Tehran “is the principal source of regional instability and terror,” declare G7 leaders in a joint statement.

The leaders of the G7 countries on Monday issued a joint statement saying Iran should not have nuclear weapons and affirming Israel’s right to defend itself.

“Iran is the principal source of regional instability and terror. We have been consistently clear that Iran can never have a nuclear weapon,” declared the statement, issued by the leaders of the U.S., U.K., France, Germany, Italy, Canada and Japan, along with the EU.

They pledged to “remain vigilant to the implications for international energy markets and stand ready to coordinate, including with like-minded partners, to safeguard market stability.”

      Yes. You asked who is comitting genocide in an attempt to shut me up, because you thought the side that commits genocide must inherently be the bad person in any situation. Seen in the context that I said not to frame Iran as a victim, this attempt to contradict me must mean you think Iran IS the victim here. They aren’t. Now pack up your bullshit attempt to backtrack, and try to argue like an adult.

        Oh wow, I didn’t even realize that I said all of that in my short comment 🙄.

        I said nothing about Iran being a “victim,” so please take your strawman elsewhere.

        Israel is actively committing genocide, Iran is not. It’s that fucking simple.

        They’re both bad, but one is clearly worse here.

          Okay, well there’s something called context. When you comment on something within a certain context appearing contradicting, it’s reasonable to assume you’re contradicting that certain context. My comment was only and completely about Iran not being a victim, when you comment something that appears to want to be contradicting, it would seem you’re trying to prove that Iran is in fact a victim.
