US/Israel conduct airstrikes on Iran again

Didn’t stop you making accusations that I’m a trumpist only a few posts up despite not a single one of my posts supporting him and being quite the opposite

There is clearly an overlap between the far left and the far right on many issues, and this is exposed the moment they start supporting and defending deplorable regimes and their actions

Of the small number of Iranian female acquaintances I’ve had, only one went conservative and took to the hijab. The rest seem to enjoy their freedom in the West and dress to the nines. Muslim women from Arab countries and Pakistan are more of a mixed picture. The more Westernized are often from ethnic minorities, eg Kurdish, Circassian.

Historically Iran hasn't sought to have nuclear bombs. It goes against their theoracy. But the attack by Israel last year may have signalled a change in policy one which might be followed through with when Ali Khamenei dies. Iran should have nuclear weapons as Israel represents a live threat to it's security. They want to denude Iran of it's ability to defend itself and then turn Iran into many constituent parts ala Yugoslavia.

Israel is a terrorist state and represents a danger to world peace. What's they done in Gaza is unconscionable. Netanyahu sees Trump as his last chance to have his war with Iran with the U.S doing the heavy lifting. He knows the Zionist lobby in the U.S. is losing ground at a pace.

Not looking good for peace if MoA is correct.

Looks like the UK will assist the slaughter. Hopefully the USA/ Israel won't use nuclear weapons.

The list of demands by the US is insane. No country could possibly agree to them - almost being issued with an ultimatum to permanently demilitarise themselves (and with very little evidence they have any plans to attack Israel or the US).

They’ve already suffered multiple assassinations at the hands of the Israelis and Americans. They’d be daft to disarm completely.

Proxies, missiles and human rights seem to off the list of American demands. The nuclear program is the crux of the matter.

Trump missed an opportunity to articulate in detail what his key goals with Iran are in the SOTU speech this week which is odd. He merely reiterated that they can’t have a nuclear weapon. He has not sought to persuade his voters that military action may be necessary.

Ukraine did get rid of all its nuclear weapons only to be invaded by allies of Iran

with hundreds of Iranian drones flying all over the country night after night

Iran won’t get rid of its nuclear weapons because they wanted and contributed to a world where laws and treaties don’t matter and might is right

Says the guy who instead of debating chose to call me Trumpist when all my posts clearly hate the deplorable

In reply to a post of mine

1. Discussing current events in a current affairs forum {not history forum} that Iranian killed 36000 of its own people protesting said regime this year alone, something the far left is hell bent on suppressing and excusing or even discussing
2. Pointing out Iranian regime armed and enabled their ally in their colonial war of conquest, yet another crime the far left wants to distract and downplay as it highlights their hypocrisy
3. Exploring the thesis that Iranian regime wanted a world without laws where might is right with their Axis of whatever, only for that leopard to turn around and eat their faces

here you are again trying to draw people on a whataboutery historical tangent and depart from discussion of current events

A big worry is will Israel use atomic bombs against Iran. I expect Iran to hit Israel hard this time if it does kick off with the U.S. I think the strikes by the American's will happen this weekend. I think the pressure on Trump to attack is too great for him to resist. I see the negotiations as a charade. Both Kuschner and Witkoff are property developers not negotiators. I see it as a time buying exercise by the Americans who have proved not to be good faith actors in negotiations.

Yes. These talks were just a smokescreen till the US got all of its assets in place. I suspect the Americans will be looking to bring a swift end to any conflict by launching a decapitation strike against the entire military and political leadership of Iran. If they do manage to achieve their aim then it would indicate Mossad and the CIA still have well placed assets inside Iran.

If the Ayatollah is killed, it will be very interesting to see what Al - Sistani in Iraq does. As you hint there could a massive uprising among the Shia sect throughout the region

I talk about Qatar and Afghanistan on the topic of which countries we should play sport against. That you think that thread is purely about Israel is down to your narrow-minded narrow-focussed obsession.
