And in the US, our cancer-in-chief has pissed off our neighbors so much that they probably wouldn't let us in anyway.

Let’s be honest: there's no chance of a lasting ceasefire now. Iran just got bombed without having a bomb, yet managed to save over 800 pounds of enriched uranium in the process. Now they’ve got both the material and the motive. The message they've been given is clear: not having nukes didn’t protect them. So why not finish the job?


And that’s exactly the kind of outcome Israel wants. As long as Iran might go nuclear, they can keep pressuring the US to play along with their regime change fantasy. We just handed them a justification that can be recycled indefinitely.

You don't de-escalate after that. You bunker down, and you plan for what comes next.

I've heard that there's an attempt at a people's revolution happening there at the moment. Watch us manage to screw it up.

Hell, watch us screw it up on purpose because we don't actually want the Iranian people to rule Iran; we want to turn it into a puppet state like we're doing with Venezuela.

Yea, I hope the people of Iran do this themselves. Getting help from the US has a high chance of backfiring for one reason or another.

If other countries get involved I wonder if the US would be the only one.
- European Union foreign ministers on Thursday agreed to include the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps on the bloc's list of terrorist organisations, putting the powerful guards in a category similar to that of Islamic State and al Qaeda and marking a symbolic shift in Europe's approach to Iran's leadership.
"Repression cannot go unanswered," European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas wrote on social media platform X. "Any regime that kills thousands of its own people is working toward its own demise."

I think Trump's gotten the go-ahead from his friends in the region to do this. It's not just Israel.

I was wondering when and why we'd start to see a massive spike in oil prices that will give me an excuse to start slapping Trump face "I DID THIS" stickers on all the gas pumps...

Trump has put out a video statement. I'm watching now. I'm not skipping ahead but it already sounds like regime change is here.

"major combat operations" confirmed.

"We can't take it anymore."

"massive and ongoing operation"

He just laid down an ultimatum to Iran's military and o]police: lay down their weapons and have immunity, or face destruction.

He gave the Iranian people the go-ahead to overthrow their government. We'll back them up this time, maybe.

Well, might stop the drones being sold to russia.

I've already signed the petition, but the canadian government absolutely needs to stop selling arms to isreal now.

....... Regime change is best handled internally..... History shows this time and time again. IF they really push this whatever government ends up in place will be seen as illegitimate by a lot of Iranians. Frankly, Trump has no idea what he's doing on the international stage. Trump having a coronary would be so helpful right now, Universe.
