The Middle East Thread

Did Israel-US expect Iran would dare such an audacious attack, specially since their deterrence was collapsing across the region?

It’s unbelievable how the western media reports on Israel compared to other countries. What’s happening in Lebanon is an invasion not a ‘limited ground operation’.

Also worth noting that Iran hasn’t invaded another country or started a war for centuries, unlike America and Israel who constantly do both.

Yes Iran has proxies, as America does, but they have never launched an invasion like Israel are doing now, and US/UK did in Iraq and Afghanistan.

A nuclear attack is far more likely to come from Israel or US (the only country with previous)

Israel had warning and there were detected no secondary explosions as far as I know. I doubt aircraft was hit, but we’ll see.

He knows exactly what he’s doing. Impossible to get get into any political leadership in the west without declaring support for Israel

As far as we know, the only one who actually died in the Iranian attack, was this insanely unlucky Palestinian in Jenin (or possibly Jericho, sources a bit unclear). Just sad.

You’ve also got this group of associates, that are actually the ones paying for your pint at the pub and your weekly rent, and they have lots of their own friends that you are trying to impress.

This group of associates have the same religious views as your dick head mate, and although dick head mate and associates have never met, the fact they share a religion and are probably 20th generation relatives is everything. According to them, nothing trumps blood and religion.

In the end the prospect of not being part of the in-crowd means you’ll sit there politely and occasionally tap dick head on the shoulder in the hope he’ll pipe down, but never actually do anything to stop him. Its better to be gutless than friendless.

Dick head will invite you in a week’s time to the pub so he can do it all again and you’ll oblige.

I see Starmer has ‘completely condemned’ Iran, but nothing of the sort to say about Israel invading Lebanon, or genociding Gaza.

Fucking coward

Does Healey’s statement that British forces “played their part in attempts to prevent further escalation in the Middle East” imply that they were active participants in interception efforts?

Yes they were, along with Jordan and the US.

Ohhh!!! So the British were intercepting Israeli aircraft??

I don’t think that is quite what he was referring to…

(they also stated they will target all US bases in the region since they are a “softer target”, just to make it even more fun ).

Israel is going to attack Iran with a crushing strike and the US is going to help them. Iran was warned by the US, Iran knew this. Iran did what it did anyway.
I’m tired of these irresponsible games by maximalists with a bad hand.

Honestly, what an experience for the passengers and the pilots.
Unfortunately, it wasn’t fireworks. I hope for Iran’s sake that those launchers were not in silos but far away on trucks, because this is a super easy geolocation.

I saw it somehow was a headline that the Tory conference “gasped” when he revealed that his daughter’s middle name is Thatcher (poor girl).

Same bullshit that the American administration have been coming out with for a year. Great success they’ve had with that approach :roll_eyes:

This thread perfectly explains the best thing about X. Instant news and footage. Would be wrong to ban it here IMHO.
