US/Israel conduct airstrikes on Iran again

Trump is probably speaking to the exiled opposition person

Translated

"Trump's shift in tone from "regime" to "the country of Iran" (THE COUNTRY OF IRAN) in his latest tweet is no coincidence. When he speaks of "constructive dialogue" while the Islamic Republic categorically denies any negotiations, it means the seat across the table in Washington doesn't belong to the current officials.What's fascinating is that the order to halt attacks on power plants aligns precisely with Prince Reza Pahlavi's recent request (protecting national infrastructure and focusing on the hard core of power). This five-day pause in attacks carries the scent of an agreement with alternative forces and the opposition."

Any nuclear deal should include Israel giving up its nukes, they are far to violent and unstable to be allowed hold nukes.

If Iran didn't fire on Diego Garcia, then who did?

We have been hearing propaganda from Iran about 31 divisional commanders with sealed orders who can't be recalled because the central leadership is dead. If that is true, then the attack could have been one of them going rogue and beyond their orders and the centre wouldn't know and the claim they are not responsible is a lie.

If it is untrue about the 31 divisional commanders being autonomous, then that is a lie.

Given two mutually incompatible statements, you cannot claim Iran are being open.

Saudi, Qatar, UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain don't want to be in the same situation in a few months time so they are never going to let Iran control the Straits of Hormuz ever again.

On the point of Iran being one of the most egregious human rights abusers in the world, I had a look at the Freedom Index.

Interesting.

It's all just one massive grift.

Ireland is a neutral country, in that we don't actively participate in other nations wars. That doesn't and shouldn't stop us from having and voicing our feelings, opinions and objections to those wars. Which often gets a certain type flustered and then they start wanging on about our President "overstepping the mark", talking shite about "far lefties" and other such bollocks.

It also doesn't mean that our situation regarding Shannon stop overs doesn't potentially put us in a dodgy position either. What happens at Shannon is, essentially, a gentleman's agreement (primarily with the US, entered into after 9/11) that whatever military aircraft stops there observes our requests and isn't carrying munitions, are not involved in military exercises and aren't on route to an active war zone.

The thing is these aircraft are only very rarely subject to inspections (I don't even think we check the manifests) and we don't track their onward passage either, so we actually have no idea where these planes and equipment are going once they leave our airspace. Really all we have is "trust me bro".

And we shouldn't pretend that any country follows all the agreements they've made when they're at war.

This can, potentially, put us (or at least Shannon) at risk if a country at war has intelligence to show that an aircraft that stopped and refuelled at Shannon was enroute to active ops against them. Because it would mean that they could attack aircraft or the facilities there.

We continue to play a precarious game with our Shannon stop over because while we are indeed neutral, the nations that use it to refuel their military aircraft are not.

Unless they invade Iran and successfully topple the government and install a puppet it really doesn’t matter one shiit what they want.

Two creepy pompous twits with a background in real estate are the world’s foremost superpower representatives in international relations deal makings. It’s a complete farce.

Theres mounting evidence that no one did and it was just spin from the two biggest war criminals in existence that was trying to draw the Europeans into the war. For all their money and tech, the US can't wipe their own ass without the britain holding their hand. Iran don't have the capability to fire that far but the other 2 cretins get to put the frighteners up Europe to say, you're in range and suddenly they get what they want.

Next move will be Trump throwing Israel under a bus, hope it’s a big one!

Really?

The UK said it was Iran.

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c5yljdgwppzo

"The Wall Street Journal and CNN reported on ballistic missiles being fired at Diego Garcia, citing unnamed US officials, but said that neither weapon reached its target.

One of the missiles reportedly failed in flight, while the other was intercepted by a US warship. The BBC understands the reports are accurate."

BBC seems to believe it.

How has neutrality in the last three decades served the interests of the Irish people?

What benefits has it brought?
