His chief stated aim was regime change. I heard the words come out of his mouth just after the US attack. Trump and some of his team clearly thought that, if they murdered the supreme leader, the Iranians would rise up and remove their leaders. They even begged them to do this- see S Graham, for example. This has not happened and there are no signs of it happening, at least at present. On the contrary, they appear to have been taken aback by the strength of the Iranian response, despite the fact that the Iranians gave very clear warnings that they would retaliate if attacked. They are now in a situation where they have no strategy whatsoever and no plan. They also don't have huge stockpiles of weapons, especially as they are also fighting a proxy war with Russia and supplying Ukraine with weapons too.

We've already chatted about the Epstein files and I've explained why there is no public evidence already. 🙄

There is no strength in response.

Iranian missile and drone launches are at 10% of what they were day one.

air defences are gone. US has total air superiority.

the republican guard has no houses left

when they all met to decided who was going to be their next dictator - the building with them all in was blown up.

it’s over.

their entire Navy has been sunk. The entire Navy.

What do you think the USA will use UK air bases for, if not 'bombing'?

The USA uses it for bombing, the UK is not doing the bombing

I would have been happy if Starmer had continued to refuse access, but understand the difficult position the UK finds itself in.

SingleSexSpacesInSchools · 04/03/2026 23:15

Just in case anyone thinks Starmer is anything but the biggest embarrassment to our country -

HMS Dragon now will not sail until NEXT WEEK

thats at least 9 days AFTER all this started.

the RN offered to move a Destroyer to Aki weeks ago.

Starmer refused because he’s a twat.

now the country looks like a shambles. An embarrassment. Not through lack of brave sailors.

entirely through a lack of any leadership whatsoever.

the May elections and his removal cannot come soon enough.

Clearly can’t find anything of substance to say. Or any criticism of the position.

Someones been at the coolaid.

They'd be at a bigger risk if the warmongers Badenoch or Farage took Britain into the illegal invasion of a sovereign country by a hostile invader.

Where have I read that script before?

Assuming you're not in the UK/British? You don't use we/our, always the UK.

We are involved as your post admits. Not being involved was never an option. We have many interests and people in the region.

It is very clear to anyone with eyes and ears, including the Israeli and US leadership that this war is very far from over. I wish it had never started but the Israelis were insistent and Trump acquiesced to their demands.

Stationing a destroyer off the coast of Cypress when you KNEW a war was likely. Is sensible to protect British people. This is nothing about being in a war. It’s defensive.

what do you think the Navy is for otherwise?

Why did Sir TwatFace not do that two weeks ago?

he’s an embarrassment.

his job is to look after British people and interests and he didn’t.

I’ve heard the only ships Starmer has stopped crossing the chanel This year is…. HMS Dragon.

And yes we/the UK had to get involved because of interests and safety of people.

Absolutely it’s very very clear.

destroy the Iranian Regime and any danger of being nuked in the next 50’years.

mission accomplished I reckon.

Luckily, Trump told us his last adventure totally destroyed Iran's nuclear capability.

DdraigGoch · 04/03/2026 23:39

1dayatatime · 04/03/2026 21:50

Trump's motives for the attack on Iran have been publicly stated if you look:

Destroying Iran's missile capabilities;
Annihilating Iran's navy;
Preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons;
Ensuring the regime can't continue to arm, fund or direct "terrorist armies" outside its borders.
https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/why-us-attack-iran-trump-administration/

Now you might strongly disagreed with these motives or question if they are achievable (I know I do) but you cannot fail to see what Trump's motives are or question if they exist because they have been publicly disclosed.

Equally to suggest that this is a distraction attempt from the Epstein files publication is a batshit conspiracy theory unless you have any actual evidence or links to back it up.

Has anyone bothered to tell Trump that those are his motives? Because he seems unsure.

We shouldn't be relying on warships to protect bases on land. Warships are far too valuable for this work. We need to look seriously at protecting air bases with their own drone countermeasures.

I don't see anyone saying that. It's not a case of wanting to get involved, we were involved the moment it started.

PigletJohn · 04/03/2026 23:45

He changes his story at least once a day.

Remember he said he had some replacement leaders in mind who he wanted to take over?

And then said they had been bombed and killed?

Those are the motives that Trump himself stated. Now of course he may have different motives next week and the week after. But those are the motives he stated this week and what we have to assume for the moment.

Just to add to the HMS Deagon fiasco.

This is the first time since 1799 when there has been no Royal Navy presence in the Mediterranean, which considering Trump has been threatening an attack on Iran for weeks is a complete fiasco.

Added to which HMS Dragon won't be ready to leave Portsmouth until next and then depending on weather will take around 7 days to get to Cyprus.

This is a complete embarrassment.

Some may be supportive of USA/Israel's actions after the fact, but thats not the same as wanting our forces to join in with strikes.

Your use of language stood out. They, not us.

Don't tell me you take these blokes with muscles bigger than their brains seriously. I can't see from your links what qualfies them to give military opinions. They seem to be just reporting what the US gov says. The US gov says a lot of things that are clearly untrue and Trump changes his mind constantly.
If you genuinely think that Iran has been beaten, can you explain why the war is continuing? Surely the US would simply declare victory and leave.
But that's not happening is it? Slight flaw in your theory.

If you want better sources of information, there are several available.

Mission Accomplished! They just need to pose in front of a banner saying that and it will be done.

Seriously though, I think the Iranian regime losing is not the same as the Americans/Israelis winning.
