Problems inside Iran so, time to start another " patriotic" incident to get everybody all backing the Mullahs.

Biden will follow the lead of the Military. Trump made it up as he went along.

I doubt they were scared of Trump. They could have just done a Quid Pro Quo deal and given him some cash.

Biden is a bog trotter. Disaster as a world leader.

That's worked well in the past.

Taking the advice of warmongers in the pockets of the industrial war complex doesn't end well.

Do you use the N word as well to make comment?

One has to hope that the case of NZR will not be affected although no doubt Iran will see it different.

There is one thing in life after being on this planet for a long time that I still can't reconcile.
I've met many people from Iran and they're wonderful people. I know people who've been
to Iran and they get nothing but warmth and hospitality from the people. And yet you have
head-cases running the country. Oh, hold on, the penny's just dropped. Boris!! Ignore this
post please.

Iran's Leaders must have a Death Wish, Israel clearly has Nuclear Weapons and has presumably only restrained itself due to the USA pressure.

Went to Israel a few years ago to look at the Holy Land Sites with Mrs Jakarta and my late Mother-in-Law.

My clearest impression was a country which is at war, has got used to it and is very prepared to take it to the next level.

Iran is a huge problem mainly because it is the biggest backer of terrorist groups in the Middle East . It hates America , Israel and the west in general . Shame because the majority of its population are quite decent people other than the extremists .

Its a successful strategy to prevent the US and its allies to bomb the shit out of the country, take control over natural resources and send the population into (more) poverty. Iran could never win a traditional war against these bloodsuckers and understood early that they need to adapt to the modern way of asymmetric warfare.

There has been a war going on between Israel and Iran for many years partly because Israel help the old Shah who the current regime over threw in 1980 and partly because Israel is closely aligned with the west (not just the US). The active fighting has generally taken place in Lebanon with the Hezbollah group who are backed by Iran and has been going on for many years. More recently Israel has teamed up with Saudi Arabia and the UAE as all see Iran as a major threat which has led to Israel actively helping some of the Sunni (Terrorists?) in Syria in their fight against Asad who is backed by Iran. Saudi is fighting teh Iran backed Houthi rebels in Yemen.

Both want to avoid a direct conflict at the moment though Israel has on more than one occasion bombed Iran directly (nuclear power stations) and has assassinated nuclear scientists. Iran has sent troops into Syria who have fired on Israel so things are hotting up.
