b9AcEI have seen what appears to be people crushed to death, on the sidewalks and streets, by the debris from the residential houses destroyed by Israel bombing Tehran.
I'm not going to be sharing those.
You DO NOT attack densely populated areas with high-explosives!
It is by its nature an indiscriminate attack and therefore a war crime.

"First stage", indicating as previously stated that they intend to keep going with this war of aggression for a long time. Some Israeli media indicate a matter of weeks being planned at least.

It would be a miracle if that was NOT the case after bombing the... well, you've seen what they bombed.
Regime media reportedly claims there is no radioactive radiation after Israel's bombing of the nuclear facility at Natanz, central Iran.
I doubt they would say there was, if there was, if they can get away with it.

Still does of course NOT justify bombing densely populated areas.

Of course.
Remember that when the rulers war for dominance, it's the regular people who get crushed to death in between them, always and everywhere.

'Iran warned it has a "legal and legitimate right" to respond to Israel's deadly attacks Friday [...]'
AFP: https://www.lbcgroup.tv/news/middleeastnews/859717/iran-says-has-39legitimate-right39-to-respond-to-israel-attacks/en?src=rss&utm_source=TheWALL360&utm_medium=Rss-articles&utm_campaign=rss&utm_term=Rss
Actually, no, that is factually incorrect. A State has the right to defend against an attack from another State's territory until that particular instance of attack has ended.
There does not exist any right to "retaliate", nor any right to "preemptive attack".
Both of those are simply acts of war of aggression.
If a State has been attacked from another's territory and they don't resolve it diplomatically, the attacked's right is to bring the matter to the UN Security Council, which then is to consider potential sanctions which may be of many types including economic and even deciding that the attacked State is given the right to go to war against the attacker, for example if the attacks keep reoccurring. In the latter case the attacked State does then have a legal right to go to war without it being a war of aggression, crime against peace.
Both Israel and Iran keep claiming fictional rights to "retaliate" or "preempt" as justifications for war, but those do not exist, for any State equally.
Not my opinion or wish. It's the States' system as they have designed it and all States agree to by declaring themselves States, is a part of the UN Charter and similar.
It's some special kind of crazy to bombard a nuclear reactor. Some Putin kind of crazy.
now has been canceled due to recent developments: Iran being bombed by Israel for allegedly getting nukes,
so that bombing against acquisition of nukes thereby prevented the diplomatic agreement which would have kept Iran from getting nukes.
Good job, Bibi, you... *gaah*
Israel: We must attack them to stop them from getting nukes.
Iran: We must get nukes now because they attacked us.
Or, actually literally:

“One should not speak to such a predatory regime except in the language of power,” the Iranian government said in a statement.
“The world now better understands Iran’s insistence on the right to enrichment, nuclear technology, and missile power.”

Anyone could and should have predicted that result of the attacks.
so should start impacts in Iran within a matter of minutes.
OK, fine. Good even, but you know what you should have done?
You should have done that INSTEAD of sending the kamikaze-drones in "retaliation".
Then you would have had a much stronger case AT THAT UNSC MEETING.
Sigh.
as Iran and Israel fight across it again,
this time Iran's drones being shot down by Israel inside Jordan.

"Iran says Israel attack 'declaration of war'"

Almost true. Israel's bombings were acts of war of aggression, initiating a war without right to war (jus ad bellum), which is not just a violation of international law but also as often quoted from the precedents setting Nuremberg Tribunal "the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole",
but it was not a "declaration" of war, it was launching a war without a declaration, which technically is also a separate (and lesser) violation.
What they may have meant was to say that due to Israel's bombings there is now a de facto and de jure state of war, an international armed conflict, which is true, as technically the moment one bullet (or equivalent or more) crosses from one State's territory into another's those States are in a state of war until they resolve it diplomatically (or remain unaware of it/ignore it away).

