How will the upcoming attack on Iran go.

After Israel attacked Iran’s South Pars gasfield, Iran's stay-behind groups unsurprisingly responded and attacked other regional sources.

US being very fond of oil and gas found this inconvenient. Trump has threatened to rectify the shortage resulting from damage to gas supplies by threatening to bomb Iran’s South Pars gasfield some more.

I have a feeling this might not improve supplies.

He says Israel won't do it again.

I doubt Netanyahu will pay much attention to what his obedient poodle says.

The mad mullers should have been dealt with years ago successive presidents have shyed away from it

They should have been sorted out when they took the US embassy hostage back in the 80s

They are up to there eyeballs in that October 7th caper in Israel the mad mullers have been bank rolling and arming Hamas for decades

They have oppressed and massacred there own population / people

They have armed Hezbollah and used them to repeatedly attack Israel

Same with the houti fruit cakes in Yemen

They supported Assad militarily and with boots on the ground and arms as he slaughterd his own population

It will take the mad mullers decades to rebuild there country were they going to get the money from. ??? Gulf states !!!!!!

They have been supplying poo tin with drones as he attacks civilian infrastructure

We don’t buy their oil but we buy stuff from countries that buy their oil so we will be indirectly financing the rebuilding and rearming of their country.
 
Israel does not want the war to stop. That's why they like to kill negotiators and potential calming leaders.


"Regional officials say there is no movement on diplomatic efforts to end the war from either side. And Israel’s killing on Tuesday of Ali Larijani, a conservative but pragmatic regime veteran, is expected to further set back hopes of a resumption of talks. He would have been integral to any diplomatic process, a regional diplomat said."

Trump is not as powerful as he likes to bluff.

The rebuttal was swift, emphatic — and cathartic. One by one, Donald Trump’s European allies rejected the US president’s demand to join his war in the Middle East. Leaders from Warsaw to Madrid, from Washington’s closest friends on the continent to the most Trump-sceptic, closed ranks to deliver the message: “This is not our war.”

This week’s collective refusal by Trump’s European partners of his demand to help him open the Strait of Hormuz by force — or risk a “bad” future for the Nato alliance — was remarkable for its force and unanimity. It was all the more striking after two weeks of chaotic division among the continent’s capitals over his war against Iran.

“The United States of America and Israel did not consult us prior to this war,” said German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. “The question of how Germany might become militarily involved here does not arise.”

Italy, France, Greece and Spain issued similar rejections. British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said the UK would “not be drawn into the wider war”. Even countries such as Poland, traditionally Washington’s most staunch transatlantic military partner, ruled out joining Trump’s proposed armada to force open the chokepoint affecting world oil supplies.

Faced with a conflict in which it risks having little leverage but much at stake, Europe has found a common voice and a joint message — one that contrasts with the deep divisions over George W Bush’s Iraq war two decades ago and which points to a deepening belief that appeasing Trump is not the only option available."

Supporters of Israel still try to argue that Europe should do what Trump tells them.

Has always been so with various countries

But hey ho

The cycle will continue rebuild / destroy

So on and so forth

Dare say the mad mullers have got enough embezzled funds in Zurich (?) to rebuild
 
Trump needs to stop getting a squeaky bottom
Man up and conduct himself like he has a pair

There is always the option of a tactical nuclear weapon ????

Japan and various European countries have issued a joint statement suggesting there may yet be involvement in protecting the Hormuz Strait.

Watch this space.

To achieve absolutely nothing? Sure, he could ruin his reputation even further and that's all he really cares about.

Japan's prime minister was treading carefully during her meeting with Donald Trump, US correspondent David Blevins says.

He describes it as being a "tricky meeting" for Sanae Takaichi, not least because Japan is one of the allies that chose not to respond to Trump's plea for help in relation to the Strait of Hormuz.

"She countered that by saying 'only you, Donald, can achieve peace'

Clever gal. Far too savvy for that moron.

The rest of the sane world are not interested in Don's war boyo, especially not EU nations.

Has the US started running any convoys through yet? No? I wonder why...

(I don't, because it is risky for the escort vessel which would have limited time to engage incoming weapons, limited manuvering room and if any civilian escorted ships are damaged then they look like clowns)

Iran was supposed to be a pushover according to Don. Surely he just needs to say the word and The Strait will be open and secure?

He looks weaker by the day.

Israel should have done this alone. They have some serious capability in Mossad.

It was a mistake to bring the Orange Idiot on board, in the mistaken belief that other western nations would quickly follow. They are not interested in Trumps follies. Previous sane US leaders - yes. Fruitcake rapist egocentric megalomaniac fraudster assaulters of women - no.

Never has he looked so weak.

Israel can't supply all the missiles themselves. They can't even afford to buy all the missiles themselves. The only way Israel can carry out this war is because of US support.

Semantics. Optics.

The US has supported Israel for decades. Israel didn't need The Donald to mess this up. In fact negotiations were going well. Too well for the Israelis, hence the whispers in Dons ear by Bibi, a tug on Dons leash and here we are.

It's a bad situation made worse by Trump-US involvement.
