Saudi Arabia Reports First Civilian Deaths In Iran War by Pakute(op): 8:11am On Mar 09

Saudi Arabia has reported its first civilian deaths since the war involving Iran began. A military projectile fell on a residential area, killing two people — an Indian citizen and a Bangladeshi national. Twelve other Bangladeshis were injured, according to a Saudi statement issued on Sunday evening.

Iran on Sunday indicated it had chosen Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's son Mojtaba as his successor.

The development comes as tensions rise across the Middle East after hundreds of Iranian missiles and drones were launched at Gulf and other regional targets during the nine‑day conflict.

Arab League chief Ahmed Abouel Gheit, speaking at a diplomatic meeting on Sunday, criticised Iran for a "reckless policy" of attacking Arab countries. The fighting has widened across the region.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, in his latest threat, backtracked from conciliatory comments a day earlier in which he apologized for attacks on Gulf neighbors' soil. Iranian hard-liners had swiftly contradicted him, saying war strategy wouldn't change.

Israel carried out strikes in southern Lebanon and Beirut and targeted oil storage facilities in Tehran. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said there would be "many surprises" in the next phase of the conflict.

Iran also hit a desalination plant in Bahrain.

Earlier on Sunday, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said a US airstrike damaged an Iranian desalination facility on Qeshm Island, adding that "the US set this precedent, not Iran."

Desalination plants are key sources of drinking water across the Gulf. An Israeli strike on oil storage sites in Tehran sent flames into the night sky on Saturday, according to Associated Press video.

Pezeshkian said Iran's military response would only strengthen.

"The more pressure they impose on us, the stronger our response will naturally be," Pezeshkian said. "Our Iran, our country, will not bow easily in the face of bullying, oppression or aggression - and it never has."

A day earlier, Pezeshkian said Iran regretted regional concerns and urged neighboring states not to take part in U.S. and Israeli attacks. He accused the U.S. of trying to pit countries against one another.

Hypocrisy at its disgusting peak.
Who started the war against Iran?
Which other country has Iran attacked unprovoked?

So they should not retaliate when jewish and american imperialists attack them to advance their lunatic imperialistic objectives?

Oh right, because up until now they've only been launching rockets for absolutely no reason just target practice. But yeah, the nukes are where it gets scary.

This news will bring joy to those Zionist terrorists and their supporters.

WE NOW HAVE EVIDENCES THAT THOSE ATTACKS ON THOSE ARAB COUNTRIES WERE CARRIED OUT BY USA AND THE ZIONIST TERRORISTS.
THEY'RE ARE DOING THAT TO INFURIATE THOSE COUNTRIES AGAINST IRAN.
IRAN ONLY ATTACKED USA INFRASTRUCTURES IN THOSE REGIONS, AND THEY EVEN MADE ANNOUNCEMENT AND ASKED PEOPLE TO EVACUATE THOSE PLACES BEFORE ATTACKING.

You're delusional if you think this war is about religion. As Nigerians, it'd be so wrong to assess the war through a religious spectrum.

Many of you. have just allowed foolishness and hypocrisy to ruin your sense of reasoning.
The USA that have developed it, what have they been using it to do? Have they not only been bombing various countries around the world, causing death and violence in different countries and exploiting different governments.
Israel is only doing the same thing because they've managed to steal the technology and because they always have the backings and support of USA. They've become terrorists bullying and terrorising all their neighbouring.

Over 10 countries have the technology for more than 50 years and THE ONLY ONE THAT HAVE USED IT TO KILL HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF CIVILIANS IS USA.

For long, they've tried to bully and invade north Korea, but it has been impossible for them to do so, because they also have. That is the only reason.

Do you think USA would have kidnapped the president of Venezuela if the country had nuclear weapons?
It's common sense now to the world that if you have resources and want to protect it against bullies, you need to have it.

Please stop the nonsense. That's one of the reasons I stayed out from the discussion as some of you believe one can't express his opinion about the war without being religious

Religion is for those who are not interested in reasoning things logically

If the USA had not been attacking Iran from bases in other countries, Iran would not have struck those countries.
Iran was not attacking Saudi Arabia. Iran has only been targeting U.S. bases and facilities in those countries.
This is one of the reasons the UK and Spain refused to allow the USA to use their bases to attack Iran.
Iran is attacking many U.S. facilities in the Middle East; they are not attacking the people of those countries.
Do you expect them to fold their arms and allow themselves to be killed by the USA and Israel?
If Iran were targeting those countries, millions of people would have been killed by now.

Also trying to say that there are infidels in Muslims and they will be bombed as well by the Extremists huh

Now I see why terrorism in Nigeria can never end because there are many extremists more than the few fearful Muslims, so there is no Peace in the religion then....because they failed to do the will of Allah....

Just hear yourself... Iran of course started until it got out of their hands. Who established Hezbollah, Houthi, Hamas? Who armed them? What's their purposes? To wipe off Israel. Have you suddenly forgotten? That chant of Iran, death to America, death to Israel. Don't allow that religion to take your common sense away bro . Think right.
