Unprecedented does not mean unprovoked. Iran was within its right to retaliate against Israel, because prior to that Israel had attacked one of its embassies in Syria—a direct result of the US emboldening Israel to basically do whatever the fuck it wanted without repercussions.

However, this does not change the fact that it’s unprecedented: Iran has never directly attacked Israel before. It has indirectly done so, through other countries’ drones, but never directly. This is the first time in decades that any major state has retaliated against Israel directly. Does that mean it’s unprovoked? No. It absolutely was provoked. But it also is a first, which is why the SWANA region is teetering on an uncertain edge right now.

With all that said, mainstream media’s coverage of this is absolutely dishonest. They do make it seem as if Iran attacked Israel out of the blue, when it absolutely was not the case. I think it’s fair to think that Iran was within its right to retaliate, but to also be afraid for innocent civilians potentially caught in the crossfire.

At the end of the day Israel’s rabid actions pretty much forced Iran’s hand to attack—but this is also the worst possible outcome. A lot of us are afraid it will get worse from here.

As an Iraqi girl it’s just extremely hard for me to reduce anyone to an NPC when it’s literally both my mom and my dad’s family living in countries that might get entangled in this. I am supportive of any retaliation against the genocidal entity that is Israel in general, and Iran had a right to retaliate, but also scared for the blowback because I want my relatives to be safe. It’s hard to feel any other way because that is my family, my country, multiple countries… a whole region caught in the crossfire.

I blame the US for this entirely. It is the diseased root that is sowing all of this.