Well, I think you're a jingoistic moron, a danger to everyone on earth and actually the underlying root cause for these attacks since it was YOU personally who broke the previous agreement with Iran which was effectively keeping Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. So there's that.
Oh, whoops.
I now noticed that I accidentally broke my toots-thread dedicated to Israel's war of aggression bombings of Iran (and related) during the night to today.
My first thread accidentally ended here https://todon.eu/@b9AcE/114673285586626180 while it should have continued with everything in this thread.
in addition to whatever the numbers may be outside Tehran too.

So that explains the decrease in reports.
Also, what do you mean by "normalcy"? Will the Mullahs regime resign and let the people have a normal political life? (─←sarcasm)
Erdoğan commented Israel's war of aggression attacks in Iran during night to today and onwards.
─────
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Friday warned Israel was seeking to drag the world into "disaster" after strikes on Iran, urging the international community to stop what he called Israel's "banditry."
"The international community must put an end to Israeli banditry that targets global and regional stability," said Erdogan.

I mean... everyone should protest Israel's war of aggression bombings, anyone's war of aggression anything, but... maybe not Erdoğan, specifically.
At one point I counted that douche being in a total of FIVE wars of aggression on two continents, on the aggressor side, at least,
and is currently in two wars of aggression launched by Erdoğan.
You are exactly the same as Netanyahu. In genocidalism, expansionist aggression, oppressive rule and in being a threat to everyone on earth.

Technically, according to the rules for States agreed to by every State by declaring itself a State, that does mean there is or was a state of war between Israel and Iraq too, although it seems probable Iraq won't push the matter very hard more than demanding the UNSC act and then probably letting it go, is my guess.
Iraq is kinda busy at the moment, e.g. by being occupied by Turkey.
@KCK_Kurdistan_ Executive Council Co-Chairpersons in a rough translation:
────
Following midnight last night, Israel conducted extensive airstrikes against Iran. This attack has further deepened the war that escalated on Oct 7, 2023, causing significant harm to peoples in all respects and leading to destruction and great suffering. Wars developed by States for the sake of power, authority, and hegemony have not only failed to resolve problems but also caused immense harm to peoples. […] The history of the Middle East, adorned with continuous warfare for a century, has sufficiently shown that no problem can be solved through war; it leads to pain, loss, and destruction, further complicating issues and making them insurmountable. We condemn and criticize this war that brings losses to peoples, leads to destruction, and causes harm.
[…]
We reiterate once again that problems in the Middle East can only be solved through democratic modernity and a democratic understanding of nations. The capitalist modernist understanding of a single Nation-State, with its lust for power, authority, and hegemony, has sufficiently proven that through it, it is impossible to establish peaceful life in the Middle East […]

MudMob@KCK_Kurdistan_ , thank you for being a voice of reason in this world. 
I suggest people very much to educate themselves about Rojava and the model of democratic confederalism. This really gives hope in these dark times.
AbortedOrangeI'm not in a smiley mood today, but otherwise there would have probable been one or more of those here...
Bilal Barakat 🍉I absolutely take your point and you'll see I boosted your OP about there being no "self-defence" once the attack is over. Having said that, Israel itself said something about this having been the first round or something to that effect, so we don't strictly ‧know‧ that the Iranian drones are retaliatory as opposed to targeting facilities from which another attack is ‧imminent‧ (and yes, that is the absolutely crucial condition)?
The article 51 of the UN Chartera that they invoked is about "individual or collective self-defence".
I'm pretty sure that if John Doe punches someone and at court says "I did it to respond to being hit" then Doe would get convicted for that, whilst if John doe instead says "I did it do defend myself from the previous attack reasonably being believed to continuing" and proves it to be reasonable then Doe would be acquitted (unless it was excessive).
If they would not have said that it was "responding to" before launching, but instead "defending against" openly announced continuing waves of attack or even just kept quiet, then I would have considered them to probably fulfill the criteria at that point for being able to claim it being self-defense, depending on what they target, etc.
