Iran - full evacuation of Tehran?

795 replies

Fitasafiddle1 · 17/06/2025 04:18

Genuinely finding it hard to sleep now having seen the news that Tehran - a population of 10 million are being urgently advised to leave. Is anyone else feeling very concerned (and nervous) watching what is now taking place in the ME? It is being reported that Israel have ‘full ariel control’ of Iran?

Any thoughts on Turkish involvement?

So according to the Guardian Katz is publicly gunning for the Ayatollah. That's going to make negotiations tricky. And Iran is threatening "allies of Israel".

and Turkey is moving military to its borders.

It's being reported USA will use it's bunker bombs in days on nuclear site's.
How safe is that? Releasing the chemical's

Uranium needs to be enriched to 90% to be weapons grade
Iran is not enriching Uranium to that level.

Sites hit so far, ie the inactive heavy water reactor Arak have not shown any leaks according to the IAEA

Oh I have reported plenty of posts denying/defending the October 7th attacks on here.

I haven’t seen any doing either but I’m guessing they were rightly deleted.

The difference is that you won’t find anyone on here denying them or defending them, whereas people do come on here and repeat lies and propaganda

So are you saying Oct 7 didn't happen ?

You've got to have a sick mind to believe that, but nothing surprises me anymore, with conspiracy theorists.

Israel's hand has been forced throughout by 1. Their proximity to multiple hostiles; 2. Oct 7th; and 3. Iran becoming an imminent nuclear power.

They can hardly be blamed for neutralising threats. If only our own governments would act in the interests of their people.

Gaza was given a fair degree of autonomy in 2005, and they end up with Hamas and Oct 7th.

The big danger would be the emergence of another IS-type outfit and their attendant misery. Thinking about it, a monarchy may be the best route for Iran - it seems to be the only type of state that works in the region or at least remains stable for a reasonable period.

And 4. constant wars to keep Netanyahu in power.

I just saw a clip of an NBC report. The journalist was grinning like an idiot whilst describing an Israeli/US idea to let of the world's first ever and largest imaginable dirty bomb

quite unbelievable

Of note @alikelylass heres some info on your source business insider

they basically rehash information they get from sources they do not declare.

Thank you @Stirabout. What’s that phrase? Something like ‘a lie can run half way round the world before the truth has tied its laces’

By writing off every single valid criticism as being said because of anything linked to Judaism then yes, delusional.

Like you would really say the same about any other form of racism. So yes, hypocritical.

Yes direct US involvement now seems possible, and is being reported everywhere.

I assumed the US were trying to broker an agreement with Iran, and now the arm twisting is becoming extreme. Does.anyone have any further details?

Agree @Greyhound
Let’s debunk the lies and keep to reputable sources that give the true run down of compiled facts after investigations
