Surely this can only be a good thing if that tyrant is no more. However hopefully it won't lead to months/years of fighting and bloodshed

FGS.
If he was alive he would have been shoved out by now.
He is DEAD and not a moment too soon.
I hope every one of his equally evil mullahs are dead too or will be soon.

Im delighted. Iran was a beautiful progressive country full of beautiful brilliant women, fabulous cities, turning out highly educated men & women when, 47 years ago it was plunged into a terrible dark time where women had no rights and anybody who spoke out was jailed, beaten and murdered.

This regime hanged a 16 year old girl last September for ‘loosing her chastity’.
She was raped.
I hope the Reza Palavi returns as new Shah (even if it’s interim) for people to have a focus while they re democratise themselves.

It’s not over yet. They have to remove -either kill or capture- every mullah and their families. There can be none left.
The people are dancing in the streets - that should tell us all we need to know.
Women taking off their hijabs, laughing, cheering.
Im not ashamed to say I had very wet eyes for an hour.
These women lived -or exsisted- under a regime like we can never imagine.
We should be delighted for them & do everything we can militarily to support them.
Iran has caused so much instability in the world supporting Muslim terrorists.
I hope Khomeini is burning slowly in hell for eternity.

My love goes to every Persian woman on here.

Completely agree!

My Persian friend hasn’t been to bed yet - her and her family have been celebrating all night.

Agree. Their hate for America and Israel is greater than their compassion for the Iranians who are now free from the oppression of a very evil regime.

So many people are who shit scared to have their views aligned with Trump or Israel that they’d rather ignore the brutality of a dangerous and violent regime that kills women for being raped

Apparently Jeremy Corbyn is attending a pro Iran rally. What is wrong with these people. But Iranians living in other countries have been celebrating the downfall of that despicable tyrant.

No show without Steptoe is there

Hes long since given up hiding his hatred for Jews

Not verified yet, but very sadly there are always going to be innocent deaths when trying to wrestle with evil regimes for the good of the people.

I wouldn’t be here if, 85 years ago when we decided to ally against Nazis, we were too concerned with what would happen to German citizens

@Vinvertebrate , I think what you're saying is that your DH is happy to revel in revenge feelings. Doesn't need to think about the situtation further.

BBC World Service had excellent commentators on today (Newsday programme) talking about how regime change has never succeeded simply due to air strikes, also the USA is following a decapitation strategy, not actually a regime Change strategy, in Iran or Venezuela etc.

I am thinking of Hydra, cut off one head & 3 sprout in its place. Decapitation doesn't kill the Hydra, if anything, Hydra becomes more dangerous.

I greatly hope my cynicism is misplaced.

The words “BBC” and “excellent” don’t belong in the same aentenxe

And history bucks up against that theory.

somuchbedding · 01/03/2026 09:19

I think everyone is losing their heads because one man is dead

I think this is pretty offensive. Do you think the people are stupid and unaware of what could happen in the future? perhaps they are just celebrating in the moment & what it means to them?

I agree

The Iranians don’t need white liberal lefties, comfy in their own homes today, who effectively close their ears and say “la la la I’m not listening, you racist” when we talk about the immense danger to the whole world of Islamists.

“Little or no justification”
REALLY.???
Iran has financed terrorists around the western world for decades.
They have ensured massive instability in the ME because of their utter hatred of Israel and every Jewish person.
The extreme Islam Mullahs have murdered tens of thousands of their own people in the last few weeks - god only knows how many over the last 47 years,
Women KILLED for showing a bit of hair! For beimg raped!
No justification???
Fuck that and the goat he ride in on.

There will ALWAYS be casualties in regime change.
I feel dreadfully sorry for the children who died yesterday and their parents but I feel much more sorry for the 35,000 people murdered on their own streets for protesting.
The Iranian leaders would let every single person in Iran die if it meant they could destroy Israel. Well, when I say every single person they won’t include themselves or their families in that of course.

