Bloomberg has just released a news article blaming Israel for Iran’s massive ballistic missile attack yesterday that sent 10 million Israelis running for bomb shelters.
Yes, I said ‘news article’. It was not an op-ed.
Middle East Crisis: Iran Pushed Into Reluctant Response by Israel Attacks – Bloomberg
— Mike Walker (@New_Narrative) October 2, 2024
The anti-Israel article entitled “Middle East Crisis: Iran Pushed Into Reluctant Response by Israel Attacks” was written by American-Lebanese journalist Sam Dagher and British-Iranian journalist Golnar Motevalli.
Here’s what they write:
Iran’s generals and clerics have repeatedly shown a reluctance to go to war in recent months, yet the scale of Israel’s damage to the country’s regional prowess left them with little option but to retaliate.
The assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah last week dealt a crushing blow to Iran’s decades-in-the-making network of armed allies, the most powerful of which is the Lebanon-based group. His death in an Israeli airstrike came either side of days of intense bombing, followed by a ground incursion early Monday.
Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s initial response to Nasrallah’s death was that Hezbollah would lead retaliatory efforts, alongside Lebanon.
