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

Sorry, confused. Are Israel saying Iran could hit the UK, or are they saying Israel could

Doubtful. Any they'd be shot down along the way even if they could.

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.

Who knows if it's true but Fuck Trump is all I can say. Said it earlier too when I got petrol. Just fuck him.

But why though? We don't love Donald trump. His actions aren't our fault?

I doubt they can, although it is possible.

Israel is incentivised to keep anti Iran sentiment high in Europe and the West.

But, if they could, they don’t have many and they would be easy to shoot down with the long flight time.

In addition, they would have to put a tiny warhead on to get the distance.

And, why would they ? If they wanted to just spread fear and hurt stock markets, there are far closer European cities than London.
