Possibly. Unless cool heads intervene

user764329056 · 21/06/2025 23:17

It could, Iran/Israel situation very precarious, I try not to worry as it’s totally out of our control

Finteq · 21/06/2025 23:18

Yes

Redshoeblueshoe · 21/06/2025 23:18

No.

A regional conflict might escalate but there is no strong prospects of an imminent war involving many large nations in all different parts of the world.

What was this post and why did you deem it reliable?

What sources would you accept??

No official government source has said anything about this- so how do you expect anyone to provide you with sources.

And anything I say off the record you won't accept.

WaryCrow · 21/06/2025 23:39

It ain’t looking great. I wish, I wish, I wish we had a government that had worked for its own people these last 40 years and we were not so dependent on America. We now know they are not our allies, so why allow transit through our airspace?
And why so many Islamic middle easterners here, playing their nationalist politics when they would whine about real western involvement?

PoopingAllTheWay · 21/06/2025 23:40

Well it could. There simply is no way of knowing

strawlight · 21/06/2025 23:43

Yes I think it could start in the Middle East. I really don’t want Britain to get involved, especially under any influence of Trump.

AnneLovesGilbert · 21/06/2025 23:50

What was the source for the very vague opening post?

nightvisiting · 21/06/2025 23:50

I don't personally believe so.

Kinneddar · 21/06/2025 23:51

No scare mongering

Id say thats exactly what this threads doing

DeSoleil · 22/06/2025 01:10

No.

iwishihadaname · 22/06/2025 01:13

breaking news on sky news. Americans have bombed Iran

Cleanthatup · 22/06/2025 01:16

Well it’s just happened! Trump has bombed three sites in Iran… I am disgusted

Nutmuncher · 22/06/2025 01:21

In answer to your OP, it may have just started whilst you posted this thread.

LadyWiddiothethird · 22/06/2025 01:25

Bad news now America has bombed Iran,Trump is a f*ing lunatic.

SnowFrogJelly · 22/06/2025 01:27

No

Daisyqueen45 · 22/06/2025 01:28

Is it not a good thing that Iran will now not have a nuclear bomb?

crumblingschools · 22/06/2025 01:30

@Daisyqueen45 do you think Iran will take this quietly?

TooBigForMyBoots · 22/06/2025 01:31

The US and Israel are at war with Iran.

PM Starmer needs to keep us out of it.

Iran has never had a nuclear bomb.

Pieceofpurplesky · 22/06/2025 01:33

Starmer needs to stay out of it but will/can he - depends on NATO. It’s a scary time. Trump has got his war.

Daisyqueen45 · 22/06/2025 01:35

I have no idea, I thought they were running out of money bombing Israel.
