Who, if anyone, is Iran allowed to retaliate against?

The US started this. Amazon is an American company with many governmental and military contracts. Why would it not be a valid target?

How many Iranian hospitals, schools, bridges, data centers, etc have been destroyed?

  • > Who, if anyone, is Iran allowed to retaliate against?

    The answer here is surrender and disarmament. It's the only outcome that seems compatible with the reintegration of Iran into the world economy, normalization of diplomatic relationships with neighboring countries, and path to development/prosperity for its people.

    • Iran will never surrender because US/Israel proved themselves unequivocally to be brutal savages that will torture, rape and kill you if you surrender. There is literally no point in surrendering to a barbarian horde.

And what does Iran get in return for America butchering 160 innocent kids, or assassinating their leader? Or does "fairness" only flow in one direction?

  • What do the Americans get for their relatives murdered by IRGC throughout the years?

    • Let's do it fairly.

      Like 100s (?) of Americans killed by Iran ever.

      Compare to Iranians: Affected by the aftermath of the American coup of Mosaddegh (ultimately leading to IRGC's existence), providing weapons to Iraq for the Iran-Iraq War (200K deaths), etc. + decades of stupid policy trying to take their oil in the name of "regional security" (for "our" oil).

    • If we're being perfectly fair, they would have to get the same thing Hamas gets

    • At some point, as an American, we must accept the consequences for being warmongers. If we want less harm, we should stop causing it all around the world for no objective gain (prove me wrong, I see no gains, only trillions of dollars incinerated and countless lives lost). But the US keeps lobbing stones expecting no consequences for doing so. Something about insanity being doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

      “Just one more conflict bro” as the kids would say.

  • Iran gets to learn "you break it, you buy it," with their own money. The remaining government officials still running their mouths on X and elsewhere should also be grateful they are still alive.

    • The US started the war though and have very recently been targeting civilian infrastructure as well. So by your logic should be replacing it.
