i don't think the law matters here frankly.

what matters is whether the American taxpayer can be suckered into another war for Israel or not.

Iran's attack was indeed the opposite of October 7 attack by Hamas for which Iran has explicitly stated that it was not happy that Hamas did that.

that's of course because Hamas wittingly or unwittingly was working for Israel when they handed Israel the ace Israel needed to launch the genocide in "retaliation"

Iran on other hand was not about to give Israel such an ace but also they couldn't show themselves to be complete pushovers and thus they came up with this "attack" that will go down as the most diplomatic military attack in history LOL

but again, none of this matters.  what matters is how much ( or how little ) control over America Israel has at the moment.

also with elections around the corner we need to have a statement from Trump about this.

the problem Israel is facing is everybody knows exactly what they're doing.  they are Genociding Palestinians in hope of provoking Iran but Iran is refusing to be provoked except for the most measured of responses ...

what Israel needs is dead babies like they were able to conjure up with October 7th - absent that with the world sentiment on the side of Palestine it will be hard for them to drag US into a war with Iran that they so desperately want ...

remember Israel had to do 9-11 to drag US into Iraq and Afghanistan ... and most people believe Israel has more than retaliated for October 7th already ...

it's a tough situation for everybody right now ... both Jews and Arabs ...
