Iranian attack hit water desalination plant in Kuwait

Cannot find a link yet but was on BBC as breaking news.

Trump: "The entire country could be taken out in one night. And that night might be tomorrow night."

Hegseth: "Per the president's direction, today will be the largest volume of strikes since day one of this operation. Tomorrow -- even more than today. And then Iran has a choice. Choose wisely, because this president does not play around."

Don't they realise Iran isn't going to respond to threats?

Going by Trump's twisted logic the fiercer the bombing the more free the Iranians will be. It is horrible.

I think we need to wait and see whether Iran agree to a peace deal before Trump's deadline before being able to assess whether the regime does or does not respond to threats.

If that post was a dig below I don’t think the IRGC will care that much about threats to them or the people which is awful and an intractable problem generally.

But I do think protestors were suppressed brutally, unless any pp can show otherwise, I’ll be happy to see what they’re reading on it.

Do you see the regime backing down? They are as crazy as Trump in their own way.

I don't think anyone on this thread has suggested that the protestors were not brutally suppressed? I certainly haven't. But Trump is using them as a pawn in his hideous game.

You didn’t say what you meant in that last line in your pp. Perhaps if you expanded on that it would become clear what you meant by it.

About the Iran regime being as crazy as Trump in its own way? I thought it was clear?

Completely. Trump wants the Iranians to stop being killed by their government so he is going in and killing them with his instead.

It’s the 18.39 already quoted

’These lines sound awfully familiar’

What did you mean?

Trump also today suggested that he wanted to provide the protester with guns but he gave them to the Kurds and they kept them.

Any comments on what Trump said other than 'let's wait and see'?

Can't he just buy some more, in that case?

He is also saying that the Iranian people like the bombing and are asking him to continue

Any comment?

Don't give him ideas.

I wonder how he knows that? Instagram or other SM accounts?

Are you still going with this?

Are you ok?

Why even announce that you have given anyone ammunition to incite or aid a possible uprising? Sounds like you're informing the other side?

Still going with what? That Trump is lying out of his fat backside? It was sarcasm. Do you really think the Iranian people have told him directly that they "like the bombing"?

I am tickety-boo, thank you.

Q: You message has moved from 'the war is coming to an end' to 'we're gonna be bombing Iran to the stone ages.' So which is it?

TRUMP: Can't tell you. I don't know

Why Instagram particularly, a bit like your earlier post?

Who knows to the rest

Any comment on Trump's speech @EasternStandard ?

He has now said "intercepted communications", what ever that means.

"Speaking to reporters from the White House press room, Trump dismissed concerns that targeting Iran’s power grid and civilian infrastructure would punish ordinary Iranians rather than the regime, saying without evidence that US intelligence had intercepts of civilians near active bombing sites urging American forces to continue."

" “Please keep bombing,” Trump quoted intercepted communications as saying, adding: “These are people that are living where the bombs are exploding.” "

And destroying their infrastructure and their historical buildings.
I have read he in fact increasing support for the regime by uniting Iranians against the damage being inflicted on their country.
