And so it begins

KenAdams · 22/06/2025 01:25

There goes Trumps Nobel Prize that he so desperately wants. Being at war with Iran is not a sensible move for Mr America First.

GretaGreen · 22/06/2025 01:26

This will definitely bring peace to the middle east.

TooBigForMyBoots · 22/06/2025 01:27

It's WMD all over again.

Let's hope PM Starmer keeps us the fuck out of it. Not our circus, not our monkeys.

Good I hope the operation has been successful and irans nuclear capability has been destroyed. Iran is a threat to the west - I don’t think we should be involved in regime change (particularly after disastrous interventions in Lebanon and Syria but I support this action.

If the planes used Diego Garcia we’re already involved as we’ll have had to agree to it.

PoopingAllTheWay · 22/06/2025 01:35

The start of WW3 is upon us

GentleSheep · 22/06/2025 01:41

Yep. I do think that Iran may retaliate by activating sleeper cells in the US. After all it can't bomb the US directly so that's it's best alternative.

Why are statements about this sort of event inevitably followed by 'the world is a safer place' because of this or that action. I honestly don't think it will be after this, even if it temporarily quiets the latest war between Israel and Iran.

Elam's bow is broken, though. Biblical prophecy fulfilled. (Jeremiah 49:35)

Huh?

Im no fan of Iran, theocracies or nuclear threats. If we are under any threat it's from Russia but Trump isn't that bothered about them.

This action will result in another flood of refugees.

Trump's been played by Netenyahu. Stupid cunt that he is.Angry

Not really. There were definitely nuclear plants enriching uranium (they got to 88%) and with their regime's philosophy of hatred towards Israel they weren't far off having a nuclear weapon. If the bombs dropped did the job properly (I suppose there will be images of some kind coming out) then there will be no chance of them carrying on with their program at all. They'd have to start all over again.

Iran is/was way off having a nuclear weapon. If it was close the US and the nuclear watchdogs would have known, said and warned of it.

PoopingAllTheWay · 22/06/2025 01:55

Iran will come back with something because they have to, they will not be shown to be weak.
Otherwise they are left open for anyone to just bomb them.

For those saying Good etc…
Im sorry but you arent glued up about what this can be the start of

You cant just go into a country because they have nuclear weapons. We have them, would it be ok for another country to do that to us, or the USA, or France, Pakistan, India, North Korea etc? No, and it would not be tolerated either

China & North Korea on the side of Iran.
As well as Pakistan so they can easily get ships, planes and air defences from those countries

This could be the start of something HUGE

TRUMP saying - Now time for PEACE
is rubbish - He wants to be a wartime president and go down in History and he knows what this is going to cause

USA targets will be hit in relation either a warship or a US airbase (in the middle east)

This isnt peace - This is just the start

They aren't going to announce that to the public though, are they.

There is also more than one way information could come to the US, or any other country, about nuclear development in Iran, without the watchdogs knowing.

Just like the non-existent WMD in Iraq.

Israel are essentially going into lockdown as of ten minutes ago.

Bloody great(!) more worrying news to distract from what our own government are up to.

All very worrying. When’s Trumps address? Just says he’s going to make a statement (which will be full of nonsense but I want to see it).

I believe it's 10pm their time - I'm watching Agenda Free TV so they'll cover it. I was starting to feel sleepy. Not so much now....

It's at 3:00 a.m. our time. I expect he'll be boasting as usual about the biggest bombs and so on!

I'm so angry that Americans voted for this ignorant warmonger.
