Iran is firing missiles into heavily populated Israeli towns and have abandoned the pretence of targeting anything military.....this is just pure terrorism and does make you think what would happen if Iran did manage to develop a nuclear weapon.

Just hoping more of the missile launch sites can be taken out and this terrorist regime falls.

Here is a new subject re civilian targets. A new " TRUTH" from that fella who never lies. ( img attached).

No mention of military targets there at all.

Having been part of the discussion I can see what you posted didn’t match what anyone else was saying.

As for not going round in circles and moving on from the biggest / major discussion I don’t see why everyone can’t agree on the IRGC being brutal and exporters of terror. That’s enough to base a discussion on and it can move forward.

My posts do reflect the thread
as I have already commented. The posts are here to see I can’t help it if you don’t see them.

My going round in circles comment entirely relates to your comments on not seeing the posts.

As an aside, and relating to your last para, the endless efforts on here to seek evidence for a pps post do not accurately reflect your wording of
’the IRGC being brutal and exporters of terror’. That is not what they said.

How something is worded is crucial and has been the point of the long discussion

Accuracy and truth in wording is everything. I would have thought that was blatantly obvious but this is simply repeating myself and the comments of others. Nothing to do with you not seeing posts just from today. The initial point of you tagging me.
I think I’ve exhausted all attempts now

There are IRGC supporters here ? Where ?

I didn’t say they were here.

Though they could be for all I know.

Yup. Clipped from the Sky news feed.

So he is repeating his claim that the Regime has been changed. And now he appears to want to do collective punishment on all 90 million people there.

So admitting they will deliberately and with intent go about committing war crimes and genocide !

Yes ik what was said, the pp has been posted off the thread pretty much with repeated flat earth name calling etc.

As before no one can be certain. Not even the poster who said it was ‘plain untrue’. That’s not provable either.

The poster hasn't been posted off the thread. Can you not see that either !!
They've made excellent points including how inflammatory lies and propaganda can inflame opinion and hate

If it’s not true
don’t post it
Easy

Im done with this line of questioning it’s getting really pointless now

Thanks. It is just unbelievable that people support this madness.

It's also an astoundingly bad situation when the first thought on seeing a social media post from POTUS is to ask "is that real?"

Given what we know of their requirements for a ceasefire they surely know full well Iran will not agree.
Admitting to their intention is a threat which will only escalate matters more
Trumps an idiot who has no concept of diplomacy or democracy which we’ve seen time and time again.

Has Netanyahu made any comments. I haven't seen anything recently.

The bold part. That is not how evidence works. While it is possible to prove a negative under certain circumstances, the Burden of Proof , by convention, is on the person making the claim. Because proving a negative under most situations is not possible.

If I say I have a pet elephant in the kitchen, you can't prove that claim to be negative. The burden of proof is upon me.

Stirabout · 30/03/2026 14:23

.From the Independent

’Thousands of US troops have arrived in the region after Trump threatened an invasion of the strategic Kharg island in the Persian Gulf, which holds 90 per cent of Iran’s oil exports.
Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said Tehran had received messages from intermediaries expressing Washington’s willingness to negotiate, but said the proposals were asking too much.’

Clearly both sides don’t agree on the progress of negotiations…again

Even if an agreement is reached. Any word from Israel on whether that will end Israels invasion of Lebanon ?

Kharg Island: Why Trump wants to seize tiny oil hub in Persian Gulf

The island holds 94 per cent of Iran’s oil exports and could choke off the country’s economy for years

No one knows for certain. Not you, or the people who think it’s Russia or someone other than Iran.

I don’t think Israel will be departing from Lebanon anytime soon, irrespective of whatever deals America or Iran might make.

Well Netanyahu has said "buffer zone". I clipped the photo below from Sky just now, and it is not so much accidental damage or whatever now, as Israel have moved their bulldozers and heavy plant in. So intentional targeting with bulldozers.

I think it was very clear they were going to take a piece of Lebanon, and let’s not forget they are still controlling Gaza.

I agree
Whole intention, as with Gaza, is to take land
Just as Netanyahu proposed in Sept 2023

Same old same old
Next stage advertise the land for sale in Israel and move more illegal settlers in
More violence and illegal occupation to come

Don't be silly its a thread about the awful deeds of Israel and how expert opinion is no longer of value unless it happens to align with what you already believe.
