Is this the same Iran was enriching uranium for the express purpose of building a nuclear bomb?

Is this the same Iran that was plotting a terrorist attack on a British base in Cyprus?

Is this the same Iran that send missiles against hospitals?

The same Iran which actually has a lot going people in Iran hoping the bombing of military facilities can somehow dethrone a hated Islamist regime?

Wtaf?

@Stripes56

It’s so reckless. It’s all incredibly worrying. I haven’t read anything at all that has anything positive to say about it. Except the “if you don’t want to bomb Iran, you must be pro iran” crowd on here. Which is beyond ridiculous and I can’t even engage with it.

Israel are being led by extremists, The US is sliding into a dictatorship and now we are actually counting on one of the world’s worst regimes to have some kind of measured response! Not a lot of hope.

I feel the same way. It's disastrous...

Both Iran and Israel have agreed to a ceasefire.

Hopefully that is the end of the fighting between these 2 countries and this will be remembered as the 12 day war.

Qatar helped broker the ceasefire by mediating talks with Iran, sources say. Israel agreed to the ceasefire deal on the condition that Iran stop its attacks in their country, a senior White House official told CNN. Iran agreed to those terms, the source said.

I am horrified by the killing in Gaza, but I have to say, I find the thought of that murderous monster Khamenei cowering and trembling with fear absolutely delicious. It’s all fun and giggles when girls are being blinded and raped to death for the crime of showing their hair, but it’s not so amusing now, eh?

I spent six months in Iran last year, work related. It's not what people think, I travelled extensively. In Tehran I'd estimate 30% of women never wore any form of hair covering, just jeans and t-shirts mainly.
I spoke with a lot of Iranians, there isn't a great number of foreigners in the country some I had some novelty value. There is some dissatisfaction with the government mainly regarding the sanctions that show no sign of being removed but everyone seems to hold Khameini in the highest regard.
The academics I spoke with said the country was rapidly progressing in terms of personal freedom. It certainly isn't Afghanistan. The idea that people are going to rise up and overthrow the government as a result of this military action is ridiculous propaganda to justify the use of force.

Great news about the ceasefire.
Lets hope both countries keep to it 🤞

I'm staying away from the news because I simply cannot take it but delighted to read those updates.

I'm sorry to say that it appears that Iran have violated the ceasefire

Israel has vowed to strike targets in the “heart of Tehran” after Iran violated a ceasefire agreement by launching a new missile attack.

The Israeli military said two ballistic missiles were launched from Iran this morning, forcing civilians into bomb shelters once again as sirens rang out in northern Israel.

Israel Katz, the defence minister, said he had instructed the IDF to “respond forcefully” to the ceasefire violation by launching strikes against targets in Tehran.

Why would Iran do that after agreeing a ceasefire? It makes no sense to me.

"We resolve not to let US/Israeli criminal aggressions and malign policies against Iran create division between us and the brotherly countries of the region"

Let that sink in. The Muslim Brotherhood speaks for itself.

Iran claimed they didn't so im guessing there was a miscommunication with orders as they clearly did. But by claiming they didnt i think they do want the ceasefire to hold. They have more to lose than Israel does if the war continues.

And just now. Trump has said both Israel and Iran have violated the ceasefire. What a morning

Donald Trump says both Israel and Iran have violated the ceasefire in the Middle East, Reuters reports.
He adds that Iran's nuclear capacities are "gone" and says Tehran will never rebuild its nuclear programme.
Trump says he's "not happy" with Israel and Iran, before adding he is "really unhappy" with Israel.
We'll bring you more from the US president as we get it.

Whatsinanamehey · 24/06/2025 11:49

Why is Trump really unhappy with Israel? Doesn't make sense they were working together on striking Iran. Strange.

ComeAsYouAreAsAFriend · 24/06/2025 12:17

NY Times reported that Iran's missiles struck just before ceasefire was agreed. Who knows. Apparently Trump now saying to Israel to bring their pilots home and don't drop any more bombs.

I just saw him talking to reporters before boarding his plane ...wow!

He is just as angry with Israel as with Iran, maybe more so.

He said both sides broke the ceasefire though maybe not intentionally.

Typical Trump bluntness, "We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don't know what the fuck they're doing".

I think it has got rather confusing because Iran did send missiles into Israel just before the ceasefire was due to begin.

But Israel are also accusing them of sending more after the ceasefire had started.

YourOnMute · 24/06/2025 13:05

Let's hope both don't want to anger US and will stop

6 months and only 30 % of women weren't head to toe in coverings. Thats not a flex. That's disgusting

Iranians don't even like their own country. Israel is doing them a favour

Makes you wonder when the shit hits the fan, can you trust these brainwashed people who clearly are not on our side to support us or attack us?

This is common sense? Or Inflammatory?

It maybe inflammatory language, but I agree with the crux of it. Do I trust Iran? Absolutely not. I won't trust any theocratic government.
