Soooooooo I’d imagine right now the justification for this meme is that while Israel is out there fucking shit up and being generally awful they’re doing it “locally” and with a “goal”.
Iran launching drones and shit at Israel has a very real and serious possibility of blowing the whole Middle East into armed conflict.
It’s like when the bully is beating up your sibling BUT the bully has made it clear they won’t fuck with you unless you hop in the fight, and Iran is the brother who hopped in the fight with a wild reckless haymaker that didn’t quite land (because the bully punched Iran in the process)
Also, Jordan and Saudi Arabia are US allies. Egypt is more of a “I guess we ok but don’t fuck around” status but generally would probably prefer armed conflict all across the Middle East to not break out.
Egypt’s government needs the weapons that its treaty with the US requires America to provide, given certain conditions. As a result, Egypt is extremely averse to pissing off the West or to interfering in Israeli affairs (this latter fact is also helped by the fact that a strong Israel buffets Egypt from most regional conflicts.
No, Iran didn’t jump in with a haymaker. This was a response for Israel bombing a place in Iran and killing a general or some shit. This is distinctly not Iran injecting themselves.
Israel has been by far the biggest aggressor and they are the ones risking a broader conflict.
This was a response for Israel bombing a place in Iran
Kinda worse, actually. Israel bombed an Iranian consulate in Syria. So they bombed Iranian diplomats (and consulates and embassies are, IIRC, legally part of the country that runs them) to kill someone that they said was part of the 7 Oct Hamas assault. That’s a really, really big provocation.
Keep in mind that, despite everything, the US still has an embassy running in Moscow. So, yeah, bombing a consulate/embassy is a Really Big Fucking Deal.
Iran was using consulate for its own military stuff, and the targeted person was commander of one of iranian proxies. That’s well beyond diplomatic standards of what is supposed to happen in consulates, but Israel could just as well target that general outside of consulate

You’re correct, I left that part out of my example but added it in.
