Just heard this in live interview with Defence Secretary.
Apparently they can reach us in 4 hours.
Are they lying??

Like Israel wants to obliterate Palestine?

Israel obliterated the terrorists in gaza.

@BelBridgethe pp is right re the IRGC, if you’re in the UK that’s on their list too.

Amira83 · 26/03/2026 16:15

Even if they did hit UK, the government wouldnt do anything apart from call a meeting. They caused it after all

Gloriia · 26/03/2026 16:15

If they do launch ballistic missiles at the UK will we have to go cap in hand to Trump or will Nato air defence be sufficient I wonder.

If israel wanted to obliterate palestine it would have, many times over.
Palestine also wishes to obliterate israel by the same logic.
However, unlike israel/palestine where both sides have claims and there is a real conflict to be resolved, there is actually no reason for conflict between iran and israel. Iran's objects to israel's existence for ideological reasons alone..israel has no issue with iran but iran has a massive issue with israel

A cobra meeting stat where Lammy and Starmer would sit scratching their thick heads at surprise at it all.

Oh I didn’t realise we called babies terrorists now. But yeah, keep on with the playbook - nobody’s buying it, which is why Trump and his pal are becoming increasingly desperate.

That is literally how they think. It’s utterly disturbing.

This thread is about Iran, why not pop to citme and start another thread about gaza? As you've brought it up though, blame hamas.

Surely though even if they couldn’t technically do it now, it can’t be long until that technology exists and they will,no doubt,be the first to get it.

You can’t think the IRGC are favourable to the U.K.?

All this “war” is proving is how ineffectual Israel actually is. All that money siphoned from the US and Trump at beck and call and it’s still failing. “Many times over”? Give me a break.

Exactly! The Iran regime is run by suicidal lunatics like many regimes in the ME. As soon as they can, they will.

I was responding to a quote identifying the source of that information as Israel - so it was very clear I was referring to Israel in my response. How is that coy?!

So israel is trying to whip Europe into a frenzy and did so to the president of the us?
Wow, that's quite amazing fro a small country of 10 million people. How do they work this magic?

Why don’t you try not attempting to censor posters because you can’t argue against their logic?

Yes. If you talk to Iranians, it's chilling what the regime is capable of.
Its money and power too. Igrc control everything

No need for conditional, its "have". There have been iranian funded attacks in the UK
But more comfortable to talk about gaza and bash israel.

Israel was criticising Iran for allegedly bombing civilian areas. That is why what Israel did is relevant

I think everyone is pointing out that you are talking about Gaza on a thread about Iran which is actually illogical. But I understand that's a more comfortable place for you.

It is crazy how some hang onto the propaganda about 'war mongering' Israel when they are doing what everyone should be doing, stopping lunatic extremists attacking us. 'Yeah but no but the UN said Israel are baddies' Confused.

It’s Iraq all over again. How many brown people does the UK need to be involved in killing this time before you’ll be satisfied? Still waiting for those weapons of mass destruction!

Any time a Middle Eastern country sneezes the West thinks it can attack.

Gloriia · 26/03/2026 16:28

Iran are executing their own kids. Public executions, yet some seriously think when they have capacity they won't attack the UK?
