Trump has attacked Iran

Claremont

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

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.

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

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.

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,

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 .

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.

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

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

Depends.

If a particular poster keeps getting targeted by the same poster[no idea if true in this case], then nothing can be done unless GN knows.
Sometimes it is not at all obvious to anyone else, what is really happening.

No I don't want Iran to have a bomb as I fear what they will do but I think this attack by the US has only put them back by a few years or even less.

Meanwhile … Palestinians in Gaza are still dying and being starved by Israel.

Although, apparently not actually starved to death because Israel has calculated how many daily calories a human requires to just stay alive and, based on the numbers in Gaza, that’s how much aid they’re allowing in … so just starved to the brink of death then!

I don’t want my country to ally with a regime that treats desperate people with such inhumanity.

It is possible to agree or disagree- however, using happy/smiley emoticon, about the fact that two countries have bombed another, is just totally inappropriate I feel strongly. Especially as we still have no idea what the consequences will be, for those countries, those people, and the world.

Claremont best you do not go anywhere near a Mess Hall or even an Officers Mess, as the gallows/black humour you would encounter is positively offensive, hilarious and blood chilling.

It is one of the ways our brave armed forces get through difficult times.

Oreo I’m afraid I consider the use of a smiley face emoji in your post of 13.23 inappropriate.

This is about one country bombing another. You do realise that people in Iran have been killed don’t you?

Iran's health ministry says around 500 people have been killed by Israeli strikes on Iran since Israel's 13 June attack on the country, although one human rights group has put the death toll at 950

What do we actually know? What was destroyed? Why did POTUS appoint himself to drop bombs after "no more wars" whilst campaigning for office?

I cannot believe anyone but an ardent fan of the regime would repeatedly profess support for a rogue state that is like a many headed viper, poisoning politics in the middle-east; financing terrorism (probably active in this Country as well). To cap all this, the treatment of women - which in my book is enough to damn it comprehensively.
Israel is standing up to this monster and has my support.

Iran is a dictatorship so can we really believe what they claim are numbers killed since 13th June ?

Claremont I don't use smiley faces for serious issues. Why do you think I do?

I’m with you. 🥊

In all of this 'joy' and relief now that Iran has been 'defeated', let's have some joy and relief for the CHILDREN of Gaza, none of whom have done any harm to Israel?
Let's at least let them have the safety to reach the aid donated by decent people in the world.

It is possible to think of two things, the plight of Gaza and the potential threat of Iran as a nuclear power.

Was the post deleted because of a response Oreo's 'smiley face' emoti?
