I don’t get the gun ho comment, you do realise the absolute mess left by the Yanks in other parts of the Middle East. And how is it that Trump he can be the worlds police on Iran of which even his own advisors said they did not possess the bomb, yet sides with Putrid and wants to turn the tap off with NATO just like that. It should be left to Israel an Iran fight it out.

While everyone was watching Mytee they sneaked eastbound

Here we go again. It will be interesting to see if we get dragged further into this.

I thought it was “woooop woooop woooop”. Three blasts of the hooter, whistle or whatever.

I see the lady on Sky News is saying “SHtrike” repeadedly and the bloke she is interviewing is overusing “clearly”.

As Charlie Brown sez - ‘good grief!!!’

We await the reply on 4 July?

As someone who doesnt check the tv news often, but uses FC to follow the state of the World, has th US declared war or can I put my head back in the sand?
Acronyms should not be tolerated on FC

Edited. :Oops:

Now what? North Korea, Russia, surely not China after re-fueling & re-arming?

I knew that bringing children into this world was not the brightest move that I have made

The United States has bombed Iran's nuclear facilities.

Iran is furious.

The US is happy.

Israel don't seem particularly bothered.

Very true, I guess their destination could still likely be Guam, they just didn’t mention their little detour to fordow first! Although at the same time do you not think if they were going to bomb three sites they’d use more than three planes as a fail safe? I mean there was speculation that MYTEE was a flight of 6 although nothing confirming that. I don’t want to speculate too much and of course time will tell, but I wonder if there were other aircraft types involved, whether that be the B-52s on DG, or F-18s for CAP and EA-18Gs for EW, there were widespread reports of GPS and cell phone disruptions before the strikes but I’m not clued up enough to know if growlers can do that.
According to recent reports, the Bombers only attacked Fordow - the other two sites were hit by mass Submarine-launched Tomahawk attacks.

But they will be ecstatic under the surface, now that they’ve dragged the US into their argument an argument once started they couldn’t/wouldn’t finish. Yes, Israel have every right to defend itself, but I personally feel they’ve gone too far recently, you can’t repeatedly bomb hospitals, aid stations, civilians, invade other countries and force a massive humanitarian crisis across the region and still try to maintain righteousness.

We will have to see what happens next - will Iran be careful or just dive in without a care.

What's to stop the Iranians from acquiring nuclear weapons from other sources anyway? Putin has the odd one or two on his shelf going spare. Don't rule out Pakistan, India, or for that matter North Korea. All impoverished nations, money talks. Who's to say that the Iranians haven't already acquired one? Just saying....

Ok so Iran now has no nuclear capability- if it ever did!- so Israel and the US can pack up and go home surely - end of the ‘you know what’ swinging contest !

Let’s hope not but why Starmer has to wade in like he is is beyond me, does he not realise that what Israel has been doing for a long time now is completely unjust to what they have being doing to the civilian population.
