Yep, just lip service, or fear of getting caught in the crossfire. Same dynamic with the Palestinian issue, a lot of Middle East governments talk, but do very little, and could actually care less unless they can use the Palestinian suffering to their advantage.
Maybe ask Egypt why it hasn’t taken in Palestinians (outside of limited medical cases for kids, often with the intent to move them elsewhere) since October 7.
Heck, a lot of Iranians don’t care much for the Palestinian cause either. Hard to blame Iranian people when they’re dealing with water shortages and basic commodity problems, while their government spends what little the country generates on proxy groups instead of investing back at home.
Note: Don’t twist this into “Palestinians are terrorists.” That’s not what I said. I’m talking about the Iranian regime funding terrorist organizations like Hamas, which is based in Gaza. Big difference. Please read before responding.
. The 12 day war was no threat to Iran either and they knew it simply from what they received and the limited inventory in the region. 12 days like you said. They didn't surrender. It stopped because israel couldn't keep up with air defence and american supplies needed replenishment aswell. Hence 12 days. Hence the difference in build up this time around by the US and Israel to sustain a longer more brutal attack to try and collapse the regime because previous attempts kept failing. As this one will . To change the regime in Iran their are only 2 possible options left . 1. Nuke the whole country . Or 2. Invade defeat occupy and remain. Anything less fails everytime. Economically fails.
