Well, the tragic thing is the USA are still selling billions of dollars of weaponry to Israel, despite criticising them.
It's like telling an arsonist off for burning down buildings but quietly slipping them matches and lighter fluid the next day. Biden, especially, seems to have no real interest in stopping the conflict despite his protestations. Scumbag (and I don't use that lightly and have previously praised his record overall). |

And more grim news - Iran has started to attack Israel (in retaliation for Israel striking the Iranian consulate in Syria earlier this month) Really scary stuff.

Drones first. That won't get a retaliation from US. However, now cruise missiles have been spotted over Iraq, so they're on their way. That is basically a declarstion of war. HOWEVER, Iran used cruise missiles against the US under Trump, and Trump didn't retaliate, so pergaps this won't turn into overt war.

US, UK and Jordan ans France helped Israel intercept drones and missiles. Massive attack, using sametactics as Russia va Ukraine when it uses Iranian drones. They're definitely working v closely together militarily. I reckon that with most things intercepted thanks to thr combined effort, Israel will retaliate by degrading Iranian proxies in Lebanon and Syria, avoiding a direct attack on Iran.

Mm I don't think so. The fact that the UK, Jordan and USA made sure nothing shows they really wanted to avoid any escalation. No one wants a wider war - not even Putin, who needs Iranian drones.

The condemnation of Tehran from western governments will sound pretty hollow given events of that last 6 months!

Feels like nobody wants a war, but we're going to get one. Can't see either of Israel or Iran backing down, think a lot will depend on how much China or Russia potentially back Iran.

This won't spiral into a war. Russia in east europe, due to its imminent defeat of Ukraine thanks to buying American far right politicians, namely kingpin Trump, and the South China Sea flashpoint/ a Chinese preenptive strike on US to invade Taiwan, are where to look.

I don't think Russia or China want a war either, but we have Israel and Iran who don't seem to want to de-escalate. When Israel fight back, who knows how Iran will respond next. I think that's going to be the turning point, it's what Iran does when Israel retaliates. |
