Israel’s Strikes Leave Iran Reeling Amid Escalating Conflict

[connda]

The game right now is "quid pro quo."

Israel and Iran punching each other, although the story in Western media will always be, "Israel is destroying Iran without suffering a scratch."  You know, the same media that runs the stories that, "Russia is losing the Ukraine conflict badly." 

The lesson here - you can't trust main-stream media or whatever is coming out from state actors on either side of a conflict.  You have to use multiple independent sources of information to scratch the surface of factual reality.
As the old saying goes, "The first casualty of war is truth." Or believe anything you want.  Truth is fungible. Sadly.

Oh goodie!  It looks like Trump is gonna take the US to war in Iran.  He "signaled" in an ABC interview that "it's possible we could get involved."  You gotta read between the line with this dude. Cui bono.  Who benefits.  If Trump and the wealthy can make money - consider it a done deal.  Conquer Iran, take over their oil resources, build bases in Tehran and up and down the Iranian coast.  It would be a "Big Beautiful War.  Lotsa free oil.  America controlling South West Asia.  Peace and Love and The American Way."  

Sure - why not?  Cue up the Beach Boys with Trump singing McCain's "Bomb Bomb Iran."

Israel is just doing Trump's dirty work and getting away with it, if the USA went in the same way they would be something said.

And Trump went back on the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, back in 2015 known as the nuclear deal, since then things have got worse, and we are where we are now.

Everyone is saying, Bomb them back in the stone age, a look at Gogel, the population of Iran is about 91 million, what about them.

That's a very selective history.

 

Iran hates America due to the overthrow of the democratically elected government in the fifties, the unwavering support for Israel and the sanctions imposed by the USA.

How is he helping? He's done nothing yet. It remains to be seen if and when the USA not Trump will go to the aid of their ally Israel their war against their mutual foe Iran.

Consider the mentality of the people you answer.

 

They’re lost in space.

Still haven’t figured out the problem isn’t with the population.  It’s with the regime and leadership.

 

A regime made stronger by Obama and Biden.

 

“Israel is doing Trump’s dirty work”?

 

Where did you get that valuable piece of information?  Jake Tapper, Maddow or Joy Behar.

 

Keep listening!

"Israel is destroying Iran without suffering a scratch."

 

What a sick post, its like you are enjoying Israel civilians being targeted by the terrorists. Western media never made that claim why lie about something like that?

 

in fact they did carry the reports that US officials (Steve Wikoff) said there would also be mass casualty events in Israel too. Israel air defense is good but not perfect.

 

Never mind, you got a like for your false information, you must be extremely happy.

 

Jordan and the US have also been helping to knock out the Iranian drones. The facts however are that Iran has been decimated and Israel has complete air superiority to do what it wants there.

TV analysts are now speculating that Iran just shot its wad on the ballistic missile strike they made on Israel

 

This so called war is typical of the fights with the cowardly terrorists. They have been bombed back to the military stone age so they retaliate by killing a few old civilians.

 

Another wave of strikes is now ongoing. Iranian air bases are gone, they have no air defenses, its essentially over.

 

Iran should surrender, but like Hamas, they are a cult of hate and death so its going to be how long it takes to destroy their country.

 

OIl is next.

 

I don't think it is Israels goal to destroy Iran.  I think their goal is regime change.  if they can eliminate the radical hateful regime run my the mullahs it is possible Iran might once again become a peaceful member nation as they were prior to the revolution.  The next few days will be interesting.  

 

Meanwhile I doubt oilfields are the targets.  I suspect they will continue to destroy anything remotely associated with development of nukes or missiles.

You watch a european or US TV news channel and one would wrongfully see and think Iran is destroyed, 

 

You watch Al jazeera and you would see all the damage inflicted to Israel and many areas totally distroyed. 

 

As long as america continues to support Israel and refuse an independant palestinian state, there will always be wars and trouble all over. But why stop it ? It generates trillions in arms sales globally. So who wants peace ? Not america or Europe for sure...

 

I don't think the USA or Europe opposes an independent state or ever has.
