Speaking out and writing about Iran and its policies can land you in hospital as this London Journalist learnt the hard way. Stabbed Iran International journalist Pouria Zeraati 'feeling much better' The Iran International journalist stabbed in London has told the BBC he is "feeling much better". Pouria Zeraati is now back on screen at the London-based Iranian outlet after the stabbing last month. He told BBC Radio 4's Today programme he was stabbed by two men as he approached his car. Mr Zeraati also said he was in favour of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) being proscribed as a terrorist organisation in the UK. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-68824832

The Iranians opinion on this? "a significant proportion of Iranians oppose what they see as the reckless adventurism of the country's elite Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), which fired more than 300 drones and missiles on Saturday night." Iranians on edge as leaders say 'Tel Aviv is our battleground' In a letter sent to BBC Persian, a long list of Iranian activists both inside the country and abroad criticised the IRGC's actions and saying "No to warmongering!" Many Iranians also see the Iran-Israel confrontation now emerging from the shadows as being orchestrated by the Iranian government rather than reflective of the will of the Iranian people. This perception is underscored by a heavy police presence on the streets of Tehran - ostensibly about enforcing strict Islamic dress codes requiring women to cover their hair but which many suspect is mainly about crushing any possible protests. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-68823348

"So Haim recorded a voice message sending love and support to the soldiers of the Bislamach Brigade’s 17th Battalion, who were involved in the tragic incident: “I know that everything that happened is absolutely not your fault, and nobody’s fault except that of Hamas,” Mother of hostage killed by troops: ‘I wasn’t angry at the IDF for even a minute’ Iris Haim, whose son Yotam was accidentally slain by soldiers as he tried to escape captivity, says when she heard brigade morale was low, she sent a message to boost spirits https://www.timesofisrael.com/mother-of-hostage-killed-by-troops-i-wasnt-angry-at-the-idf-for-even-a-minute/

Its no surprise you forgot the unconditional release of the hostages. Bit like Hamas, they would rather forget about them but Israel and the world will never. Crucially the UNSC demanded “an immediate ceasefire for the month of Ramadan respected by all parties leading to a lasting sustainable ceasefire”. It further demanded “the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages, as well as ensuring humanitarian access to address their medical and other humanitarian needs” Source

Back on topic then: Watch IDF Chief of the General Staff LTG Herzi Halevi thank 🇺🇸 @CENTCOM , 🇬🇧Armed forces, 🇫🇷 Armed Forces and other partners for their participation in Operation Iron Shield and address the Iranian attack:

However, keep believing the propaganda by all means. Oh the irony from the one that worships Hama's favorite media outlet Al Jazeera

Good for you, dated 11th Oct and as I said don't get too stuck on old reports, that is why I posted this one to point that very point out. "We'll be looking at additional intelligence in the coming weeks and days to inform our thinking on this issue, including whether at least there were some in the Iranian system who either had a clear sense of what was coming or even contributed to aspects of the planning," said Matthew Miller, the State Department spokesman, in a Tuesday press briefing."

Thats a CNN journalist article not the US Gov who you said you prefer to believe

Did I say Iran did it alone? Would it be possible for Iran to do it alone? From the US who you believe: Administration officials have said since the attacks began that Iran has long supported Hamas with material, financial and logistical support, but that to date no evidence had been unearthed to link the attacks, which killed more than 1,200 Israelis and wounded thousands more, to Tehran. "[W]e have said since the beginning that Iran is complicit in this attack in a broad sense because they have provided the lion's share of the funding for the military wing of Hamas, they have provided training, they have provided capabilities, they have provided support, and they have had engagement and contact with Hamas over years and years," national security adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters on Tuesday. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/iran-israel-iranian-officials-surprised-by-hamas-attack-israel/

You said you believe the Americans right. So I guess you need to believe this also “I’ve seen reporting that the Iranians meant to fail. That this spectacular and embarrassing failure was all by design. I’ve also seen Iran say that they provided early warning to help Israel prepare its defenses and limit any potential damage. All of this is categorically false. To coin a phrase from the President, it is malarkey... Given the scale of this attack, Iran’s intent was clearly to cause significant destruction and casualties.…the aim was to get as many of [the drones and missiles] through Israel’s defenses as possible.”

I would go even further, and say Iran was pretty damn responsible. Iran apologist Iran has fueled Hamas for years along with other terror groups. Gave Hamas more than $200 million Secret letters written by Hamas boss who planned October 7 attack reveal Iran paid the terror group £200million

Read into that what you will. Read, just another lame attempt to discredit an established media company just because Iran and you don't like it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran_International

I'm using old information, when the WSJ post you just sent was from the day after the original attack - October 8th 2023. You refused to accept the up to date link I gave you with your dishonest excuse that its fake media so, I also gave one from the very beginning, take your pick as they say. Both give the same viewpoints.