MI5 with Mossad intelligence has foiled 20 Iranian terrorist plots in the UK.
What would they hve done? Blown up synagogues? Shot up kids in Jewish schools? Or maybe just another blowing up,of kids at a concert or blowing people up on their way to work -no doubt Birmingham and Bradford would hve been safe though.

I hope our weak weak PM does another of his U turns and allows American forces to use any of our bases and runways . I’m pleased the RAF had planes up in the ME yesterday.

The indiscriminate rocketing of other Muslim countries by Iran will simply push the moderate countries into supporting Israel.
This may finally bring about some peace in the ME.
Surely you would want that?

Or will you be rocking up to parliament square with Corbyn, the Greens and every other terrorist supporting twat.

Well bloody said

Sadly people seem to care less about UK Jews than any manner of oppressive men in primitive Middle Eastern countries

I think it’s incredible, not funny you are right, that you think this is being done for the good of the Iranian people. I think they have much worse to come now, but like I have already posted, I hope that I am I am wrong. I think Trump and NB have just started something very dangerous.

I feel like these kind of posts say they WANT it to be worse for Iranians because then they can flex about how right and liberal they are.

I couldn’t give a shit if DT and BN aren’t bombing for reasons that sit well with lefties and Islamists. This is a good thing. This tyrannical and violent regime will not be tackled if that monster remained in power

Lucky for everyone that we still had gonads in 1939 and didn’t bottle it in case we hurt the feels of the rank and file Nazis. FGS.

Pleased to report that DH still has a grin on his chops. And a very bad hangover.

I think it's more that they have been brainwashed into thinking that Israel is the ultimate evil so anyone who stands up this horrific evil must therefore be good. Thye explain away the cognitive dissonacne through, for example, insisting that Israel must have massacred the protesters as that's what the regime has said.

No shit Sherlock.

But nobody takes bold action against their threats based on their ability to be certain and also psychic.

When there’s a threat to our very existence - and when there’s a threat to Jews the world over / leaders have to be bold and brave.

Little or no justification in international law, is what I said. And this is correct. "The attack on Iran is a clear violation of the UN charter, in any absence of any credible, imminent Iranian threat to the US." (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/feb/28/trump-unprovoked-attack-on-iran-has-no-mandate-and-no-clear-objective ). He also appears to have violated US law, since Congressional authorisation is required to start a war.

I'm guessing that the people who think this war is ok are the same people who revelled in the attack on the Soham murderer in prison the other day. Even when people are wicked, we require the rule of law to keep ourselves safe. Think what has happened in Iraq, Libya, etc over the years: Western leaders using moral condemnation as the excuse to meddle in a foreign country, with no real commitment, capacity or plan to ensure that regime change leads to improvement as opposed to prolonged instability, violence, decay and suffering, the collapse of ordinary life for millions of people.

Yes I was happy Ian Huntley was brutally attacked. So shoot me

It’s always the same lefties who will terrify the living daylights out of Jews with hate marches supposedly in support of Palestine, but kept schtum when Iran slaughter their own people because women sing in the streets. This is the level of hate the have for Israel, the only democracy in the ME - they’d rather Iranians continue to suffer under a brutal regime than seen to be accepting that actually Israel are right

The same hypocrites who march all the time for Palestine yet say absolutely NOTHING about what's going on in Afghanistan.

I don't see them marching for the rights of the women now deemed slaves.

Or the women or girls in the UK.

They don't care about them at all.

Just reveal themselves to be anti-semitic and misogynists.

I can quite assure you this is accurate. One Hamas supporter early in the thread pit laughing emojis when I (correctly) described Israel as a democracy and demanded me to tell her when the last election was. Not sure she expected me to say 2022.

I cannot begin to tell you how many hateful people, who just happen to dislike Israel and have been brainwashed by lies, I encounter IRL, who demand answers from me about Israel and ask if my innocent peers being slaughtered on beaches were so because of Israel
