Israel Launches strike against Irans Nuclear Programme

Ffs

1. Complete break down in Iranian military control
2. Israeli operatives launched it to allow Israel bomb some more
3. Iran are lying
4. ?

Iran is definitely a terrorist state and responsible for much illegal activity and sponsoring acts of terror in the region. But Israel is easily the biggest terrorist state in the Middle East and main threat to peace and stability in the area - not to mention its full blown genocide of civilians in Gaza.

Still banging the women drum! The slaughtered women of Gaza, the limbless girls, the starving babies I'm sure would appreciate your condemnation of Iran but be a bit perplexed at your myopia when it comes to Israel and their terrorist supporting ally in the US.

Their treatment of women and minorities does not somehow absolve Israels actions. Both regimes are awful, both have funded terrorist organisations to their own end. The real concern here is;

1. Netanyahu and co. started this war purely for cynical reasons and to draw attention away from Gaza and to save their asses domestically
2. Israel have continued to break diplomatic norms with impunity, in fact with explicit support from the west
3. Iran are largely useless, however, continued attacks could eventually result in an increase of terror attacks across the west
4. If a power vacuum occurs in Iran, then you have a very well armed Taliban to the east with the potential destabilisation of the region, based solely on the Israelis government wanting a distraction
5. The US could very easily get sucked into a ground war with this

One that I largely don't care about but I'm sure bothers some is the fact that China will have an opportunity to increase influence in the region. Possibly ousting Russian influence, as the Russians have been proven to fall short of expectation too.

One thing I've noticed about the news coverage of all this is all the grandstanding of how the US is unmatched, militarily exceptional and whatever else. Completely ignoring the spectre of Chinese expansion, where in my opinion, should the two end up in a war, China is a completely different animal to Russia and Iran. If Iran start getting Chinese weapons in exchange for energy guarantees, then what? If Israel continues to bomb Iran and has a significant impact on their energy output, what will the Chinese response be?

It's not as simple as "bUt ThEy FuNd TeRrOrIsTs! ThE wImMiN!"

The portrayal on these pages of Iran as some innocent victim of nasty Israel is disgusting.

I agree with you about China. China is the biggest winner of all this. If there is regime change in Iran, I expect a new regime to develop extensive closer relationships with China. Oil for infrastructure and economic growth.

A new Iran won't necessarily open to the world but it would open to China. Targetting the rising Chinese middle income groups for tourism is one way of earning foreign currency.

Of course Israel is a bad actor in the region, I can't think of any good actors in the region.

The mess of Syria, the Taliban, the slave regimes of the UAE, Saudi and the Emirates.

Whilst I agree with this even if Israel sat on their hands the Middle East would still be an environment for future terrorists. A fantasy to think otherwise.

Definitely not happy

Its time for America to leave them at it now.

and us!!

Had to watch this a few times, thought it may be fake or AI. Bloomberg just saying Trump has great energy and he doesn't sleep much. He deffo didn't get a good night's sleep last night. He must be at the end of his rag dealing with all this..

That wet fart sound as it speaks

That’s the sound of the Nobel prize flying away
