I agree.
The UK economy is clearly in a terrible state so this is just what the UK government want. Why is it that they seem to be able to find £££ for wars but not for their own citizens?
The whole situation is sickening.

Well, no, that’s not what I or the PP were saying.

I don’t think Starmer will be welcoming this development at all, but that doesn’t mean he won’t use it as opportunistic cover.

AnnaBalfour · 22/06/2025 07:47

Iran and the Middle East, Gaza etc are all related and interconnected so it is relevant.

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.

Utter bullshit propaganda.

Lioncub2020 · 22/06/2025 07:47

If Iran's nuclear facilities are valid targets for the Americans presumably the American nuclear facilities are valid targets now. The Americans are the biggest bunch of hypocrites in the world. There is only one country that has ever used Nuclear weapons.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock since Labour were elected, you should at least have an idea of what those matters are.

We are, we are talking about the US and Israel invading Iran. How can you discuss this situation if you’re claiming no one is allowed to discuss 2 out of the 3 countries involved?
Your own comment was “They haven’t destroyed other countries” and now apparently no one was ever talking about the US or Israel.
Why are you denying your own posts?

The US and Israel haven't "invaded" Iran.

The US has bombed 7 bells out of their nuclear programme without any help from Israel who don't have the ordinance to do that.

No-one is marching into Tehran waving the Star & Bars or a Magen David so don't make silly comments.

You're getting tiresome now. You're just derailing the thread for your own agenda banging on about Gaza and Palestine. The thread is specifically about the US strikes on Iran. Just that. Not Gaza. Not Palestine.

Utter bullshit propaganda.

It's complete non-sense. The challenge is getting the knowledge to do it not building the facilities. They can rebuild facilities in a short time. I would be amazed if they didn't have alternative facilities already.

AnnaBalfour · 22/06/2025 07:50

Trumps own intel confirmed Iran weren’t actively pursuing nuclear weapons and were at least 3 years off from being able to do so, so Israel saying that they’d now be delayed by at least 3 years from developing a nuclear weapon is redundant.

They’ve done this because they know the blind sheep won’t see through it and say ‘oh yes this was necessary, well done!’

Not really or are you alluding to clearing up the mess the Tories left after 14 years?

TranceNation · 22/06/2025 07:51

I think the US would have taken this action on Iran whether it was Trump or Harris as president. Both US parties are aligned with Israel and the democrats have with recent presidents shown they are never shy of military intervention in regional conflicts.

You left out the bit about the reason for their use and the USA issuing a dire warning the target of those nuclear weapons that hell on earth was about to visit them if they didn’t surrender. Which they ignored.

This. The Israeli government are evil fascists but they get away with it because they target Muslim people.

Perhaps you are right and perhaps I am. It's clearly impossible to be sure.

What is clear is that the UK governments have absolutely not been strong advocates for peace in recent violence, the opposite, in fact.

Afghanistan.
Iraq.

Is your memory incredibly short? We don’t have to go very far back to see evidence of the US chucking it’s willy around, destroying other counties and displacing civilians.

As far as I know Afghanistan and Iraq are still there and haven't been razed to the ground.

ArtTheClown · 22/06/2025 07:52

Can you stop salivating over this? It’s obscene.

Not at all. The Iranian regime having its nuclear ambitions demolished is a positive.

Yes, I have. And I already made the point but apparently I was wrong. And then it turns out it was about national matters after all, exactly like the ones I raised.

Of course what the other poster says it entirely relevant. Do you not understand what has been going on over the past couple of years?

Many Iranians, especially women, are celebrating this. Do none of you know how oppressed they are? This could be a good thing for them. Take out the god awful current regime.

I’m yet to see this said by any reputable source.

Pro-Israeli accounts have also shared disinformation online, mainly by recirculating old clips of protests and gatherings in Iran, falsely claiming that they show mounting dissent against the government and support among Iranians for Israel's military campaign.

It can be rationalised all you like. It doesn't change the fact that only one country has ever pressed the button on a nuclear weapon.

Who told you that? The Daily Mail? I
ran does not have nuclear weapons but Israel does. Israel has been saying that Iran is just about to have nuclear weapons for the last 30 years.

Fuckety do just catching up.

All we need now is for China to invade Taiwan.

What a time in history. Scary stuff
