iran's foreign minister reportedly going to new york
"The slated visit to New York comes as Iran and the US continue to exchange messages in an apparent effort to avoid an expansion of the Gaza war. According to some unconfirmed reports, Tehran may be ready to stand down—provided that Washington compels a cease-fire in Gaza."

The Americans pleaded with the Israelis not to do so for some reason and the Israelis acceeded to their wish. I bet the Israelis won't make that mistake again considering the grief they have had with Iran backed terrorist organisations.
Untittled - Hi - good question - I suppose we have to wait and see. Attacking embassies takes back to the peloponnesian war (300BC) - if you didnt like an embassy ( person) you got tortured and killed.
what amazes me is that is a GAza question by extension and it hasnt been zapped. Perhaps some things DO change
Meanwhile tragic news, which can only increase Israel's resolve to see off Hamas: According to Yaron Avraham on Channel 12 Israel news, Hamas has told the mediators that it does not have 40 hostages in the humanitarian category that are still alive. That is a category of women, children, the elderly, and the sick. The number that they say is alive, which is significantly lower, has not been made public. This, of course, is a serious obstacle for the ceasefire talks that seem to be progressing.
they did withstand an eight year war with Iraq which was pretty horrific and their country has grown an awful lot stronger since then... i think it is unwise in the extreme to underestimate iran.
i wonder what your view of azerbaijan is toratoratora because that is also a muslim country that is very supportive of israel (and vice-versa)
Iran today is nothing like Iraq was in 2003 tora... they are much stronger economy and much better equipped. if israel and by extension the USA went to war with them (as Israel seems desperately to want) then they would be the strongest military opponent the USA has faced since world war 2. they are not going to be a pushover and it is hubristic to underestimate them!
