Israel Launches strike against Irans Nuclear Programme

US president Donald Trump has said that Iran has “reached out” and “wants to negotiate”.

He is currently maintaining strategic ambiguity on whether he will join Israeli campaign...

There have even been planes that crashed while carrying nukes, but in none of these incidents did the bomb ever detonate (obviously, we'd have likely known about it in that case).

While not impossible for a nuclear bomb to detonate accidentally, the probability becomes vanishingly small once failsafes are applied.

I’m not sure Trump’s unique brand of online diplomacy is helping here. Iran’s response:

No Iranian official has ever asked to grovel at the gates of the White House. The only thing more despicable than his lies is his cowardly threat to “take out” Iran’s Supreme Leader.Iran does NOT negotiate under duress, shall NOT accept peace under duress, and certainly NOT with a has-been warmonger clinging to relevance.Iran shall respond to any threat with a counter-threat, and to any action with reciprocal measures.

Most democracies are good for their neighbours and anybody living within territory they control for that matter.

How is Israel good for its neighbours? The US as a democracy has instigated coups in many countries even bringing down other democracies. Democracies are generally better countries, no doubt, but it shouldnt be used as an excuse when democracies commit war crimes.

1: Hit that facility from the air and there's a partially assembled weapon that's destroyed then you potentially have a major contamination problem that the US is obligated to go in and fix.

Obligated by whom? If that happens, it just proves that the US and Israel were correct to target Iran.

2: Hit that facility from the air and there's a fully assembled weapon that detonates, you could start WW3.

Again, with whom?

That site is in the middle of nowhere, up in a mountain. If the Iran have been lying to the world all this time and the US inadvertently set off a nuke, who is to blame really? It would just prove the point for Trump and Bibi.

They took delivery of 20 of them in 2011, but it's believed they have more. Enough to do the job anyway, it seems.

Double post.

I wouldn't call it profound at all. I would say your post suggests you're angry and annoyed that people don't share your opinion.

No-one here can shut you down. You're free to post whatever you want, but it's incredibly naive to expect that everyone should hold a collective opinion?

People are entitled to believe that Iran has been peacefully minding its own business before it was attacked with zero provocation by Israel.

People are also entitled to think that's completely untrue and not based in reality.

People are entitled to believe various other things in between.

Anything you've said could be levelled at posters of all opinions and sides on this thread. It's certainly not exclusive to any one set of opinions but you seem to think it is.
