Reports stating that Israel have launched an attack against Iran
I think they are also attacking the Gulf states in order to try and inflict enough economic pain so that they and those around Donnie will put pressure on him to seek an off ramp. What seems clear is the Iranian President is not in charge now, it's clearly the Revolutionary Guards after the death of Ayatollah Khamenei
He is just that f*cking thick! There was no thought given to the possibility of retaliatory strikes by Iran, or indeed consequences for US personnel. I’m still trying to get an independent source, but several social media accounts that I consider to be reliable have stated that the US have stopped all maternity services at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany in order to free up capacity at the facility. That shows you just how little forethought went into this attack.
Just to clarify, Landstuhl offers this services because it also acts as a the hospital for Kaiserslautern Military Community, which includes Ramstein Airbase, so there are plenty of dependents there that rely on those services. I guess those dependents will now have to deal with the horrors of Germany’s “socialist” healthcare system (yes, that was sarcasm!)
Trump saying the Iranian's beheaded babies and cut women in half. Maybe he is having flashbacks from the island or something. Sound's like not the most trustworthy person to listen to when even his pal gives his damning thoughts on his character
Just like the babies in the incubators in Kuwait from Iraq War 1 all bullshite. I really can’t believe people believe this shitè.
As I said last night, the endless lying is astonishing.
I've seen multiple similar reports and a former colleague working in Rammstein as a contractor has confirmed same to me. There was also a very short lived as for a "Personal Effects return coordinator" that apparently was active for short while. There's IMHO zero possibility that the US have taken the hits to the radars, SATCOM & other facilities that have been reported & confirmed with only the 8 or so casualties so far reported. The damage confirmed and the casualties reported via US & Israeli officialdom just don't tally.

iran now threatening to target and take out oil infrastructure throughout the gulf if israel keeps hitting their oil - comments implied keep playing this game if you want to see oil at 200 dollars a barrell
Your understanding is incorrect. Iran is targeting civilian infrastructure all over the Gulf States.
Why would the US be worried about a few random missiles getting through? Most are getting intercepted. Iran's response has been pathetic and absolutely nothing in comparison to the damage they are taking.
The US and Israel will continue attacking until their objectives are met. There is nothing Iran can do about it.

Iran's response has been pathetic
Go for a walk and look at up at the forecourt prices.
The pressure to end the attack will ramp up in the next fortnight.
What objectives?
Israeli hegemony.
Idk if this is true or not but Israel would love for this to get more out of hand so it wouldn’t surprise me if they’re sh*t stirring
The United Arab Emirates has rejected reports in Hebrew media claiming the United Arab Emirates carried out a strike in Iran.
A senior UAE official tells our lead world news presenter Yalda Hakim "Israel should be very careful about spreading fake news".
The reports cited anonymous Israeli officials as saying the UAE had struck a desalination plant in Iran.
Funny, it looks like the only desalination plants being attacked, are being attacked by Iran.

Pretty clear who the good and bad actors in all of this are …
Cribbons! Who are the good actors?
I'll just get a pencil….
I think the bad guys are those killing civilians. So that would include all three players in this conflict. Have to be something wrong with someone if they find themselves on the side of Bibi.
Cross posting this from the Trump thread.
Footage surfacing of the strikes in Minab confirms the weapons used were Tomahawks. So 100% a US strike. Bad enough they struck a school, what's worse?
Is that it was hit again 40 minutes after 1st strike, a classic double tap and one that given it was children initially targeted? Was solely targeted at the rescue services.
Zionist tactics seem to have been adopted by the US as a matter of course at this point.

The UAE have been quite strident in their denial of any offensive action against Iran so far. The persistent claim is that the attack on the Qeshm Island desalination plant was via a PrSM missile, launched by the US Army from NSA Bahrain. An effort by the US to invite Iranian retaliation against the most important facilities for life in the Gulf, the water infrastructure.
Any thoughts on school children being murdered? And I don't mean some glib dismissal either.
One side a theocracy that suppresses rights, on the other the Epstein class that likes to either rape kids or incinerate them
there’s no evidence that any side deliberately targeted schoolchildren…
So the "most moral army in the world" dropped bombs on a school accidently? Look at yourself in the mirror man, seriously.
Trump's US is not a good actor. Netanyahu and Israel are not good actors. The Ayatollah was not a good actor. The Iranian dictatorship is not a good actor.
Who is left? Maybe the Arab states who didn't ask for all this war and chaos to be unleashed on them? The Iranian public?
Both of them are almost powerless in this situation though IMO.
Trump and Hegseth should have stayed as "actors" of sorts (on reality TV/Fox News), we'd all be safer in our beds.
Iran are attacking those that attack it or do you really think those that attack Iran should get a free pass?
The point is that Iran - like its ally Russia - is not confining its attacks to legitimate military targets. Unless you're claiming that hotels, apartment blocks and water treatment plants are legitimate military targets. In which case you are no better than Tucker Carlson.
And I will give the US/Israel's detractors one thing - CRINKs penchant for murdering civilians and attacking civilian infrastructure is something they (Israel and the US) should have given more consideration to.
And America and Israel are targeting civilian infrastructure all over Iran and Lebanon to say the least.
Funny? You mean inaccurate. One was attacked in Iran yesterday and they said they’d respond in kind. Both of those actions should be condemned.
I’m struggling here, who are the good actors? The man with an international arrest warrant issued for war crimes, is he the good actor? Trump, part of Epstein gang and a life full of thuggery or the Iranian government? Please tell who you class as good out of this group and we will know how seriously to take your future posts. Thanks.
Iran have more drones and missiles to fire then the US, Israel and gulf states have interceptors to defend against. It has been widely reported that the gulf states will run out of means to intercept in less than a week now and the US is pulling patriot systems and more out of South Korea . It's whoever can last the longest and my money is on Iran. Numbers don't lie
china looks unsettled by trumps plan or lack thereof for war in iran
