AC,

You claimed your sources had seen the coming attack and the planes in flight and therefore the Iranians had seen it. But your sources had misled you (they always mislead you!!) since they in fact hadn't detected the attack planes. Instead they'd seen the decoy planes. So they were misled and they in turn misled you and you all congregated down the garden path., which is where you always end up.

Now some with a little intestinal fortitude would acknowledge the error and seek to do better next time. Someone with a little integrity would rapidly retract the absurd assertion..."aren't you sick of me making you look stupid all these years?"... since it is now obvious it was AC who was made to look stupid.

But alas its AC we are dealing with and he will try to brazen it through and in a month's time will have forgotten what a dill he made of himself and will convince himself he and his sources were completely correct. So sad.

The same goes with his assertions that 1000 Palestinians were killed by Israeli settlers in the year before 23/7. A completely fabricated claim that is utterly refuted by the official figures. Just made up to try to justify the 23/7 invasion. More trips down the garden path for AC !!

Trump announces a ceasefire. Art of the deal.

It has been reported that a ceasefire between Israel and Iran will take place around 2pm Australian time. But, there is some scepticism in America.

Trump has said that the ceasefire has been agreed between the two parties, but there are heads being shaken. Iran, with almost 50 years of hatred for Israel and the US is not suddenly going to flip the switch.

Iran has attacked US bases in retaliation. Will that be overlooked?

Iran's nuclear capability has been set back 3 or more years (reportedly). That was the deal as far as Israel was concerned. Only a complete regime change will solve the Iran problem. Peace is still a pie in the sky.

I noticed that the IDF targeted a lot of concentrations of Iranian repression such as offices of the morals police, but I doubt it will be enough for an overthrow of the regime. That would require outside assistance in excess of the assistance the regime can draw on.

Bezza,
Garland is smarter than all of us.

"I don't think that Russia had a problem with the destruction of Iran's nuclear weapons program, and there is no way that Putin would give the regime a nuke: I suspect it is one reason why Trump has limited aid to Ukraine."

I think they do, they have 200+ nuclear scientists in Iran already, and I think they would to checkmate the west.
But they don't have to North Korea or Pakistan will.
They're not going to let Iran become another Syria.
And the west doesn't do ceasefires look at Ukraine, it's victory plan.

"Now that the major backers of terrorism in the Middle East have been degraded, the place should become more peaceful."
Who, Israel? I told you all these wars since 9/11 are Neoconservatives, Zionists and Netanyahus wars
Wesley Clark 7 wars in 5 years.
How many times must I say it

mhaze,
I'm told Russia advised them to let the attack happen.
If they saw 'decoy planes' they'd still think an attack was imminent.
What I'm sick of, is you nitpicking everything and making me waste comments when I need to respond to others as well.
I provide the info and the source, it's up to you to think whatever you want.
1000 Palestinians, Jake's way more knowledgeable on this topic than you, that's why he could make a 5 hour video.
Here's another he released this morning.

Anyone catch what Lindsay Graham said to Trump

500% sanctions on anyone buying Russian oil.

>>Graham, in an interview, said he told Trump that authorising strikes in Iran would give the U.S. an opportunity to repair damage done to America's reputation abroad after the botched withdrawal fromAfghanistan. "You'll be the new sheriff in town, and this will reset our relationship with the rest of the world," Graham said he told the president.<<

Trumps a moron.

Well it seems the ceasefire is holding. At least for now. The problem is that the Iranian regime is fractured and fracturing under the combined pressure of Israeli attacks and the US giving them a smack behind the ears. That means that rogue groups may try to continue the forlorn battle in the name of Allah and this in turn could provoke Israel into taking them out as its done to so many others.

OTOH, there seems some hope that more rational elements in Iran are rising to the challenge and recognising that, with their empire in disarray, they need to make peace with all those they've alienated over the past 40 years.

Given its natural resources and long cultural history, Iran could and should be one of the most prosperous nations in the Middle-East. It isn't because it is run by people more interested in their next life rather than the welfare of the nation.

We should remember what an astonishing job Israel has done in the last 21 months after being invaded by Hamas. The M-E is utterly changed for the better thanks to the steady hand of Netanyahu and more recently Trump. Hamas is finished. Hezbullah cowed. The Houthis too. Assad gone and a compliant regime stabilising Syria. And now, in a mere 12 days, Iran utterly defeated and left seeking an honourable surrender.

Forests will be felled to handle the books that are going to be written about this overturning of the old realities
