Israel Launches strike against Irans Nuclear Programme

Israel at the UN are a fecking parody, how any country can entertain these frauds is laughable and a real stain on those countries.

The Israeli ambassador, in his following remarks, accused Iran of having a “genocidal agenda,”

There's a reason why Israel have been fighting for years to have the UN's definition of anti-semitism altered. They want the term 'genocide' to exist only when it refers to them as the victims of it

Yes its double standards. but all the American politicans don't want to criticize Israel for fear of losing the Jewish vote Trump won' the election by a few per cent. Plus an awful lot of writers journalists editors are Jewish Jews are very prominent in media journalism and Hollywood company's

The IDF is happy to bomb hospitals and kill aid workers or peaceful protestors there's extremists on both sides of this war

Not this nonsense argument again.

I think that's because Israel wants to keep going and completely destroy Iran, not that the war is suddenly going horribly.

We all see the missile strikes on Israel, but they're not achieving much and causing minimal casualties - at least, not at the moment, but Iran's ability to launch large-scale attacks seems to be rapidly dwindling.

The widespread availability of these videos from Israel, and relatively none from Iran, is causing confirmation bias.

What we don't see as much of, because of lockdown in Iran, is the damage Israel is doing there. Air defenses, strategic sites, launchers, production facilities, nuclear facilities leadership targets, etc - Israel is hitting them extremely hard.

All Iran has is ballistic missiles, and they've achieved nothing so far in terms of strategic or military value. They don't have an air force, they don't have air defenses that can challenge the Israeli air force.

Israel might consider the war a "failure" if they can't deliver a knockout blow to Iran's nuclear capability, or regime, but from a purely conventional war point of view, Israel as of today is completely dominant.

It isn't or was never going to be 'international opinion be damned' they knew they had the support of the US, the UK, France etc. and key leaders like Von der Leyen in the EU, even bloody Zelensky has been complicit much to his shame! Israel has ignored the UN for decades with no consequences, they slaughtered Palestinians in 2014, they've systematically robbed their land and homes and nothing has stopped them. October 7 much like 9/11 was for those in US behind the project for the new America century (Bush, Rumsfeld, Cheney etc) - provided an opportunity to go further than previously they dared, exploiting the event for their own nefarious ends - those war criminals faced no consequences and Netanyhau isn't likely to either - friends of the West never do - Thatcher worked tirelessly to keep Pinochet out of prison!!

The world watched while Blair and Bush slaughtered the children of Iraq and Afghanistan and the world watches while Israel slaughters the children of Gaza and takes pot shots at the children of Iran, Yemen, the West Bank and Lebanon.

They don't have to. Iranian land forces are irrelevant in this conflict. As are Israeli land forces. Or naval forces for that matter.

Israel could never, would never want to, invade Iran. It would be logistically and logically impossible.

The two countries are 2,000km apart.

Israel's already destroyed its air defenses, Iran's airforce is inactive, and Israel is dismantling their missile facilities and launchers, and attacking nuclear infrastructure - Iran can do nothing to counter any of it.

Israel can destroy Iran's military where it counts, and it is doing so.

When I say "destroy Iran", I don't mean destroy the country or its military. I mean destroy its ability to wage any sort of long range war against Israel.

The war on Iran started by Israel, yet again has seen mission creep. In the space of a week the war goals have ranged from ending Iran’s nuclear program to killing the Ayatollah, to regime change, involving installing the son of the last Shah as puppet ruler.

Can Air Power alone achieve these Israeli war goals in Iran. A country more than a million square kilometres larger than Ukraine?

We have the same war hawks on boards who predicted Hamas would be defeated in weeks once the IDF invaded Gaza and the famous Summer in Crimea predictions of 2 years ago.
Many posters are just parroting already biased opinions which suit their hoped for narrative rather than being an objective analysis, as far as that is even possible given that information on Iranian missiles and Israeli interceptors is not publicly known.
For those focusing on the Iranian supply of weapons to Russia. Was there outrage when the west was supplying weapons to Saddam Hussein to kill Iranians and chemical weapons to kill the Kurds.

Because of the pre meditated attack by Israel, air defence systems and anti drone missiles are being diverted from Ukraine to protect Israel from the war they started.
There is a huge double standard as usual when it comes to the behaviour of western powers versus non western powers.
Many are happy to condemn Iran for supplying weapons to a country undertaking an illegal invasion but are supportive of western countries who have supplied weapons for illegal invasions or who have undertaken illegal invasions themselves.

Don't disagree with any of this though always important to point out that Israel can only do what they do with the military hardware, money and political support of the US, the UK and the EU.

Not sure how alarm bells aren't ringing with Israel's supporters when the IDF are now saying the war could go on for months : as recently as Tuesday they claimed the war would be over 'in a week or two'.

No, but that's what they want the US dragged into it for. Better US troops die than Israeli.
