Can someone fill me in, is there any actually grounds for Israel to attack Iran and why is the United States involved, y'know other than the usual simping for Israel.
I know people don't like to hear this but Iran has been funding terrorism forever now. Hezbolah, Houtis, Hamas - are all funded by Iran. They also been clearly working on nuclear weapons so you don't need to do complex math to see why Iran is a threat to Israel. If Iran ever gets nukes 100% they'd be aiming them at Israel or cover conventional attacks behind nuclear weapons.
As for US, Israel literally exists because it gives US an in to middle east. It's only real US ally that aligns with west's freedoms in the region and is capable of executing military and security operations in the region so obviously is a very important subject.
So in this example Israel is acting as a vassal state to the United States essentially?
It's all the same genocidal colonizer empire. They've been attacking Iran and the middle east more generally for decades if not centuries.
