Trump has attacked Iran

Yes there’s some relief but my gut tells me to be very very cautious as we really don’t know who is going to do what in next few days

I am with Oreo on this, if/when Iran produces a nuclear weapon or even a dirty bomb I have an absolute dread of the inevitability of it landing up in the hands of Hezbollah or any of Iran’s puppet terrorists

Out of curiosity don’t any posters feel pleased that Iran, considered by so many governments as a pariah state is for now nowhere near acquiring nuclear weapons?
It would never have happened with talks as they were hiding what they had deep underground.
They were rushing towards becoming nuclear as their proxy groups, hamas, hezbollah amongst others have been more or less neutralised by Israel so nobody much left to do their dirty work.

Yes, of course but that doesn't mean we are happy about the escalation of tensions in the area which are likely to have far reaching effects. I know that Trump feels that the ceasefire is back in effect but I doubt it will last. One side or the other will not be able to pull back, there is just too much hatred.

Just to add that there are no requirements to say anything at all, and if a poster reports a comment and it’s deleted then there is good reason to do so.

No you don't have to say you have reported a post but it can leave posters wondering who it was and maybe jumping to a wrong conclusion.
Thank you for letting us know and the reason you reported.
I tend to let nasty posts stand so everyone can see what that poster has typed but of course it's a personal issue to each of us .

Perhaps not from everyone lafergar including you, but I do feel relieved that Israel and the US have defied Iran’s plans for full nuclear capabilities and think the rest of the world should be too.

Definitely Oreo, such a relief for the people of Israel,

I was hoping this might come in handy one day. I worked out some maths on the little minion's melon. Try as I may, I could not come up with a solid equation. Somehow, it makes no sense. I would be wearing a hat, too, if this were the case.

Hi all,

Clearly I've put this in the wrong place! LOL Apologies, it doesn't belong here! x

I’m happy to say that I reported a personal attack to GN and they responded.

why on earth was my post deleted?

If people report a post they should at least say they have and explain why.
It's cowardly and leads others to wonder who it was

I have no idea, it's pathetic.

I don’t rise to jibes as I have already told you on other threads.

The use of a happy smiley in this context is so so wrong, and no jibe.

I expect I'll be deleted any minute now.

It can be useful to gather a few quick ideas and so on but there seriously is some utter rubbish written here.

A lot of us , proably trying to make sense of something which doesn't make sense. Worrying about the ramifications for our own, small lives and the poor people caught up in this almighty mess.

So " well done Israel" no, not really.

William Alberque: Okay, so what they have right now is not suitable for a dirty bomb at all. If they wanted to create a dirty bomb, they could use spent fuel from a nuclear reactor. But what we’re talking about is a gaseous uranium that they’re enriching to a higher level. If they’re able to reconstitute the ability to enrich it, by taking centrifuges and moving them elsewhere, it could take weeks or so to get that back up to 90% or something like that. Then they’d have to turn it into metal to turn into a bomb. Very, very unlikely that they could do that in any kind of short order. That would take much longer to reconstitute. So I do take the point that they’ve been delayed on the path to a bomb, but if they hide all this material, then there will be questions as to what was the actual purpose of doing this, aside from taking out the longer range, longer term, larger capabilities that they had buried in these facilities

*not Iran.

Does Trump regret aiding Israel now? It seems so. He is furious mostly with Israel.
It could have been a fruitless waste of money as it appears that Iran moved the uranium before the attack.
Some might say it serves Trump right as he promised to keep the US out of other countries' wars. Backfired on him. Netanyahu should never have been trusted not Iran.

Well done to Israel and the US, for successfully ruining Irans nuclear plans😃
I think that Trumps ‘deal’ with Iran and Israel will hold now as Israel won’t want to offend the US and relies on them, and Iran will be terrified of offending them, hence the missiles aimed at the US base, which they pre warned the Americans about and knew would be easily shot down.
Trump should have got a clear agreement from both countries before announcing it on Truth Social, he’s only angry that it’s made him look a bit silly but it’s his own fault.
Israel will be happy to have got the result they wanted.

Trump must be totally exasperated by now…. If swearing is a shorthand way of getting through to the warring parties, why not? Nothing else seems to be working. Seems like war is preferred option?

they are not the words that should be coming out of a person's mouth. A person who holds one of the highest offices and should be a role model, act with integrity, diplomacy, good humour, decency, wisdom, compassion.

👏 I so agree with you, a foul word
