What a ridiculous comment. Did the thousands of Iranian protestors who got murdered by their own government also die to distract us?

Don't you care about them at all or the threat of Iran developing nuclear weapons? Maybe Iran were developing high purity uranium to distract us from the Epstein files.

Is every war in the world started just to protect some high up leaders from personal scandals that might have been coming their way? Or might the reasons be extremely varied and complex?

It is ridiculous. For the reasons you mention.

Hang on, the USA takes over Venezuela ‘s oil, AND THEN starts attacking Iran while oil prices skyrocket? Huh. I wonder if they will make a lot of money from it🤠

Ultimately this is about the USA vs China; Israel vs Iran is just a small theatre in a bigger conflict.

China is keeping out of it. Their official response:

China is deeply concerned over the current situation. China firmly opposes the use of force in international relations or infringement on other countries’ sovereignty and security. The priority now is to immediately stop military operations and prevent the spread and spillover of the conflict. China stands ready to work with the international community to call for peace and stop the conflict, resolve issues through dialogue and negotiations, and maintain peace and stability in the Middle East and the world at large.

44,000 gun deaths on average in America and US Govt sits on its hands.
Trump has no right to attack countries that don't jump to attention with threats of tariffs etc.
A world statesman he is not ,the base ball caps,the we bombed the crap out of them comments.
If the current Iranian regime falls the power vacuum could be catastrophic.
Iraq,Afghanistan,Libya ring any bells.

Even better: In response to the dig, Labour MP Toby Perkins hit back, "Well, it's not Franklin Roosevelt that we're dealing with either.

Sorry but I had to laugh at his comment about Starmer, "This is not Winston Churchill that we're dealing with."
