In an interview with NBC News, Hossein Amirabdollahian refused to acknowledge that Israel was behind the recent attack on his country.

Iran’s foreign minister on Friday refused to acknowledge that Israel was behind the recent attack on his country and described the weapons that were used as more like children’s toys.

“What happened last night was not a strike,” the foreign minister, Hossein Amirabdollahian, said in an interview with NBC News’ Tom Llamas. “They were more like toys that our children play with  not drones.”

Amirabdollahian, who spoke to NBC News in New York where he was attending a U.N. Security Council session, said Iran was not planning to respond unless Israel launches a significant attack.

“As long as there is no new adventurism by Israel against our interests, then we are not going to have any new reactions,” he said.

    It’s pretty disgusting to see you cheer for Islamic terrorist groups who would throw you off buildings. Iran was responsible for October 7th, Hamas is their proxy.

      I don’t think anyone in this thread has “cheered for Islamic terrorist groups”.

      The factual statements people have made are true: Iran has been the more restrained actor. Israel’s aggression has been alarming. The US govt’s position has prioritized an alliance far past our national interests. It’s any of this incorrect?

      I don’t like the Iranian govt. I don’t like the current Israeli gov’t. I’m not thrilled with America’s gov’t. I love my country (the US), and I like most Israelis, Palestinians, and Iranians. Is that really hard to reconcile? It seems like the majority opinion.

        Look at queermunist’s comment history, every time I see them in the comment section, they are simping for some islamist violent group known for murdering LGBT people. When it wasn’t Iran it was Hamas.

            There’s no historical grievance with the Islamic World? They’re one of those people who deny the Uighur genocide, aren’t they?

            Literally nothing they said in that thread came close to supporting ISIS and nothing else I’ve seen from them comes close. you just can’t comprehend the idea that someone could want fewer Palestinian children to get bombed

      And where does Bibi fit into that, having directly funded Hamas for literal decades?
