The US has bombed Fordow and other sites.

The popularity comment is rather ironic considering that Israel are currently engaged in multiple wars with their neighbours in the ME.
Iran will not become engaged in war as a direct result of Israeli and US actions.
We should all be fearful, not cheering.

The biggest nuclear threat is Putin (Not Russia, the country, Putin, the (mad)man)

Well, North Korea HAS the weapons, and has made numerous direct threats to bomb the US.

Yet nothing has happened to Kimmy . . .

🤔

Strange how they only seem attack nations that "may have", "are believed to" . .

I really despair at the stupidity on display.
There is very little critical thinking nowadays, the population has been successfully dumbed down. Mind you, perhaps that's just human beings in general, because these things are cyclical.

Of course. The alternative Iran having a nuclear weapon is what you have to balance against.

The issue doesn’t just go away by itself. But gets worse whether it’s a couple of years or not.

This is entirely laughable - there are many threats to the world.

They flew with mid air refuelling from Guam - didn't go via Diego Garcia.

Gaza is not a country

You can’t wish this Iranian threat away though. And longer it’s left the greater the threat. So you leave it a few years and Iran is further emboldened.

Why would that be a good thing?

💯 agree - absolute madness

There is no evidence that they have nuclear weapons. They were in peaceful negotiations with the US when the Israelis decided to strike them (probably because they didn't want an agreement to be made as they were already intent on an attack).
Apart from that, N Korea has nuclear weapons. Have they used them? No but they have (so far) put other countries off attacking them. As I said, if anything, this will embolden Iran to make a nuclear weapon to act as a deterrent to Israel and others.

Palestine is also not a country - and hasn't been since around 460BCE

All we need now is China to potter onto Taiwan and the bingo card is complete.

Any analysis on the stocks and shares of armament producers? Some people will be rubbing their little hands in glee as long as none of "the leaders" go rogue and light the wrong sort of touch paper.

The next "superweapon" will probably be nicknamed "The Clusterfuck".

I am the very definition of a grumpy old woman this morning.

Can you point out one poster who is actively cheering on the Iranian regime? Please do quote them.

I have only read comments criticising the Israeli and US violence and concern for the ramifications.

You’ll need accurate insight to make conclusions. I’d say U vd L and other G7 leaders recognise the threat.

All are agreed on Iran not getting weapons. Mners think it’ll be ok, but I’m not sure where that certainty comes from.

Why are you certain the threat isn’t there?

Palestine is not a country

The majority of the world recognise Palestine as a country. 75% of UN member states recognise Palestine.

This is the point of the attack really - it's been well known for over a decade that the US would intervene if Iran got close enough to getting nukes in order to stop them reaching that point. The talks that were going on were a sign of concern things might be going that way - Iran hasn't allowed inspections for a long time now and several other countries were getting antsy.

Attacking a country that already has nukes is a very different prospect due to mutually assured destruction. Thats why every country has said Iran can't be allowed to get nukes. The Iranian rhetoric and objectives of the Ayatollah regime mean that Iran using them would have been a genuine prospect and would have given them a threat to use against every country in the world.

Countries who already have that threat can't really be touched. I suspect there would have been US action in N Korea at some point otherwise.

Read up on your history.

It was a country, now it's an occupied country.

And I think you will find pushing out 700,000 Palestinians from their ancestral homelands through terror in 1948 to adjoining countries plus the legacy of western colonialism have simmered the pot - Israel is far from a clean pair of hands in regional instability but loves to shout victim whever they can.

Of course I am not 100% certain. I am not in Iran and am not a weapons inspector!
From everything that I have read though, and even what the Americans said recently, they are not about to produce a nuclear weapon. As I said above, N Korea (another enemy of the West) has nuclear weapons but does not use them. They have, however, prevented the US, etc from attacking them.

What we do know is that Netanyahu and his government are bloody thirsty liars, intent on destroying Iran and the regime and will make up any amount of lies to persuade the US to support them. Did you watch the video I linked to?

Why on earth are you listening to U vd L?
Since when do these people tell the truth?

I agree with you!

There is a stray 'not' in my comment above.

147 countries in the world recognise Palestine as a sovereign nation. Noticeably absent are the UK, the US, Canada to name a few. But it’s irrelevant whether it’s a country or a state, genicide is happening there at the hands of Israel.
I have a friend in Dubai and she is very concerned this morning due to proximity and uncertainty regarding any radiation from the bombsites. Dubai is 50km across the water from Iran.
