US/Israel conduct airstrikes on Iran again

Yes. It's just optics for him because he knows whatever slim chance he has to be in power beyond May would evaporate if he was seen to support the war publicly.

trump saying today that that he sent the weapons in to kill iranians and Mossad saying they were there too, so who killed those Iranians. Certainly doesn't sound like it was Iran responsible for your absolutely ridiculous propaganda figures

That tweet today from Trump is something a thug would write. Definitely not Presidential in tone laden with expletives. He is clearly panicking. This was a war of choice by the U.S. and Israel both suffering tremendously. No doubt Iran is suffering but it is in an existential fight. If it looses then the country most likely breaks into multiple entities.

Protest are on the increase in Israel against Bibi's government and the war in general. You have to ask where these protests were against the ongoing genocide in Gaza. It indicates a society which has lost is humanity and the current protests are driven by a selfish fear of death and destruction.

Bibi I think, believes if Israel can weather the death destruction being wrought by Iran, Hezbollah and the Houthis it can eventually brings about the disintegration of Iran with the help of the U.S. I think this is unlikely to happen. Iranians have united to defend their homeland. They endured 8 years of death and destruction from Iraq. They are battle hardened in a way the Israelis are not.

The curse of the 8th decade is a very real possibility for Israel.

I think it was a win for Iran in so far as they did not shoot the prisoner - similarly Hamas kept their captives alive.

France24 report that the US fired on Iran from bases in GCC member states.

For any of the GCC to claim neutrality is laughable.

Think its the same nutjob poster from the dangerous dog breed thread.

And more Shih Bird than Shih Tzu.

The plot thickens - seems the destroyed US aircraft at Isfahan may have had nothing to do with the rescue of the pilot. Some observers were already very suspicious of why a lone missing airman would need huge transport planes which can hold 100 troops apiece to rescue him.

Current rumour is it was a nuke raid to get the materials that's gone horribly wrong.

But, to be honest. I've no clue what's going on. So much fog of war at the moment.

Starry: Pete Hegseth is a Christian National Zionist who doesn’t care about humanitarian law or law in general, nor the US Constitution. US soldiers won’t refuse illegal orders (“no quarter, no mercy”), as they could be shot on sight or imprisoned. The top brass of the Pentagon could refuse illegal orders to pursue a war not authorised by Congress. Short of that bold step, it would take a military coup.

Arizona [Democratic] Senator Mark Kelly wrote to Secretary of Defence Peter Hegseth (on US Senate Letterhead):

The Honorable Pete Hegseth
Secretary of Defense
U.S. Department of Defense
1000 Defense Pentagon
Washington, DC 20301

Secretary Hegseth:

I am writing to request clarification regarding several of your recent public statements about U.S. military operations against Iran, including that “no quarter” would be given to enemies of the United States.

The phrase “no quarter” has a well-established meaning in the law of armed conflict. Historically, and legally, it refers to a declaration by a military commander that no enem combatants can be taken prisoner—that is, that they are to be killed rather than permitted to surrender.

Such a declaration is expressly prohibited under international law, including the Geneva and Hague Conventions, and would be a war crime punishable under the War Crimes Act of 1996 (18 U.S.C. 2441). The Department of Defense Law of War Manual adopts international law, including Article 23 of Hague IV Regulation, expressly stating it is “forbidden to declare that no quarter will be given” (Section 5.4.7).
[...]

Clear guidance from the Secretary of Defense is essential to the professionalism and discipline of the United States Armed Forces. Our troops deserve certainty that their leadership gives the utmost respect to the laws that govern armed conflict and has a clear understanding of the importance of the reciprocal rules of engagement that protect their lives
[...]

is this the new false flag claims now that the arsonist attack in London looks to be a dead duck for the conspiracy theorists?

Just a reminder on the brutality of the Iranian regime it reduced the military age of 12year for security duty are been used by the voluntary militia tasked with killing any Iranians protesting against the regime, their check points are been bombed by the Israelis

They're backing themselves. The US has done nothing but fcuk us over. Threats, tariffs, illegal wars that push up the cost of living, the petrodollar scam, little more than a protection racquet.

You can live in your Trump/US concentric fantasy land. The rest of us live in reality. If American objectives are achieved, Israel is stronger, we are weaker and a flood of refugees are heading for our shores.
