I think days......

The dismantling of its defence systems, the panic in Terhan coupled with decapitation of the senior ministry leadership alongside important government institutions makes control increasingly hard for the regime.

I think the lack of good options for Iran has made them separately wave a white flag attempting to get back to the negotiating material but maybe it's just too late?

He's told his old mateTucker Carlson and the MAGA isolationist wing to stfu basically. He thinks it will be one VERY BIGLY ONE and he will win and then he will strut his stuff. Netanhayu probably threatened the Epstein files the one that Musk threatened only last week.

Tucker ain’t gonna like that. 😂 We always knew MAGA will undergo implosion. It was only a matter of time till he showed them his true colours.

So stop playing the nuke card. Israel is the biggest threat to the region’s future right now.
Do you think the images of Gaza and Tehran will somehow just get wiped off the memories of the people living through these times and raising their future generation there.
Or probably that is why Netenyahu is so keen to kill children - decreases the future risk of retaliation against your terror campaign, doesn’t it, if there are no children that will grow up?

Why would you defend Iran and hurl abuse at Israel? You seem clever and clued-up so it can’t be that you’re ignorant of the murderous, theocratic dictatorship in Tehran.

But you want to side with Iran? You think it doesn’t matter if they have a nuclear bomb? Seriously? Jeez.

@Sualipa He's going to enter the campaign with American bombers and missiles. The assets are mostly in place.

This was my initial thoughts too, however, there is significant domestic pressure on Trump from his loyal MAGA crowd for the US not to get involved. I don't think he will be taking that lightly. My guess is the US will help Israel with further attacks whilst assuming a position that they are not 'directly' involved.

He could also be posturing to position himself favourably in negotiating a deal with Iran.

Yup. Every country in the region is madly looking into nukes right now.

I would be highly interested to know who is potentially up for selling them. I can bet my right hand that the trail will go back to Trump’s best friends, including Putin who he is actively protecting as per Zelensky’s statement from last night.

It’s a car that Netenyahu pulled out just in time when his cabinet members were about to be banned in the U.K. even.

There is no proof Iran was making a nuclear bomb and the initial reports needed investigating. Now he has made sure the area burns for the generations to come.

Do you think Iranians will forget what Tehran looks like right now? Do you think Gaza will forget what their city looked like before Netenyahu had his way with it?

A card it is. Also, if a war criminal like Netenyahu’s regime has its fingers on a nuke button, I imagine a number of countries in the region are now looking at getting them. He has started a flame that will only keep going for generations now.

It isn’t a card it’s the main issue.

On Sunday night, an unusually large formation of American aerial refuelling aircraft — including over two dozen KC-135 Stratotankers and KC-46 Pegasus tankers — was observed transiting eastbound from North America at cruising altitudes consistent with strategic repositioning. The volume and pattern of these flights suggest a deliberate deployment of refuelling assets, rather than routine training or ferrying operations.

This mass movement does not appear to be linked to any currently scheduled multinational air exercise such as Atlantic Trident, leading many to assess it as a pre-positioning effort in support of future operations or rapid response plans. While the precise destination of the tankers remains unconfirmed, many were observed heading toward European airspace or potentially onward to Middle Eastern bases used by US and NATO forces

Ferdinando Marcos was deposed in a coup that came from within the Phillipines.

What's happening with Israel and Iran is the opposite of that. If the regime falls, it will not result in more democracy and human rights. It will descend into chaos for the entire region and then the most violent group will rise to the top.

Netenyahu is proving himself the biggest threat to Israel's existence.

BREAKING: Trump wants "a real end" to the nuclear problem with Iran and this morning will find him in the White House Situation Room, monitoring developments in Middle East, he told us during his midnight departure from Canada.

"I didn't say I was looking for a ceasefire," he said on AF1. He said he wants "a real end," with Iran "giving up entirely" on nukes.

The Israelis aren't slowing up their barrage on Iran, he predicted. "You're going to find out over the next two days. You're going to find out. Nobody's slowed up so far."

Asked his thinking on calling for Tehran to evacuate, he told me he wants "people to be safe."

He needs to be present at the White House, not Canada, where he can be "well versed" and not have to rely on phones to know what's happening, he said.

Trump sounded undecided about sending Witkoff and/or VP Vance to meet with Iran. "I may," he said. But "it depends what happens when I get back," he said.

On any threat to US interests, he said Iran knows not to touch our troops. US would "come down so hard if they do anything to our people," he said.

Trump declined to say if the chairman of joint chiefs and SecDef have provided him with planning options should Iran attack U.S. bases in Middle East. "I can't tell you that," he told me.

Trump told me "we'll be talking to them" when asked if the Gang of Eight was briefed on anything yet. But "it's not necessary," he said.

Asked if US involvement would destroy Iran nuclear program, hope their program "is wiped out long before that."

Yes, historically, hostilities exist between Saudi Arabia and Iran. However, Saudia Arabia's interest in providing stability in the ME is shifting its alliances away from Israel towards Iran. Would I trust Saudi Arabia? No.

They are now less intimidated by the U.S. and have developed strong ties with China something that’s emerged over the past decade. Additionally, Trump is reportedly investing billions in a major hotel project there, suggesting he's financially entangled, and Jared Kushner, his son-in-law, allegedly secured $2 billion in contracts in the region.A big rise in the oil price if supplies are interupted would be a welcome boost to their coffers (as it would be to Putin as well - I suspect he's not unhappy how this is playing out - his alliance with Iran was purely opportunistic for weapons and drones and he's probably pluuged those gaps elsewhere).

No or at least not yet. The goal appears to be the elimination of every identifiable expression of regime power: every military target they can find, combined with a psychological operation designed to incite panic and convince the population the regime is collapsing. On the surface, they claim to care about Iranian civilians. Trump will have been persuaded this is a 'one-and-done' operation something that doesn’t cross his personal threshold for starting another Middle East war. The fact is they can't all evacuate it's impossible the roads are gridlocked as they are and fuel is running out.

Fuel is already running out in the neighbouring countries that are dependant on Irani oil.
I am positive that with these visual wars, Israel is planting seeds of generations-long hatred of Israel in the region.

Of course there’s been no strong alternative power. They’d all have been killed! It’s not like there are free and fair elections in Iran. Any candidate not loyal to the regime is ‘disqualified’.

I doubt ordinary Iranians would have voted for execution by crane and the rape of girls and women before execution as Islam forbids the execution of virgins.

Let us hope the people of Iran take this opportunity to be free of this evil regime.

Agree. Do pp think there are free and fair ejections in Iran?
