She asked him what would Britain do if a hostile country attacked one of our embassies.
He replied we would respond in the strongest way.
So, is ok for us, or any country to respond to an attack, but not Iran.
Israel can kill 30,000 innocent civilians, and no criticism, but Iran gets slaughtered for an attack that resulted in no casualties
Why is it, Israel can do anything it wants, however monstrous, and there are never any sanctions or repercussions.
Every country has to abide by a set of rules if you like, except Israel.
That's not comparing like for like though. Iran have been attacking Israel for years with its funding of Hamas, Hezbollah and IRGC.

Israel know attacking Iran is not going to be a slam dunk like Palestine though, so they won't do it lightly.

There's been plenty of criticism of Israel, just no enforcement of international law. Very much the same for Russia too.

Iran will clearly reap what they have sown.

Interesting discussion about what Iran gained and the US and Israel lost from the recent exchange.

Serves them right. Just holding a British passport in Iran is a crime ( from BBC news ) . When will people learn. Don’t go to Iran !!! Now, thanks to their stupidity they will be used as political pawns and will end up costing us £millions to get them out.

Honestly hard to rustle up much sympathy, you takes the risks (which everyone is well, well aware of), then you takes your chances.

Not too dissimilar to people who go out to sea on a blow up unicorn or something and then need to be saved, at great effort and expense. Except I guess that comes with less torture and solitary confinement.
