Israel is allowed to stop Iran developing nuclear bombs aimed at Israel. End of story.

Antisemitism is moral and just !

Iran is not nearly so poweful as people think. I'm not sure they can sustain a war with Israel and of course, so many innocent people under threat.

It is disgusting that Israel keeps going against everything we believe is moral and just, and getting away with it.

Of course, you can't take the US out of the equation for all the support they have offered...

It’s a terrifying situation. The world is full of power crazed madness at the moment.

Whenever is somebody going to say STOP! What is happening to our beautiful world! It is full of hatred and mad men.

You are right it is mad men who create all the hostility. Israel had a chance for peace talks but would rather wage war.

David49 Apparently the bomb Iran is making is buried deep underground and would be difficult to destroy. Israel have killed six of the scientists working on the bomb which would delay the process

Israelis have been told to stay at home. Schools are closed. They are expecting a strong retaliation from Iran.
The US will have to defend Israel which is something Trump is against as he told Netanyahu not to go ahead with the attack before peace talks which were due soon.

This has got the potential to get really serious, it is in effect a declaration of war, it remains to be seen if Israel can be stopped by the US from escalating further. This is the very last thing Trump wanted, oil and gas exports from the gulf are going to be seriously affected which will trigger a new energy crisis.

Israel believes that Iran is very close to producing a nuclear bomb and have taken action to stop them, how far are they willing to go to achieve that?.

This is just so so dangerous - I feel sick and truly worried.

The whole world will not HAVE TO TAKE SIDES and the rest will be

history, if we are lucky. The most stupid act of sheer aggression ever, in a part of the world which is already just on the brink. Netanyahu is a sick, mad man.

Terrifying.

This is a serious situation. Netanyahu has gone against advice from the US and has attacked Iran.
Iran will retaliate and Israel has closed down today waiting for the attack.
Although the US has distanced itself from this only warning Iran not to target US bases it's inevitable that they may get pulled into this war.
