Iran informed the US that it would refrain from responding to the airstrike in which senior Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) commanders were killed in Damascus if a ceasefire in Gaza is reached, Jadeh Iran reported on Sunday.
The news outlet cited an anonymous Arab diplomatic source, saying the source spoke to the news outlet two days ago. The source added that “If America succeeds in containing the situation, it will be a great success for the Biden administration and we can build on that.”
Shame on Iran for using the Palestinians as a pawn once again.
What? They are using their leverage to save the Palestinians.
The issue is about Iran promising retaliation, something Israel had in their calculations long before executing the strike on Iran in Damascus.
Israel has historically shown that they are more than capable of striking targets inside Iran. Iran knows exactly this and this is the reason for them using the Palestinians as a shield to avoid an escalation.
Ask yourself, was the offer time limited? If not, then there is actually nothing stopping the suffering of the Palestinian people in the “offer” from Iran.
So, what aces up the sleeve does Iran have here? What leverage do you speak of?
Iran is now “using Palestinians as a human shields”? What am I even reading here? Israel is trying to escalate their Genocide to a regional war.
Iran is trying to stop israel committing Genocide and not start World War 3. A very peaceful and responsible response to israel bombing the Iranian embassy.
If you believe that Iran doesn’t have the means to attack Israel you’re a tad short on info. We have already seen the Iron Dome is a massive failure against mass missile attacks, even Hamas owned it with pipe rockets. And Iran has far more than that.
Ok, you avoided my question so let me ask again: What is the leverage Iran has that you speak of?
Israel has committed a terror attack on the Iranian embassy which is a massive violation of international law. Iran has the right to defend itself which is the leverage.
However Iran is generously presenting an option where instead of a war with massive casualties, there will be no casualties and the Genocide stops. A win win for everyone except the Genocidal Nazis in israel.
Excellent point. In our struggle against Iran it is very important to deny them this tactic. Which is why Israel should immediately stop massacring, occupying, oppressing, and ethnically cleansing the Palestinians. A free independent Palestine will definitely strip Iran of a lot of leverage in the region. To politically destroy and defeat the Iranian regime, let us all unite in proclaiming Free Palestine!
