Iran - full evacuation of Tehran?

[Fitasafiddle1]

Genuinely finding it hard to sleep now having seen the news that Tehran - a population of 10 million are being urgently advised to leave. Is anyone else feeling very concerned (and nervous) watching what is now taking place in the ME? It is being reported that Israel have ‘full ariel control’ of Iran?

MAGA are beyond themselves with fury. Vance can’t control them much longer.

If this could be the end of Trump, it will be one silver lining. But I don’t think I should be this hopeful.

He isn’t ISIS, he knew Al-Bagdadi in prison but was never ISIS he avoided them when he arrived in Syria probably had some of them killed (a few people who were supposed to visit mysteriously went missing). He was basically told by al-qaeda that he would be reporting into them and he went “fuck that”. I think he never signed up to the idea of transnational caliphatehoods.

Theres a wealth of information out there if you care to find it.

I absolutely agree.
Its extremely worrying having such a weak follower at the helm at the moment. I was merely pointing out
either
Trump hasn’t told anyone at the G7 summit whats actually happening
or
he has and Starmer, for example, is lying.

Given Trump ego I believe it’s the former

You are incorrect on this. Israel didn’t share its intelligence and didn’t brief the uk before launching the attack on Iran.
Our intelligence services are good . However Israel and to an extent the USA don’t trust the present UK government on this issue atm.

Yes Starmer won’t know what US will do, no point asking him really.

From a purely military tech point of view - it will be very interesting to see if this ‘deep’ bomb works as well as it is supposed to.

I’m not disagreeing with any of that. But the point still stands, is Israel right to prevent Tehran from getting a nuke. Yes frankly.

Can they instigate regime change? Well no, no-ones prepared to out boots on the ground, no-one is funnelling weapons to any opposition groups etc, there is no nation building stuff going on, no hearts and minds etc. Iran is basically uninvadvable, everyone knows it. This is not Iraq. Libya is full of jihadis and the Iranians aren’t struggling to get people to go to the mosque.

If the Iranians rise up and kick the shit out of the IRCG then I’ll be pleased to see it. The Iranian regime doesn’t have any right to power. If it can’t keep control of it’s population it will lose power. But thats the key isn’t it, they have to control and terrorise their population to keep their position. I don’t understand why so many are so desperate for these dickheads to stay in charge, mind boggling.

I’ve missed this announcement. Didn’t realise that the UK has called for the arrest of BN.

Yes - me too.

@Thegreyhound "Bullying and bombing is the modus operandi of Netanyahu and his cronies and they’re doing it to most of their neighbours right now"

Maybe if their neighbors hadn't been attacking them with terrorist proxies for decades it would be different.

Don't forget Palestine rejected statehood in 1948.

A resolution was put forward that called for the withdrawal of British forces from what was then called "Palestine" and termination of the Mandate by 1 August 1948, and establishment of the new independent states by 1 October 1948.

The leaders of the Jewish Agency for Palestine accepted the plan, while Arab leaders refused it

Wherever ICC can get to him and U.K. is one of those countries.

So the UK hasn’t called for his arrest?

The UK hasn't but ICJ has.

This is from 2014 - www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cjr4gvydxeno

He is wanted by the ICC which has crucial U.K. members and backing, and U.K. has also sanctioned his cabinet members.

Where did I say the U.K. government has called for his arrest?

Why are you so worried about someone wanted for war crimes by the ICC and considered a genocidal, far right supporter by several international organisations? The lunatic Irani regime needs dismantling but by their own people. Not by someone wanted by the ICC.

ICC, fully supported by the U.K. governments, have issued arrest warrants for him.
What else do you want them to do? Send an assassin? Or bomb the hell out of Israel? Civilised nations and institutions do not do that.

“The Israeli PM is wanted in many peace loving countries in the world, including the UK”

And? Did you read my post in its entirety? I have explained what I mean. Do you have anything to say about those points?

Trump is changing his mind hourly, so Starmer can’t say what he will or won’t do.

Why do you say “I don’t know which Jews Houthis hate?”

Why would you assume it isn’t all of them? Are you trying to make “a curse upon Jews” more acceptable?

It is really interesting how you are trying to dodge the really long history of Jew hate.

Like historically Jews have been expelled from many countries, including our own, targeted, killed. The ‘Final Solution’ was a dedicated attempt to kill them all.

But when the Houthis say “a curse upon Jews” your assumption is that they don’t actually mean it? Or only some Jews?

And similarly, when people state a desire to annihilate Israel, which is a Jewish state, again you don’t think they really mean it.

Is the lesson you have learned from history really “they don’t really mean it” when people say they hate Jews?

A technicality
The 124 countries in the ICC are obliged to abide by the arrest warrants issued for Netanyahu
Whilst, agree, the UK and all others haven’t issued individual warrants.

Is it really beyond your comprehension that people can despise what isreal is doing in Gaza, without it being driven by an obsession with Jews?

Agree Clever
I’m shocked some people don’t care about the people in Gaza. Whoever they are.
The IDF have upped their game in terms of killing people trying to get a bag of flour.
Whats wrong with people.

and no, I don’t care what religion people are. We all belong to the same human race. Why some people think we have an obsession with Jewish people is pure delusions of grandeur and a quick way on these threads to put people down.

Delusions of grandeur? Just when you think it can't get any lower.

wow!!!

I agree.

The bar has seriously dropped below anything I would ever have expected since Israel attacked Iran last week.
