German here. If neither the US congress nor the rest of the world holds Mr. Trump and Mr. Netanjahu accountable for their crimes, Iran maybe will. To use Mr. Trump's own words: Iran have some more cards than the narcissist in US office that already shot his missiles.

it's crazy how many Americans you can always see in these comments talking about all this like it's a sport match, they've been so conditioned to not care about anything and look at everything like it's entertainment that their brain is soup now
they won't realize this isn't a boxing match until it hits their wallets directly

These sorts of action will eventuall lead to serious world wars , nation will not accept closure of their business
@
The unnecessary war raged by US and Israel on Iran is becoming more complex and hurting Oil supplies to about 100 countries .
Irresponsible act by US and Israel to hurt world economy like this ..
@
At the end of this war the Americans will be educated on the world maps😂
@
Because of the US and Israel*
@
I love how DW always acts completely shocked by the most highly telegraphed and rehearsed moves. If Iran does it, it's SHOCKING!!
@
Everything Trump touches dies. Also, TACO.
@
The only problem here is a country that is an ocean away and who had no business in mid east. US is a menace to the world now

I was required to read The Diary of Anne Frank by middle school, but I didn’t hear the word N@kba one time and was never taught any history of the modern Middle East In 18 years of US schooling, including getting a college degree in religion, until looking it up myself after Oct 7th. FOOL ME ONCE, SHAME ON YOU. I know who the LIARS are.

My high school child spent 3 months in US public school learning about the Holo€aust, reading Elie Wiesel and watching Hollywood’s “Life is Beautiful” during instructional hours. In those 3 months, Palestine was not mentioned one time nor any events happening in the Middle East during that period. I can’t get fooled twice and I won’t let my kid get fooled either. The good news is, the younger generation is onto you. They aren’t as gullible as older Americans are. Get ready for change.

We are in an upside down world where the people who are being bombed in their home country are the terrorists and the ones bombing them miles away are defending themselves!

The Samson Option refers to Israel, not Iran.
