Wrong thread. But what I said applies universally. What do you think?

[normal rules]

Iran have fired multiple drone and cruise missiles to Israel. Biden is addressing his nation from the Oval Office soon.
Iran were warned.
Interesting to see what the US response will be.

Wipe Iran from the map, the world wouldn’t miss them (paging BRR to defend Iran)

Israel did blow up the Iranian embassy in Syria though, so they can't be surprised.

Everyone knows Hezbollah and Hamas work with Iran, it's a whole different story actually attacking Iran and being surprised when they retaliate.

[Iberian Red]

This situation could escalate very quickly and badly.

[DonnyOsmond]

Odds on Israel retaliating?

I think you'll be lucky to get anyone take you on with that bet

[SydneyRover]

Looks as though Iran launched a face saving effort for the home crowd and has intimated it won't launch more.

Interesting to see which countries have the right to defend themselves and which countries don't.

Yes, it is interesting to go back to page 1 of this thread and see the reaction to the Iran backed Oct 7th Hamas attack was

That’s a fair point but it could still be argued as a precise act of self-defence. Rather than what Iran sent.

I don’t think I’ve seen any recognition from the anti-Israel crowd of Hezbollah even attacking Israel. Are they freedom fighters fighting persecution too?

Even more interesting to see the response to this weeks attacks by hundreds of illegal Israeli settlers on Palestinian villagers in the West Bank, murdering locals and setting their homes on fire. And the eviction of Christians from an area of Jerusalem they have lived in for centuries.

[tyke1962]

I think Iran's nuclear capability is going to be reduced to rubble as a consequence of this attack .

I would imagine that's something the US would be happy to back and probably take part in .

You are spot on with that Tyke that is the very least that will happen, and it needs to be done because if it isn’t  the Pariah state will use them .I would take out a few dozen military sites as well, I bet they are Kacking themselves in Tehran, it just shows how feeble their military is!we will now see the Israelis end the opposition in Gaza and South Lebanon.

They are certainly pushing boundaries that don’t endear them to fair minded decent people.
They can’t follow this path for much longer surely?

They are getting away with all this because the Large Liberal part of Israel’s population has been reigned in towards the right by the events of 7 October.

[Bristol Red Rover]

Reigned in by the extreme propaganda there for sure,  but also because the US, Germany, UK etc are supporting Israel in being severely insane.

Anytime extreme Islam is exterminated is fine by me .

I don't much have to like those carrying it out to support it .

[Bristol Red Rover]

What about extreme Jews, Christians, Hindus,  Buddhists?

[DonnyOsmond]

Is there such a thing as an extreme Buddhist?

Ask the Tamils or Rohingya.

I believe Netanyaho was deliberately trying to escalate things with that attack. Why else would he not have informed his American allies of the plan first?

[Bristol Red Rover]

There were a fair few major explosions in Israel from the attack. I wonder what was hit? <added> I'm hearing that one hit target was an airbase, which makes sense given that is where the attack on the Iranian Consulate in Damascus came from. <\added>

I heard the cost of air defence just for that one attack was around $1 billion. If so, Israel won't be sitting back. Escalation is already a concern within the nations involved, but it could easily draw in others.

[Sprotyrover]

They already have, Jordan and Iraq have had their Airspace violated and missiles have been shot down over their territory. I doubt CD either country is happy with that!

Yes, though I meant beyond these, and the UK, US, Yemen.

Still, how much the US, and its lapdog, further gets I evolved will be important. The US has a fair bit of hardware close to Iran, and bodies. All will become legitimate targets if the US acts beyond being on the perifery.

Yanks still have to get their pound of flesh for the hostage Crisis of 1979
