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?

You know who else has spent millions funding terror groups? The US, the UK. Where do you think al quaeda came from in the first place?

Can you point to credible reports?

Netanyahu also funded Hamas when it suited him…

@Thegreyhound Yhis is not a zero sum game. Are you genuinely arguing that the Iranian government is not bad? Or that it does not have one of the worst human rights records in the world?

Lots of countries have done bad things. But only
one country in the Middle East has sought to create a theocratic movement of terrorist cells designed to topple elected governments in neighbouring states so the it can recreated the Persian empire and make a new Islamic caliphate.

This has been Iran’s stated aim since the Revolution. So are you saying that what they are doing isn’t awful? Their own people hate them and yet here you are splitting hairs because you hate Israel so much. It is possible for two things to be true at once you know.

Can’t wait to see the end do the tyrannical iranian regime. I was horrified how easily it hanged hundreds of its own young people for protesting the murder of an unveiled woman, and for other things throughout the years.

that said, I don’t want to see the iranian people killed or hurt anymore than they have been already. But I hope it falls in my lifetime and those young people there have hope to live how they want to.

Who will lead Iran after this? Toppling an awful regime doesn’t always lead to good things for a country

Israel’s conduct over the year in Gaza is very under reported in the mainstream media in the U.K. Until very recently saying anything negative about Israel was always pushed back as anti semitism. Even now just reading these threads, you can see people not supporting the mass murders in Gaza are being called Hamas supporters etc. I grew up in a country where there has for decades been a much more balanced reporting on the Israel/ Palestine conflict and people are generally much more knowledgeable about the history of the conflict and also Israel’s occupation, kidnapping and murder of the Palestinians over decades. I think a lot of people are just so unaware in this country.

Iranians can’t catch a break.

Netanyahu remains a homicidal maniac.

I'm not so sure the awful regime will topple, but this is the million dollar question. Looking at Libya and Iraq, it's seriously worrying.

I wonder how many of the un-nuanced or downright deceptive posts are from genuine posters.

They do, but regime change brought about by military action has very rarely resulted in a positive change, and even more rarely in a long term solution.

They are tackling the root cause of Hamas and Hezbollah

@Fitasafiddle1 Iran might fund Hamas and Hezbollah, but it's not their root cause.

Hamas is an Islamist militant group that spun off from the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood in the late 1980s. It was elected to govern Gaza in 2006.

Hezbollah was founded in 1982 by Lebanese clerics in response to the Israeli invasion of Lebanon.

Trump says at the G7 summit everyone should leave Tehran
Trump also refused to sign the statement on de escalation which makes me think he knows something others don’t with all these daily talks with Netanyahu.ie Israel are going to ramp up the attacks

( All other countries at the G7 don’t agree and want de escalation and diplomacy but we do know Trumps a complete idiot so )

Iran want to go back to discussions. Have always been part of the Treaty of non proliferation and allowed for regular checks as required by that. Unlike Israel who have never signed, deny having nuclear capability and refuse checks.

Id be very worried if I was living in Tehran and in fact the whole of Iran. Netanyahu is volatile and unpredicatable. Anything could be on the table he really doesn’t care what he does to people……Look at Gaza !

There is a reason Israel is targeting Iran.

Agree
Im shocked the UK press headlines have very little on Gaza.
You really have to search to find out what going on and as a result people forget all the suffering and starvation

Our press are being biased and I’d really love to know why.
Is it Starmer ?

The Israeli government is committing genocide. The Iranian government is oppressive and undemocratic - just like many countries in the world, such as Afghanistan - another stand out example of successful regime change. It's all a distraction from deliberate mass starvation in Gaza.

Also worth noting that Arabic Israelis are widely discriminated against and underrepresented politically. Israel is hardly a shining beacon of human rights.

This is nonsense.

Israel are not "carpet bombing" anyone. They are using targeted strikes to take out the leaders in Iran to, hopefully, destroy the meglamaniacs that control that country.

Israel has been fighting a proxy war with Iran for years now - Iran bankrolls Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis.

There are plenty of countries in the ME that would like to see the Iranian regime gone.

I agree TomeTome

No one has the right to just attack others.
This is no different from Russia invading Ukraine.

The reasons may be different but neither are justified.

Trump
Putin
Netanyahu
With these three at the helm is there any wonder innocents are being killed and countries flattened.

Sheesh. Lots of people on here struggling with using the internet this morning.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iranian_support_for_Hamas

Civilians are being killed just like in Gaza.
Those ‘targeted’strikes have killed over 50,000 people.

Some people will believe in any old propaganda being used to justify this inhumane act
Step outside and consider the logic

It is different actually. Ukraine had never threatened to wipe Russia off the face of the earth. In fact they actually gave up their nuclear weapons years before Russia’s attack on them.

Who will lead Iran after this? Toppling an awful regime doesn’t always lead to good things for a country

Lots of Iranians do dislike the current regime but removing them doesn't tend to go well as you say.

What "inhumane act" are you talking about?

Are you saying that Israel has killed 50,000 Iranian civilians ?

Can you provide a source for that number, please?

As I don't want to believe any old propaganda :)

and others not getting the question.

Israel don’t want Iran to have nuclear capability

Now try Googling whether Iran want capability
Now Google whether Israel have it.

Netanyahu and his followers by definition.
