Israeli strikes rock Tehran as Iran's counterattacks widen after the killing of the supreme leader

https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/irans-parliament-speaker-calls-us-052443644.html

Look what Trump did.

Since when is it our responsibility to start a regime change?

-----snip
“You have crossed our red line and must pay the price,” Iran’s parliamentary speaker, Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, said in a televised address Sunday. “We will deliver such devastating blows that you yourselves will be driven to beg.”

Trump warned that any retaliation would only lead to further escalation.

“THEY BETTER NOT DO THAT,” Trump fired back in a social media post. “IF THEY DO, WE WILL HIT THEM WITH A FORCE THAT HAS NEVER BEEN SEEN BEFORE!”

9 dead at Pakistan consulate. See below.

Israel’s prime minister should probably hide out in a bunker for the rest of his life.

If I was in any way related(friends and/or family) to Humpty Dumpty, I think I'd lay low from this moron for the next 6-12 months.

What's the saying? What goes around, comes around. Trump really poked the bear this time.

Trump can’t expect them to do the opposite of what he does.
Retaliation isn’t a human reaction invented and owned just by trump.
