Iran - full evacuation of Tehran?

Or may be people are asking objective questions and requiring proof for claims?

Which ME government or autocracy or whatever has a warrant on its PM’s name so he can’t put his foot in the U.K.?

You do get that Israel attacked Iran right? Right?

UK is supporting Israel's right to defend itself.

And please stop banging on about "genocides", and other emotive rhetoric.

Writing hysterical posts doesn't help the debate.

The number of missiles coming over in Israel's direction seems to have reduced considerably, so it looks like they are running out of steam.

Israel has removed most of the leaders of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, so they are on the back foot now.

It's ok, Trump has demanded Iran's unconditional surrender and said they won't kill their leader "for now." Bet that's gone down well. Guardian live, in case anyone thinks I'm making it up.

The issue that I have a problem with, is that the UK govt is supporting Israel as it continues to murder Gazan children. I detest that. Maybe I have missed it but I have not seen the UK government support the genocides you mentioned?

I can’t think of any ME government I support either. People are so binary on here.

The U.K. government was also about to announce a ban on Israeli ministers right when the Israeli regime started this war.

Can you name one ME country that has a PM that cannot come to the U.K. for a fear of arrest?

They're a city state - OK 'territory' - of 2 million people with no way of supporting themselves. Even the sea is controlled by Israel. So it's not surprising they're unemployed - so would everyone be in Dubai (for example) if the UAE Royal family didn't have billions and billions of dirhams to throw at it. The Middle East was historically very poor before oil was found. It's not surprising that Gazans blame Israel for their poverty - and what solution does Hamas actually have? Gaza has no access to farming or minerals or forest, so nothing to manufacture. I suppose they could create a services-based industry but they'd be competing against, well, us for that. Also this problem has existed long before Hamas came to power.

What a disingenuous response. The UK government has clearly declared its support for Israel more than once. Not just called for calm 🙄 Have you seen it declare its support for the aggressors in Yemen and Sudan?

I am not sure Israel are setting out to ‘murder children’ and we have to remember that there are also murdered babies and children that were Israeli. The government in the U.K. has called for calm, what more would you like to see them do?

Can you list peaceful democratic Islamic nations in the ME please? Not autocratic dictatorships but ones that offer democracy, human rights and tolerance?

The people of Iran deserve better than their current leader, Netanyahu and Trump. They’re all callous bastards.

So are you also calling out the ongoing genocides in Darfur, Yemen, and those involving the Tigray, Rohingya, and Uyghur?

Or is it just the Israelis you have a problem with?

I think that when faced with a regime who are on the brink of having nuclear weapons, Israel may well think that they've got nothing to lose with a change of leadership, particularly if they've destroyed the nuclear programme in the process.

But a different government would be less of a threat to Israel

That is a very risky bet to make.

I believe that a cross party of representation should replace Hamas. It should represent all 2 million citizens and the religious leaders, interests and historical parties. The UN and other peace keepers should oversee a brand new pact whereby Gaza has exports, imports, access to some areas of the sea etc. All of that would be possible if anyone for a single minute thought it would be respected.

The issue here is that Iran and others do not want peace for anyone, they want every last Jew to be extinguished. That is their aim. So how can anyone broker a deal if any kind?
They simply do not want to share the land, peace or anything else. This aggressive, violent pro Hamas stance has been ignored for too long perhaps? What if it’s the case that the west have too relaxed, and not been firm enough from the beginning? It’s a different view point, but one worth asking.

yeah I think there is zero chance of Iran becoming peaceful democratic country after this intervention

it is unfortunately wishful thinking

the Islamic revolution didn’t happen out of the blue. Large majority supported and still supports the radical Islamic way of life (again look at other countries …)

it takes a lot more than to just overthrow a government. Even 20 years occupation of Afghanistan didn’t fundamentally change anything
