US/Israel conduct airstrikes on Iran again

well, you are one of the much more logic-based and balanced based posters when discussing these conflicts that Israel are involved in.

Forty years of talking about Iran having a nuclear weapons and they have had one all along, just by being able to shut down the flow of 35% the worlds fertilizer production, 20% of oil and 20% of LNG in a couple of days. Bombing apartment buildings and killing leaders is not going to change that.

The amazing thing is everyone knew this could happen and now they panic and don't know what to do.

Not really that it could happen, The Iranians have said for years exactly what would happen.

The problem now is, The Iranians do not have to let up and if commentary coming out of Iran is to believed, they won't.

With it being an election year in America, the quite obvious thing for the Iranians to do is to continue this, front load the pain so lessons are learned against future attacks.

This attack was an own goal of epic proportions which will have ramifications for decades.

But to your original point, all this was known.

You need to scroll down to see the whole post. He is a senator from Connecticut who attended a two hour hearing yesterday behind closed doors on how things are going

Yes, every post from "some" posters…..not dmconda….very easy to understand when you read properly.

I don't know of off ramps.... the flow of aircraft and kit into the UK suggests the opposite..

First bomber ops from Fairford was last night.

Any figure given for those who died in Iran in the January protests that come from Western media can be disregarded and treated as bull poop. The Zionists on this thread are only to eager to latch onto these reports to confirm their belief that the 'regime' in Iran is evil.

Their is a truly evil 'regime' in the middle east and it's Israel. It is a terrorist state and the quicker it is dismantled and the land returned to the Palestinian people and those Jews willing to disavow Zionism the better. Israel has tortured and tormented the Palestinian people since 1948. Gaza being the latest in a long line of human rights catastrophies wrought on Palestine by the Jews. I say Jews as Israel is made of up Jews and Arabs.

Iran is winning this war as judged by the US/Israel not achieving it's aim of regime change so far and nor will they. Iran is now in an incredible position of strength and can set the terms for the cessation of violence. Whatever misgivings the Iranian people might have around their government they are rallying around to defend their homeland. Trump is making George W look like an intellectual giant.

Sounds like the plan is / was to destroy Iran's ability to defend itself or attack others, which it had previously only done once in the past two centuries and that was last year when Israel attacked them. Oh, and the time before that after Israel blew it's embassy up in Syria, but that was just a day thing.

America and the west sticking our snouts into the affairs of the middle east for decades has always been the real issue. Leave these countries alone to sort their issues and differences. This current attack sorts nothing. It only makes the world even more dangerous

Yes, but Iran (and rightly so) will see any country here as a part of it; just because they are not firing at Iran doesn't mean Iran will think them off limits…..guilt by association….have to remember, Iran is being blasted…..if Iran feel countries in areas with bases aligned to the West/U.S. and Israel, then they are fair game!

I'm done dealing with bad faith posters.

Guilt by association is a slippery slope, no?

Before you know it Israel can use to justify their genocide in Gaza and Russia use it to justify their Three Day War

Putting aside that it rips up international order and laws, something that we who live in a neutral country with no military very much need, at this rate Iran can carry out terror attacks here and there be people cheering for it saying “sure guilt by association, shouldn’t have let em Americans do business here”

Thanks for proving my point that it only a matter of time before more innocent people are murdered in neutral countries and some will just clap along saying it’s deserved

Do you not realise that all the countries in the world are interlinked geopolitically? Even “neutral” Ireland plays its part. Neutral Switzerland is basically the world bank in all but name. And is never attacked because it has the most robust defences in the world. Using their natural topography.

As for the Middle East. There is a complex mix of geopolitical alliances and foes. I view it like tight hip flexor muscles if one flares up all the others feel referred pain. They are well used to it unfortunately.
