Reports stating that Israel have launched an attack against Iran
Is there a chance that the Trump administration had very little involvement in all this and he’s just injecting himself into it for his usual narcissistic reasons?
The exiled son of Iran's deposed monarch has called for an uprising.
Reza Pahlavi told Iranians it was "the time to rise; the time to reclaim Iran" in a post on X.
"The regime’s apparatus of repression is falling apart. All it takes now is a nationwide uprising to put an end to this nightmare once and for all."
He called on the military and state security forces to stand "with the people" and "play a historic role in the transition from the Islamic Republic" to a democracy.
"The Islamic Republic has reached its end and is in the process of collapsing.
"[Ali] Khamenei, like a frightened rat, has gone into hiding underground and has lost control of the situation.
"What has begun is irreversible."
A lot of what is happening may just be sabre rattling by Trump i.e. he has no intention of getting involved in the Israeli war against Iran but is trying to convince them he is about to.
He's as bad as any dictator. The blood of tens of thousands of innocents on his hands.
Yeah, of course he ran as no wars etc. but I can’t see him turn down the opportunity for a “win”. Unless they are hiding their hand very well it looks like all Iran may have to offer is handbags at dawn. Let Israel do the leg work and then turn up at the finish to claim his medal.
Nothing in those links would hold a candle to what Israel has been doing to the Palestinians since 1948. Nothing.
Israel is a pariah state and a blot on the world map. War Criminals and Genociders. Starving the weakest i.e. the children, and sniping them as the queue for food. A total Pariah.
War crimes are committed by War Criminals and Israel's Government seems to be full of them. When you commit one it is easy to commit another and another. They are used to doing it now and as long as the US is there to defend that then they will continue.
trump is playing a very very dangerous game here, if he does approve the so called bunker busters then Iran will drive the price of oil and the world economy in to turmoil with retaliation. his own voter base don't give a **** about Israel,Iran but they sure as **** care about the price of eggs... going to get very interesting
Innocent until proven guilty, which he'll never be on the charges on which the ICC issued the warrant because that trial will never happen.
Sure, why would anyone give a damn about carrying out a few War Crimes and illegally annexing land? If Israel can do it, why can't we?
Nothing compared to the tyranny in Gaza by the Israelis. Surely nobody is dumb enough not to see the Israeli tyranny?
Looks like we've inbound missiles live now

Yet War Criminal Netanyahu and Gallant are to be lauded ?? Not to mention Ben Gvir and Smotdrich who want all Gazans dead. Moral compasses spinning.
They have a very nihilistic approach to geopolitics. "We are facing an existential threat and are justified in doing just about anything". Them having such extremist views is one thing, but why western governments and media are covering for an obvious terrorist and rogue state is inexplicable.
Iran is entitled to defend itself.
Wouldn't really call what I'm watching 'defending' themselves tbh. Defending yourself is either preventing or trying to stop attacks.
This is retaliation in response to Israel launching attacks at them. Retaliation is not defense. It's retaliation.
There's an International Arrest Warrant out for him. That's enough. I don't see him running to The Hague to clear himself.
I call it defending itself. You have to stand up to the Bully Boy of the region especially when it's big brother is standing behind it.
I've a feeling the whole middle east is going to kick off tonight....and for what? A country that doesn't even have a nuclear weapon.....the art of the deal folks!
Not sure I get your logic there?
So Israel is not defending itself either? Its retaliating?
And what would you call starving two million civilians in Gaza - is that defence or retaliation?
Ben-Gvir is a convicted terrorist.
Netanyahu is currently funding criminal gangs in Gaza after having supported the funding of Hamas for decades.
Morally bankrupt probably doesn't even come close to describing their MOs
rallying religous defiance from iran:
Citing a verse from the Qur’an, Ali Khamenei wrote:
Help from Allah and an imminent conquest” (Holy Quran: 61:13).
The Islamic Republic will triumph over the Zionist regime by the will of God.”
Yet it is Iran that has been under sanction for years, Israel not so much.
Again, you are utterly ignorant, blinded by hatred. One wonders why, but some can guess.
B2 bombers are fueling up, according to reports.. We will see soon enough what will happen there.
It's an unwinnable war. Another Iraq.
Tankers are already up.
Let's see if other sources pick up on this
Israel is entitled to defend itself therefore from Hamas. Dont you agree? ;)
It's very simple English.
When Israel launched the initial missiles at Iran, it attacked Iran.
When Iran fires missiles back at Israel, it is retaliating to Israel's attack.
None of this is defense. Defence is what the likes of Iron Dome is doing, shooting down an attack wave to defend targets.
As an aside, starving two million people in Gaza is IMO a genocide, I thought that was fairly obvious. (And had absolutely nothing to do with what I was posting, other than you trying to score points with the 'I hate Israel' crowd)
Nah, most of the Middle East will be delighted that Iran has been taken down a peg or a few dozen. They have very little friends in the region.
Saudi Arabia is the big winner's here.
