Israel attacked building next to the Iranian Embassy. Not the embassy. This is a lie repeated constantly.

Yes, they did not hit the embassy, they hit the consulate annex building, another diplomatic facility next door. Under any circumstance, that is a violation of international law. This grotesquely incomplete "correction" is repeated constantly.

You don’t get this— but then explains the bias and the generic view of ... “palestine” which was a name assigned by the Roman Empire when its long war with Judea was conducted. Which is why no ME region nations want anything to do with... palestinians- because it is an Iranian narrative vs. Sunni majority. Bye.
