Iran on Tuesday launched a major missile attack on Israel, firing scores of rockets as air raids have sounded off in all parts of the country.
Sounds of explosions were heard in the cities of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. The attack comes several days after Israel killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in a massive strike on southern Beirut, and comes amid Israeli cross border raids into Lebanon.
This is a developing story…
Another night of wondering whether I’ll wake up to WW3 tomorrow.
The good news is that afterward, some redneck drunkard scientist with a spare Titan II missile somewhere in Montana will give us warp drive.
Huh what
What’s the reference of this
in star trek, humans invent warp drive in a ship based on an old missile after ww3
It’ll happen when and if it happens. Enjoy today by taking care of yourself.
WW3 technically started in 1947
Iran has the right to defend itself
I was about to post that a US official said a strike from Iran was imminent
I didn’t realize “imminent” meant just 3 hours…
Is this gonna start world war 3?
Not likely. How many similar Middle East conflicts have already happened since WWII? Why would this one be different
They’re both nuclear powers.
Nuclear powers are famous for lobbing nukes, right
At least one of them is.
We’ve been sliding into it for months.
No we are not lol the middle east has been fighting for… Most of world history at this point
This somehow sounds racist. Does world history mean after WW2? Also I’m more inclined to say “middle east has been under attack” instead of fighting.
On what planet is that racist? That geographical region has been unstable for most of world history. Zero further implication. I’m trying to not be an asshole about this, but accusing someone of being racist is a real dick move when even Wikipedia has to divide its pages on the topic into different eras.
“List of modern conflicts in the Middle East”, wdym world history?
I’m not accusing you and I apologise if it looked like that, I’m just asking you directly. I see a lot of comments like “nuke middle east” from rw nutjobs idk why this reminded me of that. I apologise.
I guess it’s a bit of a lazy summary, because it sort of implies that the region has been fighting among itself just for reasons, rather than the region being conflict prone because of colonialist foreign policy. I wouldn’t say it’s racist though.
Good, and justified
