What’s impressive about bombing an embassy? Like, pick a random embassy in a random country and bomb it, you’ll kill a bunch of people.


Killing completely random people is easy (and a war crime), killing a bunch of military commanders is much harder (and a valid military operation). This was the second one.

They covered that in words 6 through 17 of their comment.


It was a building NEAR the embassy used by Iranian army and Hizbollah. It was not something official.


I remember hearing almost exactly the same weak excuses when Israel bombed the Church of Saint Porphyrius. “Well actually it was the building right next to it (that is exclusively used by it)”. It’s not fooling anyone.


In this case we have pretty strong proof since we know exactly who was killed in the strike, don't we?
