Now it’s the so called perfect storm thousands of innocent Iranians will suffer, as will the west when the terrorist fraternity reek revenge…

Could be soon too.

Not to mention weapons being used.
Somewhere. Somehow.

What happens if Iran decides to bomb Germany? Or another western Country?
A Country in NATO?

God I feel physically sick. I have an Iranian friend with family there. Last time I saw her she was sweating and shaking.

Poor woman.
And all the other citizens.

Starmer gets it right again

I believe he has refused to let UK bases be used to assist the upcoming Trump genocide.

Maybe when Trump started caging up children the world should have woken up a bit.

AGA a friend has been suffering badly but now swears by cranberry capsules which are apparently better than the juice.

With regard to Trump's expletives, he clearly is completely losing it. what an appalling way for the POTUS to communicate with anyone let alone in this current dangerous situation.

Be careful, there is no evidence that cranberry works and some experts believe it can make cystitis worse. Those sachets from the supermarket worked for me.

The Iranian regime are the biggest dictators and unelected, someone has got to remove them and no one else is doing much.

It only brings more unrest when western countries interfere with the Middle East. Then everyone will be complaining about Iranian refugees.

Oreo, what does DP stand for pls?

Maremia Tue 07-Apr-26 15:20:40

A basic question. Iran is trying to survive. Why would it bomb Germany?

Ladyleftfieldlover Tue 07-Apr-26 15:22:16

Absolutely Hobbycat. Can anyone name a single war in the Middle East with a successful outcome, especially when Western countries got involved?

Goodness I hope that's right sixandahalf.

He isn’t worth your tears. He’s only fit for the gutter after all he’s done over time.

The air bases were only to be used for defence anyway.

Asked whether the government would prevent UK assets being used for strikes on infrastructure, first reported by The i Paper, the prime minister’s official spokesman reiterated that the UK has only agreed for the US to use British bases for "collective self defence of the region".

I woke in the night and thought I heard planes but it was two helicopters, perhaps out on emergencies.

Vance isn't a Catholic! If he was he wouldn't insist that God had put trump in power.

We were told this, doesn't make it true at all.

Well, it does as that is the agreement.

And he professes to be a Christian!!! All his Christian followers should be ashamed!!!!!

MayBee70 Tue 07-Apr-26 16:32:27

Well, his spokesperson who spouts all of his lies wears a crucifix round her neck. I may not be a Christian myself but it infuriates me angry.

Iran has called for people to form human chains around their infrastructure. This will cause a dilemma for the pilots as it would definitely be a war crime if they kill thousands of young people deliberately. I just hope those pilots will abort the mission if that happens.
Trump says he doesn't care about war crimes but the pilots may not share that attitude. War crimes will be added to his long list of crimes.

God I feel physically sick. I have an Iranian friend with family there. Last time I saw her she was sweating and shaking.

Am so sorry. We have a lovely Iranian family lives near us. They haven’t heard anything from relatives in Tehran for weeks now, they haven’t slept and the mother said she has lost 2 stones in weight. I can see that this is true. And still she brought soup round for us because she knows I struggle with caring for my DH. I can’t say or do anything to ease their misery. Is horrible.

foxie thanks for the advice.

That sort of kindness is bringing tears.

We shouldn’t be surprised by how religious extremists can commit atrocities in the name of religion. In this respect neither Netanyahu or Trump are any better than the Iranian regime.

Fallingstar Tue 07-Apr-26 16:51:19

It did make me cry sixandahalf. 😢

MayBee70 Tue 07-Apr-26 17:05:00

I keep thinking is it any wonder Iran wanted a nuclear weapon? Because, if they had one this wouldn’t be happening to them now.