Its only a fake media company to you and Iran, says a lot about you eh

Many Israelis were raped but that's on different topics.

I don't care who you believe, its not about you, I just suggested to not get to stuck on reports when new information comes out, I also read the article I posted and know exactly what the source which is Coalition Council of Islamic Revolution Forces (also known by its Persian acronym SHANA. The media that first reported being as you sayhttps://www.iranintl.com/ https://www.iranintl.com/en/afghanistan-en What's wrong with a media outlet being against Iran and providing uncensored news that is stifled there? Yes Iran hates them: "The Times reported that Iran is waging an "intimidation campaign" against personnel of the TV station, freezing their assets, interrogating their relatives and "threatening to snatch them from British streets if they do not quit their jobs". Iran's Ministry of Intelligence had previously named the employees of Iran International as "enemy of the state", writing on its website that those who "serve foreigners" and "betray the country" will be punished.[60] The same publication wrote in May 2020 that Iran International is thought to be target of a state-sponsored programme that "has sought to discredit its reporting and trace its followers" by creating replicas of its social media accounts. Instagram was criticized for hosting the fake accounts.[20]" From the WSJ in Oct, just because US officials have not seen that evidence at the time does not make it untrue DUBAI—Iranian security officials helped plan Hamas’s Saturday surprise attack on Israel and gave the green light for the assault at a meeting in Beirut last Monday, according to senior members of Hamas and Hezbollah, another Iran-backed militant group. Officers of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps had worked with Hamas since August to devise the air, land and sea incursions—the most significant breach of Israel’s borders since the 1973 Yom Kippur War—those people said. Details of the operation were refined during several meetings in Beirut attended by IRGC officers and representatives of four Iran-backed militant groups, including Hamas, which holds power in Gaza, and Hezbollah, a Shiite militant group and political faction in Lebanon, they said. https://www.wsj.com/world/middle-east/iran-israel-hamas-strike-planning-bbe07b25 https://archive.ph/XK0kV

Don't get too stuck on old reports when new information comes to hand. Iran International reported that Coalition Council of Islamic Revolution Forces (also known by its Persian acronym SHANA) honored Zahedi’s “strategic role in forming and strengthening the resistance front as well as in planning and executing the Al-Aqsa Storm." Hamas called its mass rapes of Israelis and slaughter of 1,200 people "Operation Al-Aqsa Storm." https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/iran-news/slain-iranian-general-planned-executed-hamas-massacre-797014

Worth every single penny to save lives. However the majority of ballistic and cruise missiles were shot down by Israel's allies the US, UK, France, Jordan and Saudi. "however expensive they may be, the interceptions of the threats are better than the potential damage they may cause."

The US stating the obvious, although not so obvious for some members here. US accuses Hamas of being ‘obstacle’ to Gaza truce after it rejected Israel’s proposal Terror group said to give mediators a new draft, claims it can only free 20 ‘humanitarian’ hostages, demands permanent end to war, return to north Gaza for displaced civilians. “The bottom line is that they have rejected it, and if they did accept it, it would allow for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza of at least six weeks, which would benefit the Palestinian people whom they claim to represent. It would also allow us to continue improvements in the delivery of humanitarian assistance,” said Miller. “The bottom line is Hamas needs to take that deal, and they need to explain to the world and to the Palestinian people why they aren’t taking it because it is Hamas right now that is the barrier and the obstacle to a ceasefire in Gaza,” he said. https://www.timesofisrael.com/us-accuses-hamas-of-being-obstacle-to-gaza-truce-after-rejecting-israels-proposal/

What are you talking about, virtually all UAV's were shot down and only a couple of cruise or ballistic missiles got through and hit an airfield. Here's one of Iran's failed ballistic relics. It was a huge success for Israel. You're on a different planet honestly.

Another Country confirms their help in the attacks against Israel Saudi Arabia acknowledges helping defend Israel against Iran Saudi Arabia's royal family posted on its website about the country's role in defending Israel against the Iranian barrage Saudi Arabia acknowledged that it had helped the newly forged regional military coalition — Israel, the United States, Jordan, the United Kingdom, and France — repel an Iranian attack against the Jewish state early Sunday morning, in an unusual post on its royal family’s website. It referenced a story on KAN News about the Saudi involvement in the military defensive operation in which 99% of the Iranian drones and missiles were destroyed before hitting their targets. Many of the drones and missiles had to travel over Jordanian and Saudi airspace to reach Israel. https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/saudi-arabia-acknowledges-helping-defend-israel-against-iran-797201

Silly question, which I'm sure you already know the answer to as its in just about every article on the internet that is related to this incident. It is also not 100% certain if/when and what sort of retaliation there will be from Israel.

US, UK, France and Jordan all helped shoot down the Iranian attack.
