France, Germany, and the United Kingdom say they’re ready to defend their interests and those of allies in the Gulf if necessary by taking “defensive action” against Iran.
“We will take steps to defend our interests and those of our allies in the region, potentially through enabling necessary and proportionate defensive action to destroy Iran’s capability to fire missiles and drones at their source,” it added.
Iran has attacked civilian stuff in those other countries in the last day as well. It isn’t just US military bases.
It is perfectly reasonable to be unhappy about the US and Israel attacking Iran AND be unhappy about Iran striking civilian targets in surrounding Gulf countries.
Care to be more specific?
I know they launched unguided missiles that did ultimately strike civilians. We would need to know the initial targets. It’s considered “normal” in a war to send large barrages towards legitimate targets and hope they hit. An airport or factory would be a legitimate target, but a school or hospital would not be.
Now of course Israel and the US have hit both schools and hospitals using guided missiles. Those were deliberately chosen targets.
I won’t condemn an invaded nation for defending itself.
Iran is controlled by an oppressive regime. That doesn’t give the US or Israel the right to invade nor does it forfeit the nations right to defend itself from invasion
