UAE reports large fire at oil port after drone attack from Iran
We’re also hearing from local officials in Fujairah, who say a large fire has broken out at the key UAE oil port after it was hit by a drone attack from Iran.
Fujairah is the Emirates’ biggest port and oil storage facility. Before the ceasefire, it was also targeted in drone attacks.
In a statement shared on social media, the Fujairah Government Media Office says civil defence teams are working to contain the fire.
It doesn’t matter to me who broke the ceasefire first. All three of them suck. If Iran is bombing now, they are breaching the ceasefire. “But they did it first!!” is the kind of school yard mentality we already have more than enough of in this world. Let’s not perpetuate the behaviour.
What about the US and Israel launching an illegal war of aggression under the perfidious cover of negotiations, the second time in 8 months.
Can we blame them for that or is that also “they did it first” Schoolyard hijinks?
Sure we can. This is a bullshit war that nobody but Netanyahu wanted.
What we can put under school yard shenanigans however, is your attempt at baiting me because you didn’t like my opinion.
Grow the fuck up people.
The usa and the major western countries wanted it. They just didn’t want one that would cause too much damage to the global economy
Of course it does. Iran has the right to defend itself. The childish person is you. When you sign a contract if you broke it, it becomes null and the other side is no longer obliged to continue to follow it
Like I said, I don’t give two shits about it. They’re both acting like assholes.
You also may have missed it, but there was a new ceasefire after Israel violated the previous one.
And you can stop with the name-calling, cause that is peak school yard mentality.
Logic do not give two shit about what yo said either
Only you can use the word childish ? When you say it it is not name calling and when I do it is named calling? If you can use it, so do I.
The assholes are the aggressors which are the USA/Israel and their allies . Iran acting after the USA and Israel made it null is fully legitimate and not an asshole move . Iran never agreed to any extension to any cease fire.
Of course I’m not the only one who can use a word. Don’t be ridiculous. But saying “no u” is peak schoolyardism. Grow up.
Also I’m not going to talk to an Irani-indoctrinated bot who is using the MAGA playbook. I’ve encountered enough MAGAts to recognize the signs in conversation.
You can’t have an objective discussion unless you break free from it so there is no point for me in discussing anything with you until you do. Good luck.
I explained to you why I think you are childish. You are mad that I used the word childish toward you and called it name calling when you still attacking me personally , here you are now accusing me of being an Iranian bot
Another childish statement from you . I am not an Iranian bot , I acknowledge that the regime is brutal and should stop oppressing it’s people but I refuse to reject Iran’s right to defend itself against an external threat threatening to genocide them and their right to act against the breach of the cease fire
You haven’t actually.
I don’t get mad at people who I don’t take seriously.
Because you are…
I don’t think you know what that word means. I’ve been acting like the only adult here.
And like I said: if you can’t have a normal conversation without name calling like a fucking schoolboy you’re just a MAGAt equivalent to me and you won’t get anything out of me. Better luck next time.
Instead of counter augmenting my points, you are mad about me using the word childish toward you. Everything else you mentioned in this comment are also all childish because you still not providing any argument.
If you don’t take me seriously just move on . That’s the adult way of interacting with others
I am not. I oppose Iran’s oppression of civilians. It doesn’t mean I have to reject Iran’s right to defend itself against a war of aggression and act against the other side making the cease fire null by not abiding to the term of it
No it is you who don’t know what name calling is. Calling me an Iranian bot is name-calling, calling me a MAGAt like person is also name-calling.
Of course it matter who broke it. Once a deal is broken , Iran has the right to act and defend itself. It is not schoolyard mentality, it is ligitimate actions in conflicts
Do you know how reality works?
Yes. Do you?
It’s been somewhat scientifically proven that being “nice” but retaliating is the most effective strategy when dealing with another party that over multiple encounters may choose to cooperate with you or betray you - this scenario is known as “The prisoner’s dilemma”.
Good Veritasium video on the subject (YT)
True. I didn’t mean it wasn’t a smart or strategic move.
Just that there are no good guys in this war.
Only the agressor is the bad guy
Iran is the aggressor towards their own people. And Trump claims to have come to their aid , whether you believe that or not is another thing.
So no, definitely not just the aggressor is bad guy and this is an exceptionally bad take.
We are talking about the war of agression on Iran . The only bad guys in the context is the usa/israel and all their backers.
You don’t have to tell me that Iran is an theocracy, I know it and I don’t support that. Comitting a genocide on Iran won’t save Iranians.
Nobody unbiased would believe Trump wanted to sace the protesters. It is a very bad take to believe that.
Yes, but a case can be made that the countries came to the aid of the Irani people who were being killed by the thousands. That doesn’t mean it’s true. But you really need to stop defending Iran. They’re not the good guys you want to make them out to be.
That being said I think it is still a war of aggression but your views are way too simplistic. Just because Iran was attacked doesn’t make them the good guy in general or in this war.
Not every war is genocide. Don’t use it so lightly because it diminishes what happened in WW2 or in Gaza and an insult to those who died because of actual genocide. Killing protesters by the thousands is closer to genocide than the war Israel and US are waging on Iran.
You really have some bad takes in this and it reflects poorly on you.
There isn’t any case to be made. The USA and Israel want to destroy Iran as a country, not just the regime. I am defending a country being attacked by two of the most terrible countries. First is Israel, which is committing a genocide in Gaza and wants to steal land from other countries. They compare Iranians to Amalek, which is a call for genocide and the murder of babies. Second is the USA, which is responsible for millions of deaths by creating failed states, starting coups, and dropping the most bombs. Is another Libya or Iraq what you want? I am not using the word genocide lightly the agressors languages and actions proof it : destruction of schools, hospitals and cultural centers is all genocidal actions
Both side are bad in a war is the most simplistic thing you can ever said. With your logic both the allies and axis in world war 2 are the same because many allies countries was innocent people in tbe colonized countries.
Only the aggressors are the bad guys in the context of a war of agression
That doesn’t automatically mean that the regime that’s defending Iran are the good guys…
Of course nobody wants a next Iraq, but that is not the discussion here. It’s pointless to drag other wars into this discussion, because that is not what it is about. We have already clearly established that US and Israel are the aggressors and are bad guys, that they’re doing terrible things and have done terrible things in the past.
The issue is that you claim that the third party in this war is somehow a good guy, which is not only utter nonsense, but also an insult to the thousands protesters who died over the last several years trying to fight the oppression by this so-called “good guy” of yours.
Iran is justified in its retaliation, start shit and get hit.
More school yard mentality. Great!
Sounds just like Trump and his goons.
