Israel Launches strike against Irans Nuclear Programme

Iran just launched one of it's latest ICBM missiles which is very similar to the Russian Oreshnik

I don't need the condescending history lesson, I'm well aware of the facts. It's about the cynicism, the lies, the contempt for people of different ethnicity or religion, Netenyahu and his gang of thugs are not far off the worst criminals of the 20th century in their approach, and the IDF are murdering Palestinians women and children just as gleefully as the Germans murdered Jews in their day, and the Israeli people are as complicit as the German population war. A pathologically ill nation obsessed with revenge and war

How long between launch and impact?

Its one of the core rules of boards.ie to stick to the topic. There is another thread related to Gaza.

This is not that hard to follow. But for some it appears rather hard.

Mod - warned for back seat moderation

Grossi also pointed out that Iran is the only non-nuclear armed country in the world with that level of enriched Uranium.

They weren't building it up for absolutely nothing and there's no civilian application. EDIT: No civilian application for the sheer quantity I mean.

So while I can accept Iran isn't or wasn't building a bomb right now, it's also perfectly reasonable to say they were clearly eyeing that pathway.

Trump on iran tonight:

he again looks for "unconditional surrender" and says "then we go blow up all the nuclear stuff" (presumably post surrender)

"for 40 years they have been saying death to America, death to Israel, death to anybody else that they didnt like"

'they were school yard bullies"

Bibi was pushing the same lies about IRAQ's WMD too. Katz was recently bragging that the Iraq war was really fought for Israel. We also have the US intelligence community saying in their latest assessment they don't believe Iran has a weapons programme. I would trust the opinion of US Intelligence over that of a serial and corrupt liar like Bibi. Yet we have posters quite happy to just parrot whatever he says. You can be sure most of them believed the lies about Iraq's WMD too.

It really isn’t.

They're not worried about how things will go for them without US involvement. They're worried that without US involvement they'll lose a once-in-a-generation chance to topple the regime and destroy it once and for all.

The current conflict itself is already lost for Iran without US intervention.

But Israel probably doesn't have the means to achieve what it would consider a decisive end to a near 50-year proxy war, eg complete, blanket destruction of the nuclear programme or toppling of the regime.

Bannon was saying it will split maga if Trump does take America into the war. So much for Donnie not wanting to be involved in foreign wars.

As long as Iran continues to fund proxy groups to attack and destablise Israel and publicly shouts about the destruction of Israel, Israel will consider it a threat and treat it as same.

If the Iranian regime survives it will be interesting to see what approach they will take after suffering such a crippling defeat.

Maybe they'll quieten down and consider other pathways for their wellbeing and the wellbeing of their country. Maybe not.

I mean the Eyptian public generally hate Israel, but Israel and its neighbor Egypt have had peace for 40+ years. Iran's fight with Israel is a problem of its own making.
