Well the Zionists assassinated the last Israeli leader who wasn't opposed to a two state solution settlement.

There's secular Israeli's and Israeli citizens who identify as Palestinian who don't agree with their current government.

Perhaps the next coup could be there.

over 700 hundred lives lost in Iran since last week’s attack by Israel - for what - for whom?

Token strikes at Qatar today with everyone pre warned - for what - for whom.?

Meanwhile tho’ not new worthy today the brutality against the remaining Gazans continues and Ukraine is under nightly deadly attack -

It all stinks to high heaven and it’s not over yet-

Peace Mr Trump ???

It begins and ends with you, Netanyahu and Putin.

Akrasia

Trump is goading Iran now by calling their response weak and thanking them for giving the early warning.

The guy is trying to draw them into a full war.

Or they're testing him knowing that the US is running low on military stock replenishment since the Chinese export ban of refined rare earth materials.

Every cheap missile or drone Iran sends up costs 4 millions dollars to knock down. Cheap drones have made defense more expensive than attack.

Iran hasn't really being using drones to attack Israel as they not very effective over the distance.

The missiles Iran have been launching are between $3 million and $8 million each. Certainty not cheap.

Have you got a link for that as I posted a link to a Washington Post article yesterday here stating that a lot of the missiles that got through Iron dome cost only a million compared to the 4 million needed to counter.

Cheap drones can be used to used to hit the US bases in the gulf and were such an expensive threat for the US that they moved the fleet out of their range.

Maybe I'm being a tad optimistic but it seems there has been a degree of coordination in the US/Iran martial dance-steps over the past two days.

US bombs Iran's nuclear sites after giving 2 days advance notice, possibly whatever likely fissionable material in Iran's sites was taken for safety to another location before the B2 Bombers delivered their payload. Iran slow-responds by firing rockets at USAF bases in neighbouring Arab countries after giving the Govts of the countries advance notice, rockets shot down. Israel is then allowed hit up the approach routes to the bombed Iranian sites to make them impassable by road. Honour satisfied and no nuclear catastrophe. Trump even reduces the volume.

I wouldn't be too minded about negative headlines of what Trump said about the sites being destroyed. They are out of commission and he can advise the reporters to visit the sites for confirmation [if they choose to] given the nature of the produce of the sites.

eightieschewbaccy

Let's make it perfectly clear at this stage, Trump is a warmonger. He is not going to accomplish a regime change in Iran and historically the US attempting to do so tends to end badly. If he really wants to pursue putting troops on the ground that will go very badly for him.

Well as predicted

beggars_bush

USA suddenly realizing their assets in the middle east are very vulnerable

J Mysterio

Trump is such an idiot. Genuinely.

Frank Bullitt

Will he use this apparent "ceasefire" to claim he should win the peace prize again?

All Iran have to do now is offer him a jet.

Israel only gave him bronzed pagers.

I used to consider George W Bush to be the worst person ever to hold the office of President, but by Christ Trump has taken that mantle over the last 6 months.

What an utter, utter, shambles.

Trump took that title from George W during COVID. He's only making it certain he'll never be outdone now.
