US/Israel conduct airstrikes on Iran again

Looking like the decision to strike has been made… been a few flights of US kit to Israeli airbases, and the movement of F-22's to the region with more on the way.

I am sorry, I don't know what planet you are living on, and who you are in contact with in Iran.

New laws are being put in place to increase the penalties on women who don't wear the hijab in public. The situation of women and girls in Iran continues to deteriorate. The UN has been clear on this.

They are talking about the country with a clandestine nuclear program which has recently killed thousands of civilians.

As the journalist says, “we don’t have to convince anyone”.

They were in two suitcases not diplomatic bags, did you watch the video ?

Besides the Netherlands have the same law for security screening.

The Jewish lobby in the U.S. wants Trump to go to war with Iran. Trump's worst nightmare is unfolding. His bluster and assembly of military might hasn't cowed Iran into submission. It was the lobby who contributed huge money to his election campaign.

If Israel is allowed nuclear weapons then so should Iran. That door swings both ways. It is a safeguard again Jewish hegemony in the M/East along with their arsenal of ballistic missiles. The best path to peace in the M/East is for the Israeli's to understand that the Palestinian people are not going anywhere and are entitled to be treated with respect. This is something Israel has not done since it was founded back in 1948 on Palestinian land.

The Palestinians have been treated appallingly by Israel between human rights abuses, mass murder and land grabs. The greatest promotor of 'anti semitism' is the actions of Israel. Israel is ultimately it's own worst enemy and has put it's very existence in real peril.

Ultimately I think Trump is going to end up having to go to war with Israel. He is Bibi's bitch and what Bibi wants Bibi gets.

Diplomatic bag is a colloquial name for it. When the US bring in the mobile secure room for the President, it comes in "diplomatic bags", which are actually equipment on pallets.

As was mentioned, this was a significant detour from diplomatic norms.

More on the many children of the regime living in the West. It says a lot that at the same time you’re denouncing the Great Satan you’re sending your kids to these godless places.

The risk is that we may find the truth out very soon about whether Israel has nuclear weapons - maybe western imperialist democracies will say if they only knew!

I don't think Iran is perfect. Our Iranian friends were lovely but I'm sure there's people there doing unpleasant things too..

Maybe if Iran wasn't surrounded by the USA, under sanctions and constant threat of attack things might be different. Suggesting I live in a different planet is a bit rude, I don't see the need to be so offensive.

I worked in the USA too and a lot of nice people there but that doesn't excuse the evil being perpetrated in the middle East by them and it needs to be called out imho.

I think there is in Exodus and elsewhere but I wouldn’t be the person to ask what it means. The thing is that government ministers punish Iranians at home for trying to do what their children are doing abroad. I would expect to see a public break with the parents at the very least as I would with Russian nepo babies in our midst. In both cases the kids are often benefiting from money from the home country which implicates them in corruption too.

Whatever one thinks about the the build-up to the Iraq war, the Bush administration at least tried to make a case for it. This Trump adventure against Iran seems to have nobody steering the ship and is doubly odd given Trump’s long hostility to ME wars. Meanwhile the Dems are confused and divided despite the clear hostility of their voters to more wars of choice.
