The conversations here are about conflict in the middle East but I think the recent news below shows that as a state we definitely are aligned to one side of the conflict as quite simply Iran looks like it has sponsored an attack on the UK which could have included relatives of any one here.

Not only does Iran back Hamas but it looks like it is quite willing to export terrorism to the UK. Whether ultimately there needs to be a military response is yet to be decided but I am glad MI5 have revealed this.

As UK citizens we should not be blinkered at all about Iran's position and it's support of terrorism against all our interests.

Major terror attack 'was just HOURS away' before it was foiled by MI5

Counter-terror officers and Special Forces raided two suspected Iranian cells in a 'highly significant' operation to tackle growing activity by the hostile state in the UK.

Don’t underestimate how many useful idiots there are in the uk. Look how many have lost their minds and rabidly joined the relentless Palestine marches.

What concerns me is the pro hamas stuff. Sympathy for Gazan’s is absolutely right and understandable. Hamas is busy killing protesters yet there are people out there who only care if Gazans are killed by Israelis not by Hamas. They are literally hunting down protesters and executing them. It’s horrifying. Yet I don’t see support for anti Hamas protests in Gaza or denunciation of Hamas for executions of protesters.

I think people in the Uk have just got too comfortable in many ways, they play out their violent ideological fantasies through brown people thousands of miles away. Why you would support a group like Hamas or Hezbollah who terrorise people in their own communities is beyond me.

Presumably they released the info for a reason as they don't often go into details about foiled plots.

Yeah I think people don’t actually realise what Iran does in the middle east because it just doesn’t affect people here. State sponsored terrorism hasn’t really been a direct threat to British people.

I don’t know much but I do know that Iran pours money into Hezbollah, Houthis (no they aren’t freedom fighters, they are mentalists who kidnap kids to force them to be child soldiers) Hamas, helped Assad barrel bomb his own people and so on. They are dangerous and we are naive. They ferment a lot of instability in the middle east.
