Yikes, Israel might have just attacked Iran!

[SomeWomanSomewhere]

This is NOT GOOD news!

Israel has declared a state of emergency, at least six explosions in Tehran.

This is seriously unfunny!

Israel has ZERO strategic depth - Iran has plenty. Nukes: see above, reverse!

I don't think Israel or Iran should have it and other countries should work towards reducing their nuclear capabilities too.

Iran doesn’t have great air defense (it’s probably better than the UK’s non-existent defense) but they do have some defence.
On other forums there is film from Iran showing Israeli spy drones flying around cities uninterrupted. But they do have Russian produced AA missiles.

Saying that, i don't think other Nuclear countries can force Iran not to have it. That's just hypocritical.

the UK has a history of colonialism.

The US is made up of colonists who took the land from natives.

so, im really curious as to why they/we should be allowed to have nuclear weapons and not Iran?

You. Cannot. Be. Serious.

It’s so unfair, poor Iran.

This is getting more and more ridiculous. Maybe Netanyahu has political reasons for the timing. So what? Politician is political is shock news. Doesnt mean the previous 40+ years are a figment of anyone's imagination and given governments of all persuasions have been concerned about Iran, as have international bodies you really are clutching at straws. Its getting embarassing.

Where is it reported they denied it? I checked BBC feed again and can't see any updates saying they have.

All it says is this hasn't been independently verified.

Hopefully Netanyahu is sheltering in a bunker beneath a hospital somewhere the Iranians would never dare to strike. Still, their reputation in the international community would be utterly shredded if they did !

I think these people actually ARE serious?!

It’s a poor attempt to bait someone into a response then spring their superior intellect trap.

I was asked for my opinion so I gave it. You don't have to agree with me.

I don't know; one of them jumped the shark a few moments ago.

Yes they bloody well can. That's why we have international treaties and global organisations and a system of monitoring. Its called the world order. Its far from perfect buts its avoided an all out world war for 80 yrars.

I don't mean serious people 😄

I don't think you've got much fear of that.

It's like being on the playground on here.

It’s not a piece of cake at a birthday party though. What you’re after could have serious impact on the world.

Why would you want that?

I don’t.

I also don’t imagine there are many countries or leaders upset at what has happened today.

That we are agreed on. I last had discussions of this calibre when I was a child.

Don't you think you are also contributing towards the playground type posts?

I’m completely serious.

Donald fucking Trump is the American president for fuck sake!!!

Ideally no one should have nuclear weapons; but let’s not pretend the UK, the US and Israel are trustworthy countries.

I don't think many leaders will be happy to see Iran and Israel at war.

Well apparently they can.

My salad days,
When I was green in judgment, cold in blood,
To say as I said then! But, come, away:
Get me ink and paper, I’ll to write
My heart’s desires.

It's funny how people want to refer to laws and treaties when it comes to Iran but have sat quietly for the past year and half while Israel have made a mockery of them. Rules for thee, not for me.
