especially when Israel has good relation with Russia too . Russia remains one of Israel’s largest suppliers of crude oil and fuel. In 2010 Israel and Russia has signed a military cooperation agreement including advanced reconnaissance drones
