Page 10 | Missiles can reach UK say Iran

Just heard this in live interview with Defence Secretary. Apparently they can reach us in 4 hours. Are they lying??

Pretty sure the US could bomb the hell out of us too
and isreal

iran isn’t in the habit of making the first strike unlike the other two

Right, Iran prefers to fight Israel to the last Arab through directly funding and controllign its proxies: Hezbollah, Houthis, Hamas and militias in Iraq.

They prefer to use their own bullets on their own populations.

This was on the news a few days ago
Given the range of Irans missile which hit Diego Garcia
There is a map showing the range

This map originated from the IDF so could be just scaremongering to get other countries to join their war.

Who said that map originated from the IDF? What langauge is it written in?

This. It’s not the first thing they’ve lied about is it? We should not be drawn into yet another illegal war perpetrated by Israel and/or the US. They seem to require a lot of help for two nations that claim to be so powerful don’t they?

Why is it illegal? What makes war legal?

There’s a surprise. So far only Israel has said that Iran has weapons that could reach London, Paris and Berlin. So that’s the capital cities of three major European countries who have all refused to join this war. Some might consider that a threat from Isreal who actually do have access to weapons that could reach the UK, France and Germany. The missiles that were fired at the Chagos Islands last week? Remember that? Think about it, have we actually seen any evidence that they were fired from Iran? Or was it just Isreal who said that? Is it possible that someone else have fired them to try and draw the UK, France and Germany in? False flags written all over it!

Maybe Israel also attacked Cyprus and Azerbaijan?

Ohhh, I know, maybe Israel also did 9/11 and assasinated JFK...

But you're right, Iran is more likely to carry out terror attacks in those cities (as it has done) rather than send long range missiles.

Israel are saying that Iran could hit the UK.

And they have skin in the game for spreading that message about. I don’t believe a word of it.

Remember when Saddam had missiles that could reach us and could be launched at any moment, proven by Tony Blairs dossier? Same as that.

RIP David Kelly 🙁

So can Russia's missiles, which are a far bigger concern. Why aren't you raising that?

IS that a big concern?!
Who is concerned about that?
(if they wanted to (they don't) and could (they can't) then don't you think it would have happened by now?) They've been threatening it for ooohhhh around what, 75 years or so?)
IF, IF they ever did shoot one our way (why would they?) and
IF, IF it had the capacity to reach here (.......) then what do you think would happen? Would we a) shoot it down (we would know before it got here FYI....anti missile tech and all that) or b) just sit there, all vulnerable and terrified

Jesus, the things people build up in their heads

Scare tactics to try and get the rest of Europe riled up after no one has joined them in their fight

I suppose what i mean have they explicitly said, once we have a nuclear bomb we'll drop it on you?. Because you dont really need nuclear to do that, and living nearby would surely negatively impact them

Show quote history

i guess the nuclear threat would allow them more ability to use conventional weapons though, they wouldn’t actually have to nuke their neighbours - as in how Russia has got away with invading Ukraine, because they can threaten nuclear war if we intervene

Cheese55 · 26/03/2026 13:26

Vintique · 26/03/2026 13:16

Are you asking, do they really mean it? I mean, if you were Israel, would you want to sit on your hands while they got nuclear weapons, in order to find out?!

Israel have been saying similar for days. They seem to think it's an argument for Europe to get more involved in their illegal war. Whereas from my perspective, it's just another reason for us to keep out of it.

This. It’s not the first thing they’ve lied about is it? We should not be drawn into yet another illegal war perpetrated by Israel and/or the US. They seem to require a lot of help for two nations that claim to be so powerful don’t they?

I still struggling with this whole idea this is some cunning plan to get the UK "into" the conflict...

"Into" with what exactly?

That said a lump of hot scrap iron crashing to earth in the home counties might at least concentrate a few minds in Westminster.

BoredZelda · 26/03/2026 13:22

Why pick U.K.? If they can reach us they can reach a whole bunch of countries in Europe too. France, Germany, Italy. Do you think they specified the U.K. because if we get involved other European Countries will follow?

No one really knows. We should hope for the best and prepare for the worst

Or we could just look at the reality of the situation and all carry on with our lives.

I sincerely hope we're not getting into false flag territory here. And if 'anyone's' bomb did happen to hit the UK, that we still wouldn't get into their illegal war.

Is the threat to Israel real or imagined, if they did have the tech?

The regime is appalling but the way this has been done is irresponsible to say the least and isn't going to solve anything. It's made a volatile situation even more dangerous from what I can see.

It's because Iran have sworn to wipe Israel off the earth and if they get nuclear weapons they would be able to do so. So to keep themselves safe, Israel have to prevent that happening every time they get close to manufacturing a nuclear weapon.

And Iran are Hamas’s paymasters.
