Is this the same Iran was enriching uranium for the express purpose of building a nuclear bomb?

Is this the same Iran that was plotting a terrorist attack on a British base in Cyprus?

Is this the same Iran that send missiles against hospitals?

The same Iran which actually has a lot going people in Iran hoping the bombing of military facilities can somehow dethrone a hated Islamist regime?

Wtaf?

The Iranian regime are pure evil towards their own people as well as massive funders of terrorism and wanting to wipe Israel off the map. The thought of them having nuclear weapons is terrifying. I’m thankful to Israel for taking action to make us all safer and hopefully enable the Iranian people to overthrow the brutal theocrats in power.

Israel: Bombs hospital in Gaza - 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Israel: Hospital gets bombed in Israel - 😲😲😲😲

What amazes me is how they managed to go "precision strikes" in Iran to remove commanders but apparently needed to raze Gaza to the ground to deal with Hamas (whilst also bull dozing settlements in the West Bank as nobody pays attention).

But arguing against the wisdom of the UK getting directly involved is not "supporting the Iranian regime".

Unless you think there can only be two types of governments in the world: those we actively support and those we go to war against.

Absolutely - you can both not support Iran leadership and not want Iran and its people to be bombed.

I can accept Israel’s concerns- but bombing a country and hoping for regime change is like a throw of dice.

Could end up quite badly for Israel - they really need US to get involved. Trump wants to make his mind up in the 2 weeks…

This might be an appropriate moment to remind people, AGAIN sigh that the reason the murderous, barbaric Iranian regime is there in the first place is because Britain and America scuppered Iran's last hope of enlightened democracy by staging a coup in 1953, then spent two decades propping up a corrupt military dictatorship against the will of the Iranian people, to protect their oil interests.

Plus ça change...

Really? You think that, seriously? Isn’t that just a lazy way to think?

A quick google of the Iran-Contra affair might help some people. The total ignorance of the West’s constant arming of absolute psychopaths in majority world countries is horrifying.

No, that was Israel (or Britain, or the USA...)

Is this the same Iran that was plotting a terrorist attack on a British base in Cyprus?

Possibly

Is this the same Iran that send missiles against hospitals?

No, that's also Israel (if you do mean "hospitals" plural).

Israel does what noone else dares to but who's going to stop them. Even the relationship with America doesn't seem to have any influence.

Happy to be disabused of that impression.

I agree OP. This is an opportune moment for Iranians to stand up whilst their government and military is weakened. Anyone who supports the Iranian regime really needs to educate themselves

Stop bombing Iran

I don’t care at this stage if they have acted illegally- I can understand why they would want to give the actions of those on their doorstep

Stripes56 · 21/06/2025 17:12

@mids2019
I am surprised you think it would be unusual for people to not want Israel to bomb Iran.

The EU is asking for de-escalation and continued dialogue.

Only 16% of US citizens in a poll want US involved in Israel’s war against Iran

It seems that the more unusual view is in fact that Israel should keep bombing Iran!

This.

the audacity of Netanyahu to stand outside of an Israeli hospital and complain about it having been bombed.

Yes, it really is despicable. Glad he knows that, shame he doesn’t see the parallels.

I am horrified by the killing in Gaza, but I have to say, I find the thought of that murderous monster Khamenei cowering and trembling with fear absolutely delicious. It’s all fun and giggles when girls are being blinded and raped to death for the crime of showing their hair, but it’s not so amusing now, eh?
