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

I can't believe that Trump would lie about something this important, though some people are obviously wishing for that.

If he has pulled it off, then I'm pleased. I'm guessing this attack would have been planned weeks ago, so things are no doubt already in progress for a definitive outcome.

The Persians want their country back, the arabs out and the Islamists removed.

The best of luck to them.

Delighted for the Iranian people. Their struggles have been unrelenting for the past 47 years, and are not over yet, but hopefully the future is now much brighter. Here’s to a Western-looking Iran, as it was pre-1979.

Indeed. A tolerant, open society, well within the memories of many, before the crazies took over.

Lebanon was like that too. Perhaps it can recover its liberal self-confidence if the sponsor of its troubles, Iran, does now shake off its own oppression by the mullahs.

Good riddance

So if Trump said he’s dead,we can take it with a pinch of salt.He is a prolific liar.

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.

Oh. That’s a bit embarrassing for the pp. And for all the other sour anti-Westerners.

Who in their right mind wouldn’t accept the news and rejoice in the death of a homicidal despot?

If thats aimed at me, waiting for verification of facts is never embarrassing.
Believing a known liar without evidence would be- especially if he turns out to be lying.
I'm happy with my approach thanks.

Honestly hearing the anti western Islamo leftists trying to protest against the US military action in Iran yet conflicted and confused by ordinary Iranians supporting American intervention is like watching a computer glitch, they really don't know which way to turn.

Has Trump or Netanyahu or the US or Israel tried to commit terrorist attacks in the UK because Iran has.

You could just read the news, watch the TV or listen to the radio? How would you like us to alert you when WW3 breaks out? Carrier pigeon? A Mrs Weasley-style howler?

I know a number of Iranian refugees. We can't know what tomorrow might hold but tonight I am delighted for them.

I'm particularly thinking this evening of some of the Kurdish Iranians I know, whose lives and families have been devastated by the regime and its oppressive approach to Kurds.

Agreed

Ayatollah runs a regime that literally beats women to death for having a few hairs peeking out their headscarves

I don’t care if it’s Trump, Nugent’s or Satan himself who takes him out, good fucking riddance

As I said in my first post, the BBC were clear in saying unconfirmed reports during their news reports. Any more attempts to show yourself up whilst failing to belittle?

Bless your heart, but at least you know now and can extend a celebratory hand to our Iranian friends.

The reports today regarding the mutilation and atrocities should make anyone pleased for Iranian people. And for women absolutely for their horrific oppression.
