Israel Launches strike against Irans Nuclear Programme

I understand them having the US by the short and curlies jew to lobby groups and I can understand Germany's position however how about everyone else?

South Korea is at war, there is no peace treaty between it and North Korea and the particular placing of their AA batteries on high rise buildings is a direct consequence of their "at war" status. Whilst the war may not be hot, it still breaks into border skirmish and artillery duels on occasion.

Indeed the proximity of Seoul to the border is one of the reasons that placing anti aircraft batteries on rooftops is part of their defensive tactics.

The current UK prime minister is only there because the Jewish lobby manufactured the ousting of the previous Labour leader.

It’s there for anyone to see. The weaponisation of antisemitism to remove someone whom the Zionist lobby could not control.

Let’s all pretend that the Israeli influence in western politics is one big, discredited, anti semitic conspiracy theory.

I know that the Americans were concerned about the effects of getting involved in another war in the Middle East - potential casualties and the impact on their own economy - but they and the Israelis would be able to defeat the Iranian forces without doing a full-scale invasion of Iran.

Interesting to see posters who defend Israel’s genocide in Gaza describing yet another sovereign country that Israel has attacked as “genocidal”.

Israel has been waging a proxy war and carrying out assassinations for decades.
The hypocrisy of this position is only matched by the hypocrisy of nuclear armed Israel attacking Iran who they have claimed were months away from a nuclear bomb for the last 20 years.
But the usual cheerleaders for Israel will support any and all actions against any and all other people.

The legacy of the US and UK in this whole mess is a total disgrace. They destroyed the embryo of a progressive state in Iran to retain control of their oil and installed a ficticious state in the region that has waged war with everyone within 1000km radius for almost 80yrs whilst being propped up with arms and money from it's deluded sugar daddy's.

… .

It's OK to be vocal against what Israel is doing in Gaza. It's OK to think Israel is a terrorist state.

But it's clear people let that guide their opinion on Iran.

There really is no need to defend Iran. It's a despotic, fundamentalist regime that places erasure of Israel top of the agenda.

They can all be bad guys.

Neither the US nor the UK were ever interested in nation building. It's all PR and waffle to dress old fashioned colonialism up as something respectable. We're just over here giving these heathens the benefit of civility.

They weren't in Afghanistan 5 mins before turning their attention to Iraq and its oil.

I think Israel rattled and crippled any fast response from Iran.

100 drones launched and then when they were all intercepted, 100 or so ballistic missiles. They seem to be scrambling to respond. It's a far cry from last Octobers response from Iran.

The first priority of Iran is preservation of the regime, the same as the first priority of Netanyahu is preservation of Netenyahu.
The lesson learned from Ukraine, North Korea, Libya over the past number of years is that the only leverage against the US and its proxies or other aggressive regimes is a nuclear deterrent.
Iran will be more determined than ever to possess that nuclear deterrent following the bad faith, fake negotiations with a president who unilaterally scrapped the existing agreement for political expediency.
Once Iran get the bomb, the Saudis will get the bomb. Then Azerbaijan, Turkey, Egypt, etc, until Israel will be facing a nuclear armed Muslim neighbourhood.
