America bombs Iran.

[Salty seadog]

As above, America has bombed 3 Iranian nuclear sites. This is going to get shitty.

It's in a mess over there, Russia-Ukraine, Israel-iran, Israel-Palestine and now this.
I can see Iran having a major pop at Israel after this.

Are we still believing that "regime change is not planned"?

There's certainly not one shred of history of it to back up my suspicions...

Perhaps somebody should inform Mr Pahlavi before he places his order for new flags and a one way plane ticket to Tehran... He seems to have gotten the wrong end of the stick.

Trumps speaking now.

Rubio looks his usual uncomfortable self and looking like he's going to make a break for it at any moment. Hegseth scanning for the nearest alcoholic beverage and JD Vance whiffing his own farts with pride.

Mob Rules....

FFS Pahlavi has as much chance in Iran as Chalabi had in Iraq.

If only this news was surprising. 😢

Iranian population might hate their "regime" but that does not mean they want Netanyahu interfering in a disorganised way. Regimne change has not worked in recent history but the concept of bombing a country into democracy beggars belief.

Population can hate their regime but love their country. Saw a news interview with an Iranins living in exile in US and they hated the regime but were saying the country was already moving towards resolving, slowly but moving and bombing them is just going to fǔck everything up (OK, views of a single individual maybe not representative but I'm sure they know more about Iran than I do).

Trumps decision making long term has not been great in business, now he plays with the world's business...

I understand talks in Oman broke down in coming to a resolution over Irans nuclear production.

FFS Pahlavi has as much chance in Iran as Chalabi had in Iraq.

One of the odd things about recent coverage is that Pahlavi's father now seems to be portrayed as a cuddly benevolent dictator.
