Remember John Dyson? You won’t see many better catches than this.

@Bobjacket Wonderful. What was Starmer's reaction to a terror regime trying repeatedly to murder your fellow citizens for absolutely no justifiable reason, apart from bending over? Can't even proscribe the IRGC as terrorists. That's pretty lame, come on.
English
Britain can pretend that they don't want to fight with the IRGC, but the IRGC wants to fight with Britain.

🚨 NEW: Two suspected Iranian spies were arrested after trying to break into HMNB Clyde yesterday - Britain’s nuclear submarine base [@jeromestarkey]

@annanimiddy @aziz0nomics We usually distinguish between terror attacks and acts of war.
English
@Bobjacket @aziz0nomics They declared war on you already and their Ambassador who is still somehow in your country threatens your country should it get involved. Pathetic spineless bunch.
English
@aziz0nomics Give over. If we weren't involved in bombing them, they would have zero motivation at all to hit us

@Agent_Hodgo @Mr_Andrew_Fox I think its academic anyway really - if they get anywhere near a working warhead they'll probs get nuked themselves before finishing
English
@Agent_Hodgo @Mr_Andrew_Fox I'm confident that they understand the consequences; that they'll get nuked in response, and that will be the end of Iran's existence as the leader and bastion of Shia Islam.
English
The common Western take says if Israel has a nuke, Iran having one makes things more stable.
This argument says that logic collapses once psychology enters the equation.

@mashabani exactly. just open the strait yourself Donald and take all the credit.
English
If Trump has already won the war, doesn't need NATO, and seizing Hormuz is a "simple military maneuver" that is "so easy...with so little risk", then why is he so upset?
English
@EylonALevy dear me. You are so brain dead that you cant help but see every conflict through the prism of WW2.

“We have to stop bombing Germany. We’re just creating a whole generation of Nazis.”

Christiane Amanpour@amanpour
“We are manufacturing a whole new generation of terrorists in the Middle East,” former U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel tells me, saying the Trump administration's conduct of its war in Iran appears to him unprecedented.
English
I just love people who can't ignore the elephant in the room.
🤣
Daily Wire@realDailyWire
This might actually be Trump's funniest moment 😂 Japanese Reporter: Why didn't you tell us before you struck Iran? Trump: "Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor?" 💀🔥😂
English
@zachdavis55555 @DanielKorski @grok US state planners were very smart in those days. They literally built the world order post WW2 - and did a pretty good job imho.
English
@DanielKorski @grok This is silly Eurocope. Without the Marshall Plan and subsequent US leadership Europe would have remained a rubble heap for decades only to emerge ready for another boody continental conflict.
English
Historian here. I’m seeing a lot of crazy takes about the US and WWII.
Nazi Germany declared war on the United States on December 11, 1941.
This came just days after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The US then declared war on Japan. Germany, as Japan’s ally (via the Tripartite Pact), chose to escalate and declare war on the U.S.
But Adolf Hitler already saw the U.S. as an enemy and believed war was inevitable.
So this whole narrative by some Americans to the Europeans of “help us now in Iran because we helped you in WWII” doesn’t quite stack up to the realities of history
English
@reportingLibya @Mr_Andrew_Fox Of course there's worry. There's a range of policies for dealing with it. Obama took one, Trump has taken another. Obama's was better imo.
English
@Bobjacket @Mr_Andrew_Fox Er...so no worries about that 60 percent enriched stuff lying about then ? 🤣
Or the missile building. Peaceful missiles no doubt.
English
There is probably a better than 50/50 chance that the Iran war is going to be a global economic disaster. It’s going to make the 1970s look like a cakewalk unless Trump ends it, sharpish.

BREAKING: Qatar says that its Ras Laffan industrial city, home to a massive LNG plan, was hit by Iranian missiles. "Emergency response teams were deployed immediately to contain the resulting fires, as extensive damage has been caused." Note the wording: "extensive damage"

English
@reportingLibya @Mr_Andrew_Fox The reason is - that they stopped their nuclear weapons program back in 2003. Assessments are that they planned to build a bomb and stopped, but want to be in a position where they can build one in future if necessary.
English
@reportingLibya @Mr_Andrew_Fox You need to get in touch with US Intel if you think you know more. Ill leave it there 😃
English
@Bobjacket @Mr_Andrew_Fox Er...you don't enrich to 60 for any other reason than for a nuclear bomb. Its not use for anything else.
I think you have to face facts. Its unpleasant, as there are no easy choices on this one.
English
@reportingLibya @Mr_Andrew_Fox why has it been at 60% for 20 years? Rather than 90%? Answer : they hadn't made a decision to build a nuclear weapon. Not my claim either : thats US intelligence assessments.
English
@Bobjacket @Mr_Andrew_Fox Er...so they enriched the fuel to 60 percent for what?
🤣
English
@reportingLibya @Mr_Andrew_Fox they weren't making a nuclear weapon. you know this right?
English
@Bobjacket @Mr_Andrew_Fox Er....and your plan for containment would be what?
They were developing nuclear and missile manufacturing.
Precision strikes? But different to the Trump precision strikes? Would your version mean no retaliation?
I feel like this plan needs more work.😂
English
@reportingLibya @Mr_Andrew_Fox The CIA claim that they would be alerted very early on if Iran made the decision to make a nuclear warhead. I think the sensible policy was containment with a view to precision strikes when necessary, but Trump hasn't got any sense.
English
@Mr_Andrew_Fox I guess alternative would be to leave Iran with its nuke and missile production.
English
@owenjonesjourno Also, he find the concept of "losing" psychologically difficult to comprehend.
English
Donald Trump knows he is losing the Iran war.
But the option of "declare victory and go home" isn't open to him.
This would be the biggest strategic defeat suffered by the US since it emerged as a superpower.
It would mark the formal end of US global hegemony.
