Iran’s ambassador to Lebanon, Mojtaba Amani, was among those injured by the pager explosions on Tuesday, Iran’s Mehr news agency reported.

Attacking ambassadors is a great way to become an international piriah.

Why did he have the pager tho?

Hezbollah is a legitimate political party in Lebanon, with millions of voters.

Political parties don't launch rockets at neighborhoods..

Ambassador, communication device ...

[–] Avg@lemm.ee 7 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Communication with whom? These pagers were ordered by Hezbollah.

[–] interdimensionalmeme@lemmy.ml 13 points 6 months ago

Obviously for getting in touch with them. That's what ambassadors do. Anyway, doesn't matter, Israel will never have a use for ambassadors.

an eight-year-old girl was among those killed

And what was she doing with it? /s

[–] shikitohno@lemm.ee 9 points 6 months ago

It just says he was injured, which could happen if you were in close proximity to someone wearing one of the pagers. News here showed one of the explosions occurring in a grocery store, with plenty of people nearby, for example.

What was ambassador doing with Hezbollah exclusive pager?

[–] Bremmy@lemmy.ml 11 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Hezbollah exclusive? Were the walkie talkies Hezbollah exclusive? They are just devices with a specific function

[–] Ilgaz@lemm.ee 2 points 6 months ago

I refuse to answer such a stupid question.

Talk about working backwards from a conclusion. Can you do the same for the little girl that was also killed? I would be further impressed by your gymnastics to conclude she deserved it as well.
