I presume Jordan and the US will also be assisting the Israelis as last time too Reports at least one Iranian missile dropped short and impacted in Jordan. Not seen news on casualties. Jordanian airspace now closed too - but Iranian airspace isn’t! Sneaky. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep thinking surely common sense will prevail, but common sense seems to be in short supply in the Middle East at times. Apples and oranges, a different situation, but the war in Yugoslavia rumbled on for about four years until the Srebrenica Massacre and the US/Western European powers intervened.

Chindie Posted 4 hours ago VT Supporter Share Posted 4 hours ago 1 hour ago, OutByEaster? said: Iran's statement is sort of "we've told you now, so behave". I have a feeling that expecting Netanyahu to agree to that is somewhat optimistic. That's been Iran's position officially for a while, because they don't want a gloves off war. But they also can't not respond, so they tend to make symbolic attacks back with a statement that boils down to 'now pack it in', but everyone knows it's pointless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tayls Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago I’m confused as to why Israel wants to pick a fight with Iran, as well as Hezbollah in Lebanon and Palestine… surely they can’t handle that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iran funds the Houthi’s, Hezbollah and Hamas. Provides them with weaponry and uses their militants to target Israel. I’m fairly sure Israel would prefer not to have to fight Iran but they destabilise the whole region. (Depending on your view of the whole situation).

There's not a cheque Israel can write that America won't back. As for why, well... Israel views Iran as an existential threat to them. Iran backs Hamas and Hezbollah. Israel has various other reasons for wanting a war - opportunity to attempt to eliminate their opponents (which they can't do but never mind), which has presented itself on various fronts, as well things like Netanyahu facing prosecution which he's distracting and distancing from through the strongman act... Is this all going to make anything better? **** no. But who cares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
