A prominent general in Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard died in an Israeli airstrike that killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut.

A prominent general in Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard died in an Israeli airstrike that killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut, Iranian media reported Saturday.

The killing of Gen. Abbas Nilforushan marks the latest casualty suffered by Iran as the nearly yearlong Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Stripteeters on the edge of becoming a regional conflict. His death further ratchets up pressure on Iran to respond, even as Tehran has signaled in recent months that it wants to negotiate with the West over sanctions crushing its economy.

…

Nilforushan served as the deputy commander for operations in the Guard, a role overseeing its ground forces. What he was doing in Lebanon on Friday wasn’t immediately clear. The Guard’s expeditionary Quds Force for decades has armed, trained and relied on Hezbollah as part of its strategy to rely on regional militias as a counterbalance to Israel and the United States.

    So you just jump into the middle of threads to chime in about your perceptions of attitudes? Ignoring the fact that where and how you inserted yourself meant taking agreement with one side of the discussion?

    Maybe you should start reading a thread from the top, and use the context clues, to understand the implications of how you insert yourself.

    In case you’re too lazy to do that, let me show you the comment and commenter you came in defensive of:

    Some people just aren’t worth engaging with. They get their entire world view from rich “leftist” tankies on twitch and think the israel vs everyone else in the middle east conflict started last fall.

    Unless you feel some moral imperative to always turn the other cheek, I don’t understand why my attitude is such a great offense, when you clearly had no problem with their attitude. And even came to their defense.

      Gee maybe I did read the thread? I find it really fuckin unlikely someone just appears in a thread like you’re trying to say, that’s absolutely absurd. Just because I’m not running up and down the comments like you doesn’t mean shit.

      Instead what I saw was someone I sort of agree with saying dumb shit accusing everyone of being more ignorant than them. That arrogance was stupid so I mocked them and then they blew a fuckin lid and pissed from their high horse thinking, once again, they’re the smartest in the room.

      You’re not the smartest person in the room and every single person consumes propaganda to some degree you are not immune thinking you are makes you vulnerable to it doofus.

      Now grow up

        If you walked into a conversation with someone telling flat earthers that the Earth was actually round, would you get pissy with them, ask for their sources, defend the flat earthers, and then tell the round earth advocate to get off their high horse because they’re not the smartest person in the room?

        If we were discussing the pros and cons of certain political systems, or other subjective topics, I would agree with you, but we aren’t.

        Instead, you jumped in to white knight for the people who are objectively wrong. Does that make you feel morally superior?

        Get over yourself.

          If they’re being a whiny dork and assuming everyone is below them yes

          I would say exactly the same shit. I’d tease their arrogance and point out you convince nobody being such an ass.

          You walked into that one dopey

            That’s a very roundabout way of answering, “Yes”.

            Also, lol.

                No, what you literally did was qualify it, and then follow that up with a fantasy game plan for your morally righteous white knighting in defense of flat earthers and (presumably) Holocaust deniers, from those that would dare speak down to them.

                You can go back to smelling your own farts whenever you’re ready.

                  And what you try to do is lock people into one word responses that make you feel correct nobody is allowed to be multifaceted and answers can’t come with qualifying facts?

                  Foh lmfao

                    The irony is that with that response, either you lost the plot, or I did. I honestly don’t know which.

                    I genuinely don’t know what you’re referring to, and don’t care enough to read this entire thread to try and figure it out.

                    If you want to post examples, I’ll take a look.

                    I will say that if you decide not to reply and post specific examples, I will not take that to mean anything other than you not wanting to waste anymore time here in this pointless back and forth.
