Israel Launches strike against Irans Nuclear Programme

Al Jazeera not even reporting on the rockets over Qatar, seriously 🙄.

Oh wait I think it's pre-recorded

This base the Iranians firing missiles at - its called Al-Udeid airbase near Doha. As per BEEB - I think I heard him saying near 10k US troops there

That the airbase that was evacuated last week?

@TheValeyard which goes back to my point on this earlier:

One wonders is this one of those things they did in the Donalds 1st term when he assassinated that Iranian general(??). US and IRAN told each other where they were hitting so personel would be moved out before the event. This is a Face saving event for Iran knowing no US troops killed so no red line crossed

"Iranian state-run media announces the beginning of Operation “Basharat al-Fath” against U.S. bases in the Middle East."

can’t remember? Convenient. We’ll take your word for it, will we?

Sky News suggesting that the attack on the US airbase was coordinated with the Americans.

If true, it would suggest that the Iranians are boxing very clever and are not the out of control maniacs that the Zionists claim.

I have felt since Oct 7th that the Israelis had a playbook ready for Gaza awaiting a justification and it looks like there was a chapter on Iran in it as well.

Yip - its all a face saving show for Iran, directed by the Donald? Co-ordinated. So this should be about it and we can all move on from the weekends events.

Statement by the Iranian Armed Forces following the attack on the US base in Qatar:

"The Revolutionary Guards, in Operation Basharat Fateh, targeted the US Al-Udeid Air Base in Qatar with a devastating missile attack. This base is the headquarters of the Air Force and the largest asset of the US terrorist army in the West Asia region."

Continued: "The message of the decisive action of the sons of the nation in the armed forces is clear and explicit to the White House and its allies: The Islamic Republic of Iran, relying on God Almighty and relying on the faithful and famous people of Islamic Iran, will not leave its territorial integrity, sovereignty and national security unanswered under any circumstances. With the aggression of the American enemy, it became clear to everyone that the evil of the Zionists was an extension of the Americans' design. Accordingly, we would like to remind you that in this national defense, the US mobile military bases and targets in the region are not a point of strength, but a great weakness and the eye of the beholder of this war-mongering regime.On the eve of the month of Muharram, the month of mourning for the leader and leader of martyrs, Hazrat Abu Abdullah Al-Hussein (AS), we once again warn the enemies of Islamic Iran that the era of beating and facing is over and the will of the country's powerful and popular armed forces is that any repetition of mischief will lead to the acceleration of the collapse of the US military pillars in the region, their ignominious escape from West Asia, and the realization of the common aspiration of the Islamic Ummah and the freedom-loving nations of the world in eradicating the cancerous tumor of Zion.

Just shows how toothless Iran is these days.

Got a slap down from China over the Straits,

Bombs an abandoned US airbase,

Zero control over its airspace and suffering daily bombinga

The only way Iran get out of this is if they completely give up all ambition for nuclear capability and support for Hamas, Houthis, Hezbollah etc. Can't see that as anything other than a win for Israel, and also, a win for the world, more generally.

Next, free the oppressed women of Iran.

The “Law on Protecting the Family through the Promotion of the Culture of Chastity and Hijab”, which I haven't seen any of the Israel-haters comment on, is the most vile piece of legislation since Apartheid South Africa, and possibly worse.

It is just over six months old.

Their statement is pretty nuts to be fair
