I can’t believe I’m not seeing more threads on this. Starmer back israel against Iran. Other Muslim countries are supporting Iran.

Nope it will die down in a few days and off course every normal country will back Israel , even Iranian people want that regime over and should every other country .

Exactly this.

Netanyahu is trying to prevent WW3, not start it. Trump is absolutely right to allow Israel to do this and Starmer is right to support it.

What is this pro-Netanyahu propaganda? The man is evil, he can fuck right off.

Yeah he is.

I’m sorry I am really confused. Last week we had parliament trying to play billy big balls and do some faux dick swaying about the fact that Israel were starving a whole generation of children to death. (Rather than just doing the sensible thing of doing an air drop on aid).

And this week we are sending our troops over because Netenpsycho decided to bomb a country with a lot of big weapons and then act all ‘oh no’ when they bomb back.

Seriously what the fuck is going on. All of these men need to be out of power. Starmer included. Spineless jelly baby.

I just watched the video of a British trauma surgeon speaking of how the quadcopters would come and kill off any surviving Palestinian children after a bomb attack. No doubt some sick Pro-Netanyahu poster will come along and say they’re performing a moral kindness.

I don’t know if it’s WW3 yet, but we’re complicit in the most barbaric ‘warfare’ (genocide), and I fear for the fact USA and Israel are answerable to no one.

Iranians may be desperate for the regime to end, but they’re heartbreakingly naive if they think Israel won’t carpet bomb them in the process.

I wish all manner of ills on Netanyahu, every IDF soldier and Trump. I also bizarrely wish for some wake up call to every person in my life who drifts through without acknowledging such mass murder and trampling of our universal protections.

Can you want both countries to lose? And want one to more lose than the other, but whilst scoring enough direct hits on the other's mililtary equipment to slow down the Gaza situation?

Iran aren't striking Israel's military - not so far at least. They've been hitting civilian areas. The situation in Gaza right now is better than it has been recently, lots of aid going through and medical evacuations being processed so hopefully they are easing up in general there. I suspect that they've taken out enough Hamas leadership and infrastructure at this point that they feel they can go after Iran without Iran using Hamas as a proxy to attack back. Neutralising Iran may finally lead to a step down in this horrible war.

Excuse me the revolution was in 1979 not so long ago.

My geography teacher had lived in Persia. We covered it in lessons complete with many slides she had taken while living there. The history is fascinating they were millenia ahead many races. Great builders, architects, artists, writers.

Here's a flavour of what it was like pre the revolution

Wow!

Livelovebehappy · 14/06/2025 23:22

But I can’t see the rationale in your statement when Iran would almost certainly wipe out the Palestinians in Gaza should they choose to target Israel with nuclear weapons? The Iranian despots care no more for the Palestinians than the Israeli government. Don’t make the mistake of thinking they do.

What is the evidence to back your statement that Iran will use their nuclear weapons? Is the evidence that Israel has now attacked them? Propaganda no longer works….people are researching and not falling for lies anymore….are you uneducated and ignorant?

"What is this pro-Netanyahu propaganda? The man is evil, he can fuck right off"

So you have no issue with Iran successfully developing nuclear weapons? Iran a country that through its proxies has attacked British shipping, a country that kidnapped Royal Navy sailors on several occasions and most recently five Iranians were arrested for plotting a terrorist attack in London.

It clear what side you are on and it's most definitely not the UK.

Yep. And the Iranian leaders are such a delight aren’t they? They support terrorists including Hezbolloh and Hamas, and hate the west and America with a passion. Should they indeed possess nuclear weapons, then we should be very afraid. Israel are doing us all a favour, as well as probably doing the Iranian people a favour, as the leadership is hated even by a lot of their own people.

First the response would be ‘you are an anti semite and now it’s ur not supporting the UK!’ Keep trying. Most people do not support war crimes. Is that surprising to you?

Pls don't spread mis information. Really educate yourself on why they are fighting and educate yourself on NW and which countries have the strongest capabilities. Its not Iran.

"What is the evidence to back your statement that Iran will use their nuclear weapons?"

Well the Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi publicly calling for the end to Israel's existence would be a bit of evidence, don't you think?

What nuclear weapons? What do you mean, “their nuclear weapons?”

Iran don’t have any. Why have several posters made comments about Iran’s nuclear weapons when they don’t have any?

anotherside · 14/06/2025 23:59

Religious nutters on both sides, both with scant regard for civilian life.

The hardliners in the Iranian leadership are indeed evil.
Just as Netanyahu is- and he's killed 55,000 people in Gaza.

GentleGreyFinch · 15/06/2025 00:02

WW3 started a while ago - this is another escalation and it's serious - yes. It feels to me that this is the biggest trigger so far.

Most people do not support countries facilitating terrorist attacks against its capital city - is that surprising to you ?

I disagree. I think normal people DO NOT support war crimes of which Israel is the leader. The tide is turning.

Iran isn’t the come committing an actual genocide .. killing and maiming innocents and kids indiscriminately .. and yes Iran does have the right to defend itself against this monster Israel

Iran is the puppet master behind hamas, which they did knowing full well that Palestinians would suffer the fall out.

So you support Iran? You support their actions in developing nuclear weapons? You think their leadership is rational and we have nothing to worry about? Really?

Well, why do you feel comfortable that certain countries have those weapons?
Do you think that makes other countries feel safer?

Iran represent a great danger to both the Middle East and the West. And if you don’t recognise that, then I’m afraid you’re not only uneducated and ignorant, but also very deluded.
