A Minimal Response

Iran appears to be continuing to sit tight, beyond a military response that appears to be small enough to be categorized as more of a diplomatic jab:

Israeli media are reporting that over 100 missiles have been fired into Israel – after Iran vowed on Saturday that Israel’s assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah would be avenged. It also comes just hours after Israel launched a ground invasion of southern Lebanon to carry out raids against Iranian-backed Hezbollah targets.

100 missiles sounds like a lot, and you certainly wouldn’t want them falling in your neighborhood, but to put them into context, Israel dropped considerably more explosives than that on a single apartment complex in Beirut last week.

UPDATE: US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has said Iran’s rocket attack against Israel was “totally unacceptable” and should be condemned by “the entire world.”

Oh, shut up already. Literally no one anywhere on the planet is fooled by this open hypocrisy. If you want to fight, then fight and accept the consequences. But this childish “I’m not touching you, you’re touching me” retardery just insults human intelligence.
