I’m not at all surprised. Iran’s ballistic missiles are not smart weapons, which incidentally also kill innocent civilians in large numbers.

 

All the more reason to wish sense to prevail and both sides step back from all our war.

Iran can step back now by promising to destroy its nuclear capability.

Used as human shields by your avatarites. Or "not innocent" civilians.

Sort of like Hamas, they prefer death of even their own.

 

Have you seen the videos of folks getting out of Tehran? And the honchos fleeing? Guess Israel lost its chance of targeting civilians on those traffic jams.

 

Israel is killing soldiers, Iran is killing babies. Typical.

Aren't those aircraft refuelers being sent to the Gulf states to support US and UK aircraft if they are obliged to defend  Bahrain, Oman, UAE and KSA? Iran did threaten to close the Strait of Hormuz.

That is correct. 25 refueling planes en route to a party 🥳 near Tehran.

Meanwhile, rumors are having it that Mr. Uber Rag-head is on the run 🏃‍♂️ or already in Russia 🇷🇺.

Perhaps, Iran should focus direct attacks with a vast quantity of remaining ballistic missiles on "Israels Nuclear Facilities". That would be Tit -for Tat.

It could overwhelm the Air Defense System, the Iron Dome, being Davids sling etc...  

However, they appear to be under self imposed restraint thus not widening Regional & Global escalation.

Iran does not need a nuclear bomb.

The bombs are currently in place, on home turf.

Head in sand apologist. Iran's capabilities are decimated, nothing to do with them holding back under self imposed restraint

I’m not sure how your ill informed socialism nonsense relates to the thread.

 

I absolutely accept the Iranian regime and its proxies are antisemites.

Eliminationist are found on both sides of this conflict.

 

Sure, you can fine “eliminationists” on both sides, just like you can find people on both sides in the US that support killing and rioting to promote theiragenda. 

 

But it is the official state position of Iran that they want to eliminate Israel and the US.

Head in sand with you.

Trying watching "Al Jazeera", as the leading "non-censored" source of news being broadcast out of this region.

Albeit, it is Qatari based, but a  "Worldwide News Site" and perhaps with real credibility than the "BBC, CNN, MSNBC" etc..

Perhaps they should, but they can kill a lot more Jews by focusing on population centers. 

 

Unfortunately for Iran, Israel does not hide their military facilities in population centers.

You appear to be narrow minded, and without any empathy.

 

I take Offence "That you call me a "Terrorist", for reporting contravening dialogue that you weren't not perhaps unaccustomed to.  

 

Leads me to you are a piece of "Sh*te" and perhaps a bully,

Apologize in advance, if you turn out to be a nice, loved guy.. 

 

Journalism is supposed to a balanced reporting from all parties involved, "Al Jazeera"  does that.

Israel has had nuclear weapons since the sixties. 

 

If they wanted to eradicate Iran, they could.

[Paul Catton]

Eradicating Iran with either, any  "singular"  or a any "Nuclear Bombardment' would have more than significance adverse reactions than being isolated to Iran itself.

Personally, reckon "Benjamin" has now possibly bitten off more than he can chew.

The fracas "is all religion based" and tolerances are being discarded.

"Zealots" of any and all religions, need to be curtailed and have the general populace dictate conservative norms.

If Israel was to be successful in destroying the Fordow and Natanz facilities which is deep in the mountains and under dozens of meters of reinforced concrete, they will need US 30,000 lbs bunker-busting bombs. Hard to understand the thinking behind this war as Israel will not be able to destroy the nuclear facilities and this unprovoked war will only accelerates Iran pursuit of a nuclear deterent. It is Netanyahu's political calculation to stay in power. It will back fired on him. The way forward to serious diplomacy. Trump has handle the diplomacy very poorly.

It is grave violation of the UN Charter and International law to use force against a sovereign country. Of course in Maga world, conforming to law and order is a woke concept.
