There was an interview with one of the few senior Iranians left, Aragachi, who basically said they had no control over local groups now.
Maybe it’s true.
He also said they didn’t want to close,Strait of Hormuz.

The obvious answer is that the US bombed them thinking that they were over Iran

Surely you mean "rogue elephant"?
Imran Khan, to those in the know...
(If you get the reference, you truly are a cricket fan).
I wonder whether the people who are so pusillanimous here and view "victory" as a foul word would have been the same in WWII when we were fighting the Nazis? How dare we be fighting for victory?
The Mullahs are an evil that needs defeating. Now is the time to press for victory and see them eliminated once and for all.
War should be a last resort, but when war comes, fighting for victory is the right thing to do.
How many times are you going to repeat "victory"?
Look, if the US and Israel had a clear war plan to defeat the Iranian regime, maybe you'd have an argument. But they don't. They're going to bomb some bits and then probably sign a new nuclear treaty that looks very similar to the one Obama did. A lot of people are going to die for very little.
Until there is regime change.
If Trump does that, then shame on him.
Don't mistake my support for regime change as support for Trump. I despise Trump. I support war here to get regime change.
Anything short of regime change and I will condemn Trump for chickening out.
However you are wrong to call it very little. The damage to the regime is already not very little, which is why Lebanon now feels freed to tackle Hezbollah.
The more damage inflicted upon this regime, the better.
On the London mayoral election if Gorton and Denton was perceived to be uphill going for Reform given it was up to 40% minority, surely London would be worse given it is majority minority?
Especially under a run-off voting system where there's no chance of getting in on a split vote. And yet Laila Cunningham is 6/4 with Hills.
The Garbett logic is interesting, but she may not even be candidate. (Bartley is shorter price)
It's pointless trying to appease Trump. Starmer should have told him to go fuck himself like the Spaniards did. Grow some cojones. Operation Epstein Distraction is not our war and we should have no part of it.

He has to still help defend British citizens in the Gulf though even if he doesn't join the US and Israeli strikes on Iran otherwise

At what point can we reasonably say this has become World War III?
Greece is sending 2 frigates and aircraft to defend Cyprus apparently
Of course, whatever they can do to antagonise Turkey.
Wherever you look around the world, everyone with long standing hatred with their neighbours. 😕 what’s wrong with the message “love thy neighbour?”
Cyprus is under attack so of course they will defend it
There is truth in what you are saying. But there’s a bit of truth in what I am pointing out as well.
There is but not relevant in this crisis
Starmer to address the HOC at 3.30pm
In our minds maybe not playground bullying of Iran, but we are talking about the Turkish people headspace. And now they see the Greek military steaming into the action.
If Turkey is triggered by Greece defending itself, that is very much Turkey's problem, and it is craven pandering nonsense to suggest that Greece should alter its behaviour to take into account such 'sensitivities'.
You make it clear, your approach to these things will be very different than mine. I still say all sorts of “sensitivities” needs to be carefully considered in situations this. People not even born yet can kill a lot of people in twenty years time, holiday makers perhaps in terror incidents, inspired by events that could happen this very day.
Were the Greeks invited to help, by UK maybe, or invited themselves? There’s the angle I come round and help you mow your lawn, where you don’t want me helping you mow your lawn, it makes you look bad.
Beware of Greeks bearing gifts.
Are you still going on about this .
The Greeks are simply helping their close neighbour to shoot down any incoming missiles . Do you seriously think Turkey is going to be upset by this ?
The difficult bit for NATO and others comes if Israel and Turkey go to war. They've both been expanding their spheres of influence in Syria and bumping up against each other.

Yes. I am saying exactly that, what you are still thinking is so preposterous.
I wouldn’t just wave through all help. Even you would draw a line - I’m sure - in this world there’s certain to be some who come along volunteering help in certain situations, you would turn away based on sensitivities?
Nationalistic narratives in education systems reinforce grievances and mutual mistrust about protection of minorities in other countries, and this can fuel things and lead to instances that just join the larger narrative of hate. The current Ukraine war has a bit of “rights and protections of minorities” in creating it, lots of conflicts and invasions triggered in just the same way, especially in that part of the world. Nineteenth century maps in French and German school classrooms with different border between each country, surely that’s so harmless, what could come from that?
There must be this view of the sensitivities in the bigger picture, even in the “excitement” of a war zone.

No chance isn't typically priced at 6/4F (or 9/4 with Ladbrokes) so they msut be seeing something we aren't.

#SNL's BAFTAs Tourette's sketch is under fire as the charity group Tourette’s Action slams the "horrific" trolling.
“Mocking a disability is never acceptable. It would not be tolerated for any other condition, and it should not be tolerated by people with Tourette’s. Tourette’s is a complex neurological condition, of which there is no cure. It is not a joke. It is not a personality trait. It is not a source of entertainment. It is a condition that can be extremely debilitating, causing pain isolation and huge amounts of discrimination.”
The BET awards monologue show one was worse. Basically saying they would lynch somebody like that if they came to their awards do as why can't whitey control themselves. I presume they didn't know that John Davidson suffered exactly that.
If you are going to do super edgy, you better be funny.

Given most of the people digging themselves a hole are normally so be kind lot and very sensitive to any form of discrimination, it seems like they believe Tourette is this weird UK white person only condition that is a bit optional.

BBC WATO not impressed that emergency evacuation hasn't been scrambled yet. Poor Tiegen from Northern Ireland only went to a Dubai for a shopping trip and isn't very happy that Starmer hasn't got her out yet.
LOL.
The malls are still open and less busy than usual, what more does she want?
Her meds run out on Wednesday and I believe all the pharmacies have closed down in the 20 years since I was last there. She has to stay in her small hotel room because her family don't want her venturing out amongst the fire and fury.
Why hasn't Starmer got you all out yet? Doesn't he care?
Morbidly obese woman on Tyne Tees local news, moved to the UAE to work a few years back, whining that the govt can’t repatriate her.
Worlds smallest violin time.
So ITV are as furious as the BBC at Starmer's failure to airlift 300,000 Brits out of the Greater Gulf area.
Its essentially moving as many people as the Dunkirk evacuation.
So why isn't Starmer sending little boats and Spitfires?
The small boats brand has taken a bit of a pasting.
Spitfires might actually be fairly effective against Shaheed drones, though Hurricanes would have better low speed handling.

On BBC, Lyse Duvet who I have a great deal of time for is very circumspect. She doesn't seem impressed with the lack of a war plan.
