To think Keir Starmer has set us up to be the target of war strikes?

I'm not celebrating war.

But if Iranians are celebrating the murder of their Supreme Leader, then perhaps it wasn't an entirely bad thing.

Of course if you'd have preferred him to continue massacring innocent protesters/gays/women that's up to you.

Yes i don't think anyone has said that it is good to murder protesters have they? Are people defending that because all I have seen is people defending the degradation of the laws that are in place to protect sovereign countries and the lives and dignity of people. Israel is being ran by man who has warrants out for his arrest for war crimes, it has just broken international law again, started an illegal war and you are worried that people are 'bleating Israel bad'? Why would it worry you that people are criticising this behaviour?

Celebrate war if you like. I'm pretty anti war in most circumstances. Iran having nuclear weapons is just the same weapons of mass destruction lie the US used when they wanted to get Iraqi oil. You can tell it is lies because it was only a few month ago Netanyahu and Trump when on their last bombing jolly and said they had set back the programme decades.

I don't think it's good to murder 35,000 people for protesting either, or to murder women for showing a bit of hair, or to hang gays from cranes.

These people suggesting that Iran was close to agreeing nuclear deals or whatever to try to get them off the hook are absolutely deranged.

Iran wants to destroy Israel, not merely Netanyahu. I'm not sure you'll find many fans of Iran in Israel.

Not Israel bad, Netanyahu bad. That is the not the same thing. Many Israeli's are disgusted at their war mongering leader.

Do you think it is 'good' to break international law and start illegal wars? Is it really that straight forward do you think or do you think the situation might just be a bit more nuanced than some people are claiming it to be?

Well, I dunno, commenting in hushed tones that Netanyahu would like to see Iran destroyed without mentioning that Iran has been working really hard to destroy Israel seems like a bit of a biased analysis of the situation.

It certainly comes across like some people can do nothing other than bleat 'Israel bad'.

You do know that Reform and the Conservatives are supporting Trump's strikes don't you?

Seems likely we would be getting more involved not less if one of them were in charge.

Also a terrorist attack, likely from UK citizens is far more likely than 'war strikes' whatever those are.

Of course they are not poor and innocent. When did I say that?

I still think Netanyahu is a war criminal and so does the ICC. If he was innocent he would prove it.

Schools attacked in Iran it's just more of the same old Netanyahu tactics.

Trump assasinating a leader to stop them getting nuclear weapons when he shows no interest in giving up his own massive arsenal is pure hypocrisy,.

Poor, innocent Iran, right?

You know there's a clock in Tehran that counts down to the destruction of Israel?

Do you think that Iran hasn't been trying to destroy Israel through the terrorist groups it funds like Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis?

Shouldn't you be in school?

It's the most dangerous situation when you have two leaders who believe that they are fighting for their "god".

Yes please. He’s an absolute knob cheese.

Netanyahu is a tyrant. Trump is his puppet. Use your words not your weapons, or you’ll get hurt too.
Toddler stuff.
Iran is a horrible country with a warmongering government who hates their citizens, I’m not surprised they are retaliating with force.

No surprises there.
We have to give him this, he is honest.

Netanyahu gave a press conference saying he has been waiting 40 years to destroy Iran like this. Netanyahu is a war criminal who needs to be locked up.

Sorry, but it was Trump and Netanyahu who started it, yet again, after abandoning negotiations, yet again.
If anything further was going on behind the screens, I do not have access to it. So ask the pertinent guys.

I grew up in the 70s. Nothing here scares me.

Are you 15?

Thats a puerile observation.

If you want to look at this in terms of men/women perhaps you might want to consider how subjugated women are in Iran...

Then perhaps you could consider whether women are more or less sympathetic to their plight, and whether women's solution to that problem (whatever that might be) would be more or less effective.

I give you no answers. I kinda hope you might learn to be less one-dimensional in your thinking.

The reports came from US weapons experts and the IAEA. They didn’t say Iran was weeks away from building a viable nuclear weapon, but that it’s weeks away from securing enough fissile material for an eventual weapon - in other words the capability to enrich uranium to 90%. According to the IAEA, Iran is the only non-nuclear-weapon state in the world that is producing and accumulating uranium enriched to 60% and stockpiling it to levels far beyond what is needed for civil use.

There are loads of Iranian and Russian bots all over the internet trying to stir people up, including Muslims here who may be upset (who make for easy targets to manipulate). I would be extremely careful if I were eg a dual British Pakistani or just had indefinite leave to remain from any other country.

UK will be doing what France and Germany does which is absolutely right and they will be working with their allies.
All people should be careful to not make themselves enemies of the state, and yes, it includes eg naive students voting for the Green Party who may just be trying to buy votes. But that can come at a cost.
Look if there were WW3 why would you possibly put yourself out there online and be a massive prick about it.

The risk of retaliation is huge. I would blame DT before KS.
The propaganda machines have been working overtime, online mouth pieces breeding hate, concerned citizens terrified, it’s a disaster.

I’m sure that the country that just murdered 35,000-odd of its own civilians is totally trustworthy when it comes to international negotiations.

Devout Muslims wouldn’t murder innocent people after all

Netanyahu was first recorded saying that Iran were 'weeks away' in 1995. Unless weeks means decades in Israel it's safe to say that the man with a warrant out for his arrest for war crimes and crimes against humanity who is leading the charge on this illegal war is full of shit.
