US/Israel conduct airstrikes on Iran again

Losing an aircraft or two out of thousands of sorties flown does no way indicate that an actor doesn't have air superiority. That's the same as stating that NATO didn't control the skies at the time that F-117 Nighthawk was shot down over the former Yugoslavia.

Yes it can affect the aura of a new piece of kit but tbh the B2's, F-22's, F-35's, B-1's etc. Have all been operating freely in the theatre.

In anycase, let's hope that this s**tshow from all sides ends in the very near future. It reminds us of the chest-beating antics ahead of WW1.

Hamas pursued a strategy that led to Gaza being destroyed but people on here blame Israel. If the desalination plants are attacked by Iran, that's on Iran, nobody else.

It is not self-defence to eliminate the water supply.

Interesting that you mention WWI, which wasn't supposed to happen because all sides were supposedly equally armed.

This war is happening because a convicted sex offender wanted another dopamine hit by attacking a country that he thought would roll over.

BTW, it seems an F15 has been now be hit, although it has yet to be confirmed by a few sources.

However up to this point the vast majority of in flight losses have been friendly fire and accidents, no doubt made more likely by lack of planning and coordination.

BTW, I can Trump losing interest, but by no means can I see Iran accepting a US/Israeli peace considering they attacked a nations head of state as negotiations to avoid war were occurring.

Wanted war criminal crying for help

'Iran endangers entire world': Netanyahu calls on international leaders to 'join up' for fighting

Benjamin Netanyahu has said it is time for world leaders to "join up" with US-Israeli operations against Iran.

"I'm happy to say that I can see some of them beginning to move in that direction, but more is needed," Israel's prime minister said in comments shared on social media.

Visiting the site of an Iranian strike on Arad in southern Israel, Netanyahu said the attack was "proof" that Iran has to be stopped and that it "endangers the entire world".

No one was killed in the attack, he confirmed, but he added the attack had "targeted a civilian area".

Wanted war criminal gives order to demolish homes

Israel will destroy Lebanese homes in frontline villages, defence minister says

The Israeli military has been instructed to demolish homes in frontline villages in Lebanon, Israel's defence minister has said.

Israel Katz said he and Benjamin Netanyahu gave the order to end threats to ‌Israeli communities in the region.

The military was also told to ‌immediately destroy all bridges over Lebanon's Litani ⁠river that were being used ​by Hezbollah for "terrorist activity", he said.

More than a million people are estimated to have been displaced in Lebanon due to evacuation orders by the Israeli military and its operations against Hezbollah in the country.

Agreed. It also has shown the world the dangers of being tied at the hip with the US. And how there is a price to pay for that. So there are clear reasons that Iran have engaged in that strategy. It may pay off, it may not, that remains to be seen. Of course most posters can see and understand that logic. It is bizarre to see posters who merely explain that strategy being accused of supporting it.

That other poster has a complete blind spot when it comes to this. Their anger at the strategy means they refuse to even try to understand it. Instead continuously engaging in hopeful hyperbole about how it was a mistake of catastrophic proportions, as if saying it often enough makes it true.

We can all detest the tactics of Hamas. But any country that treats another country the way Israel treats Palestine, there will always be a Hamas.

The sheer hypocrisy of that bastard complaining that Iran "targeted a civilian area", after what he's done over the last two and a half years alone.

What is going on here!?.You seem to be essentially waving away Israeli war crimes here as the fault of Hamas. Yet you would be outraged if someone tried to justify war crimes by Iran on the same basis that the Israelis and Americans made them do it

Anybody know when the "Board of Peace" meets next?

Somebody needs to ask Trump that question.

Perhaps Iran will agree to open the strait if they get a ceasefire. Isn't Trump sending a marine force there thst is still to arrive?

Just so messy trying to negotiate with a narcissist like Trump

yet Israel did exactly that to the Palestinians
