Reports stating that Israel have launched an attack against Iran
Israel is now on the UN Blacklist for those perpetrating sexual violence in warzones.
Pariah status assured.
In response to US attacks on Iranian ports a couple of days ago, Iran fired a ballistic missile at Kuwait which was shot down by Kuwaiti air defences, the fallen debris accidently hit the US base destroying 2 US reaper drones and caused an unknown number of injuries to US servicemen.
Did Iran just fire one missile? If so that was a very successful attack.
Funny that hit the base accidentally. I presume was been shot at them and the missile was intercepted over it.
More tit for tat strikes over the weekend

Donnie said to relax, he has it all under control.
The US are acting like bipolar idiots now. The Iranians must think they are negotiating with children.
They have a civilisation dating back thousands of year, despite what Trump and some of the posters here think, they haven't been living in caves so I wouldn't blame them for thinking they are dealing with children.
Looks like 2 months of passing papers back and forth through Pakistan in order to come to a non binding one page framework agreement to move on to face to face negotiations is close to collapse.
Trump can't even put a muzzle on his pit bull and now large cities in Lebanon are starting to evacuate after threats of bombing have been ordered.
I expect a survey of Middle-East countries would result in Iran being voted as The People's Champion for its resistance to the US and Israel and the West.

“The immediate cessation of the Zionist regime’s aggressive and brutal army operations in Gaza and Lebanon and the necessity of the regime’s complete withdrawal from the occupied areas in Lebanon have been emphasized by Iranian officials and negotiators, and there will be no talks until Iran and the resistance’s views on this matter are met,” Tasnim added.
According to Iranian media no talks will take place until Israel leaves Lebanon and sounds like the Red sea is also about to close.
They were quite clear from the start that a ceasefire across all fronts was a requirement so something went wrong somewhere over the weekend.
Everyone would be better off if they were actually negotiating with children.
FWIW, the Guardian is reporting that both Hezbollah have agreed to yet another US ceasefire proposal, which Trump told the Lebanese ambassador had also been accepted by Netanyahu, only for Netanyahu to issue the following:-
“I spoke this evening with President Trump and told him that if Hezbollah does not cease attacking our towns and our citizens, Israel will strike terrorist targets in Beirut,” Netanyahu said, according to a statement released by his office.
He added: “Our position on this remains unchanged. At the same time, the IDF will continue to operate as planned in southern Lebanon.”
Middle East crisis live: Lebanon’s US embassy says Hezbollah has agreed to ‘reciprocal’ ceasefire with Israel under US proposal
So it's a ceasefire so long as Israel only attacks southern Lebanon. The gaslighting... i will give it to Bibi he is an expert at playing the fiddle. It begs the question what has Bibi got on Donnie .
Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't Hezbollah supposed to withdraw from Southern Lebanon and disarm 20 years ago?
United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701 - Wikipedia
but Hezbollah stayed there and since 8/Oct/2023 has attacked Israel continuously since then without any condemnation from the usual suspects.
Oh the irony of your selective concern for violations of un resolutions and international law. Correct me if i am wrong, but aren't israel in violation of UN resolutions and an ICJ ruling to withdraw from the West Bank. Don't be a hypocrite Sean, dont express concern for violations of UN rulings and international law only when it suits your position.
Funny that you did not see fit to mention that Hezbollah is not supposed to be operating South of the Litani river …
Why should Israel be condemned for attacking Hezbollah in Southern Lebanon when Hezbollah isn't supposed to be there?
The irony of this coming from someone who has demonstrated they only care about "International Law" when they need a stick to beat Israel (and its Jews) with …
It's also funny how you did not see fit to address your own hypocrisy. Why should Israel and its supporters expect others to abide by UN resolutions when Israel doesn't abide by them. Israel should not be in the West Bank, but i haven't seen you once call for them to cease operating there.
Every accusation is a confession ,Sean. You repeatedly use an antisemitic trope by ascribing a hive mind to Jews. You also run cover for violations of international law with a fabricated total war doctrine that has no basis in international law.
I haven't called for Israel to withdraw from the West Bank because I believe it would be national suicide for them to do so.
But if you're going to criticise Israel for its actions in Southern Lebanon, I would have thought Hezbollah's presence there was a relevant factor?
I never said that all Jews were a collective hive mind but there are a number of fact that are beyond dispute:
Call me any names you like, but those three facts should be considered the baseline.
How would it be national suicide? Israel has one of the strongest armies in the world and is backed up by a superpower. These facts mean it's not going anywhere.
This just seems like a covenient excuse by you to ignore Israel's obligations as per the ICJ ruling and various UN Resolutions.
It's implicit in your replies, when you suggest criticism of the state of Israel is only because of the "da joos"- "no jews,no news". A lot of jews outside of Israel also criticise the actions of the Israeli state. What is your classification for them?
Because theyre attacking civilians and levelling entire villages too? Kinda seems simple...
Why do you specifically mention Jews? Criticism of Israel is simply that - criticism of a warmongering nation currently committing Genocide and War crimes (for nearly 3 years).
I get that defending your side is a natural reaction, but it's pretty pathetic to bring Jews into it. Plenty of Arabs serve in the IDF, Knesset etc.
As for international law, if Israel is on the right side, how come Netanyahu and Gallant haven't offered to pop off to The Hague to clear their names?
Even Iran that you are keep criticising is angel comparing to Israel according to UN records.
Nice burn nacho!
Axios with another scoop from unnamed sources on Trumps supposed heated call with PM of the apartheid state.
Given the outlet's record of announcing exclusives which never turn out to be true, there is far more chance that Netanyahu told Trump to " STFU and do as your told you piece of ****, if it was not for us you would not be President, nor will you will have any chance in the mid terms "

Was just thinking the exact same thing.....I was going to say its severely damaging to a Presidents reputation....but then I remembered who the president is
He's already a reputational black hole, this is just another thing that's suspended on his event horizon of ignominy.
I know a fair few Jewish people who are opposed to the actions of the state of Israel. Equally there's some pretty prominent Jewish people who have called out their actions. Eg Naomi Klein, Daniel Levy, Hannah Einbinder to name a few. By your logic they're in some kind of Uncle Tom scenario but the reality is they and others can see the extremist foreign policy of Netanyahu. I'm a poster who would happily call out posters for being antisemitic btw but anyone with an ounce of sense knows that Nacho is not.
It is a bit sad that you seem to be reduced to pretty petty smear attempts tbh.
