All this "illegal war" BS! Terrorism, the reason for the attack on Iran, is illegal. People who bellow about Trump's "illegal" war clearly prefer terrorism to Western democracy.

Yep the world is subject to the decisions of powerful nations, like the USA, but Trump is one of the greatest clowns of all-time

A lot of talk about legitimacy.
If the leadership in a country has demonstrated a willingness to cause general harm around it, just what is a recipient of that harm entitled to do? In this case, the 'recipient' is most of the rest of the world. I see that it has no choice but respond to minimise the threat. If this means war-like activities, so be it. My concern is that the reason for such a response is real. If a genuine threat, then a response aimed at the defence of any country is justified. When there are very unusual and exceptional circumstances, an unusual and exceptional response is acceptable. Whilst I think war is the very last way to react to threat, eventually this can be necessary. In which case I unreservedly honour those who risk life itself to defend our established values. I would much prefer all to be reasonable. But when this cannot happen, a rather violent response could take place. I see a similar situation developing in The Ukraine. Eventually, the rest of the world will need to deal with that too. Posted by Ipso Fatso, Thursday, 5 March 2026 12:17:26 PM

Regime Change is an Ugly Game
You're all cheering on the destruction of the Iranian 'regime', but maybe you should look at the 'means' which you support. Witnesses Describe Horror Scene After “Double-Tap” Bombing Kills Over 20 at Popular Tehran Square http://www.dropsitenews.com/p/tehran-iran-double-tap-bombing-trump-israel-war-niloofar-square >>“One of my friends whom I don’t know that well he was sitting here. His hookah was in his hands until the last moment. He was severed in half. Half of him was thrown to the side. I put him back together and placed him where he was. A piece of his brain was thrown here on the floor.” The bombing at Niloofar Square was one of a number of attacks on densely populated areas of the Iranian capital over the past 24 hours. A separate strike hit Ferdowsi Square—a major historical area in central Tehran—amid a broader campaign striking targets all across the city. Among the sites hit were police stations, government buildings, and offices of the country’s national broadcaster.<< Now, why are they targeting police stations? - I'll tell you why, and it's the same thing they were doing in the 12 day war that precipitated the government attacks on protesters. They are trying to undermine the countries ability to prevent the western sponsored civil unrest that will overthrow the countries leadership, so they target police stations, government buildings and TV stations, to prepare the ground for ground operations by CIA paid militia so that when the citizens rise up, and get themselves killed, the chance of succeeding are 'better'. >>“The worst thing that can happen in your life is this. You’re sitting here in peace, relaxing for an hour, and something like this destroys your whole life,” said Shahin, who survived the attack on Cafe Ahla. “You tried to hit the police and you killed average people. If this is how you want to kill, then kill us all. Every night we are seeing killings. We can’t sleep at night because we’re worried something will happen to our kids.” Posted by Armchair Critic, Thursday, 5 March 2026 6:26:01 PM

>>Hospitals and other medical facilities have also been repeatedly targeted in the U.S.-Israeli strikes. On Monday, Fatemeh Mohammad Beigi, a member of parliament’s health commission, said on state media that nine hospitals have been attacked, including five in Tehran and four in other cities.<<
Hospitals and Police Stations. Got to prevent the wounded from getting medical care JUST LIKE GAZA Do you morons think you are standing up for something good, decent and honourable? I keep telling you all, Israel manufactures anti-semites, it manufactures terrorists, it causes endless wars, compromises governments to attack their own people and now its about to destroy the global economy and make the whole world pay for its hate for anyone who stands in its way of it's biblical aims. You want to know why Israel is a vile nation? It's because their history and identity is tied to that land, as in Mount Zion. Denying the aims of a Zionist is to deny their identity. That's why they call their own detractors self hating Jews. The second reason is because they believe they are 'God's Chosen People', so nothing is ever really 'wrong' And the final reason is because all of their history, bible stories celebrate doing dirty shite, like murdering people in their sleep, and celebrating it.

President of Iran:
http://x.com/drpezeshkian/status/2028512478578008302 >>Attacks on hospitals strike at life itself. Attacks on schools target a nation's future. Targeting patients and children blatantly violates humanitarian principles. The world must condemn it. I stand with my grieving nation. Iran will not remain silent or yield to these crimes.<< Anyone who supports this may as well be a terrorist. 'End's justify the means' just like the Bondi ISIS father and son team. Supporting these acts in Iran makes one no better than the people carrying it out. And if you support that for others, then don't whinge when it happens to you.
