How long until the Iranian regime collapses?

You can hear the football chants "There's Only One Ayatollah....." and probably a million regime head chopping nutjobs who will be looking for work. Bit like the Baath Party in Iraq some of who morphed into ISIS/Al Queda etc - this ain't just regime belief but messianical religion from people who don't fear death.

I think they might use the US weapon that can to take out what’s there underground.

In the public domain but not sure if it’ll go ahead.

That is the bigger issue, yes. Will toppling the Ayatullah make it less of a threat? Perhaps it will. Or perhaps the next leader will accelerate the push for nuclear weapons so he doesn't meet with the same fate as his predecessor.

Stay out of it. Let the Iranians choose for themselves who they want as their leaders. Right now many Iranians (who are still critical of their government) have rallied behind their leaders because they are under attack by an outsider. This is the natural and likely consequence of a foreign threat. Many were furious when Trump tweeted they should leave Tehran.

The common misconception in warfare is to assume civilians will think my enemy's enemy is my friend. Whilst some may despise the mullahs, that doesn't mean they will despise western influence that causes havoc in their lives any less. Especially if it will lead to a greater war that will see more people losing loved ones, their homes and much more.

Tbf there’s bigger issue than who is the regime head, it’s more about the nuclear power.

It looks like all G7 and EC are agreed that is a credible and serious threat.

Someone should tell him can not and cannot don´t mean the same...

An expert on the regime was on Newsnight yesterday. His opinion, once the Ayatollah is gone, that will be the end.

So what you suggest as an alternative?

Who on here is empathising with the Ayatullah? Im certainly not. But many of us know that western interference and forcible regime change hasn't always worked out well for everyone involved. That's not an unreasonable stance to have and neither does it imply empathy towards leaders of hostile countries.

Why do you see hamas everywhere? Is hamas now directing Trump? Did Hamas force Trump to end the agreement in 2018?

After the Great Orange One abruptly left on "urgent business," the G6 let Zelenskyy take his seat, but also a reminder that unlike Israel, Ukraine doesn't "hold the cards". Netanyahu, for his part, denied Zelenskyy a visit to Israel after October 7, even as he rolled out the red carpet for nearly every other world leader.

Putin and Netanyahu were once pretty damn close more so than other leaders but their relationship has cooled particlualy so since there are many emigre Russian Jews living in Isarel. Still, Putin reportedly welcomes the distraction Israel’s war in Gaza provides. It shifts global focus, highlights Western double standards, and allows him to draw parallels: both he and Netanyahu are now wanted by the International Criminal Court for alleged war crimes but both don't deserve to be in their minds !!

A terrorist regime is not getting much sympathy here.

Iran’s one was dying. Attempts to change it by force would cost many lives and a risk of part of Iran becoming Taliban and roaming grounds for militarised extremists.
If you are really afraid of extremists - then don’t create conditions for them, which this war does.

I cannot comprehend the empathy that a terrorist regime is getting. The bloody Iranians sponsor Hamas so why the fuck are we hearing western women pitying them and talking about them being betrayed by western governments! please excuse my language.

Thank you Hamas?

Or they don’t get to share any of the blame at all despite planning & carrying out a massacre on Israeli civilians.

Talking of Ukraine, it's interesting how Russia is also warning the US not to join forces with Israel.

Well I hope every Labour Liberal remembers Blair and Campbell's huge parts in that.

Maybe Trump wants to follow in the footsteps of Bush? Wasn't Netanyahu involved in convincing Bush that Iraq had the (non-existent) WMD?

Try telling Ukraine that.

Because Trump has brought so much stability to the world .....
Honestly you can be Trump's number 1 fan all you like but criticising people for not supporting him is a ridiculous.
Not supporting trump does not mean you support regimes like Iran

The obsession and hatred for Trump reminds me why Reform have gained such traction. Liberals are too busy worrying about the the wrong enemy.

Amer is too big. WW3 cannot start now without America’s help.

Under Trump that's not a given.

Yes because heaven forbid if WW3 broke out, we wouldn't need America's help.

Things I never knew until now !

Saudi Arabia, until recently, banned all non-Islamic religious practices in public, including Judaism.
There are no synagogues in the country.
Entry was historically difficult for Jewish individuals or those with Israeli passports.

According to estimates, between 17,000 and 25,000 Iranian Jews are living mostly in larger cities such as Tehran, Isfahan, Shiraz, Hamedan and Tabriz.
Next to Israel, Iran has the largest number of people of the Jewish faith in the Middle East. Iran’s parliament, the Majlis, has one reserved seat for the Jewish community.
In Isfahan, one of the city’s most prominent synagogues is located next to a mosque called Al Aqsa, and in Tehran, there are at least 50 synagogues spread across the city.
The Jewish community also runs a hospital in Tehran that caters to all patients regardless of their religious affiliation.
Jewish ties to the country date back as far as 2,700 years ago, Younes Hamami Lalehzar, a senior rabbi at Abrishami Synagogue in Tehran, once told me in an interview.
It is believed that Jewish heroine Esther and her uncle, Mordechai, are buried in the western city of Hamedan. According to Jewish biblical text, Esther was married to the Persian king, Xerxes.
In more recent history, the country gave safe haven to Jews who fled the Spanish Inquisition. During German Nazi leader Adolf Hitler’s rampage of Europe, Polish Jews sought refuge in Iran.
But there have also been periods of unrest, such as the forced conversion of Jews to Islam during the Safavid and Qajar era, and the migration of thousands of Iranian Jews to the US and Israel following the 1979 Islamic revolution.

When you ally goes nuts, yes, you should stop trusting them.
And if you can and you care for them, you should stop them.
