Australia has just agreed to send military to the M/E to take part in the U.S. and Israel war of aggression against Iran.
- I'd like to know which airbase the E-7 Wedgetails will be operating from.

At the Nuremberg trials (1945–1946), "crimes against peace" — defined as the planning, preparation, initiation, or waging of a war of aggression—were prosecuted as the "supreme international crime".

Before I go any further, I want to give a proper backstory to the conflict in the region.
Everyone is entitled to their opinions and all comments are appreciated.
I may not respond to all comments however if they lack an understanding of the events over the last 30 years that lead to this, so I encourage all to familiarise themselves with the backstory to this war.

"Iran’s reprisal attacks continue to escalate, already at a scale and depth we have not seen before; 12 countries in the region are continuing to be targeted.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) alone has been forced to shoot down over 1,500 rockets and drones. This growing wave of dangerous and destabilising attacks from Iran puts civilian lives at risk, including Australian lives.

In responding to requests, Australia will deploy an E-7A Wedgetail to the Gulf to help protect and defend Australians and other civilians. "

In AC-land Iran should be allowed to bomb civilian centres without anyone interfering. And if a few Australians die? Well its in a good cause, eh?

Completely factual video of yet another US jet being taken out.

We know its completely factual because its on YouTube!!

Hi mhaze,

"Iran’s reprisal attacks continue to escalate, already at a scale and depth we have not seen before; 12 countries in the region are continuing to be targeted."

They're primarily attacking U.S. bases, radars, command centres and anywhere there are U.S. troops or decision makers.
Did you know Trumps begging for a ceasefire and even calling Putin to ask him to step in and help stop the war?
Iran can keep this up for a few months at least.

I truly think they thought they'd kill the Ayatollah and the people would rise up and it would be over in a few days.
Too bad they don't watch the content I do, they would've know this assumption to be inaccurate.

"The United Arab Emirates (UAE) alone has been forced to shoot down over 1,500 rockets and drones. This growing wave of dangerous and destabilising attacks from Iran puts civilian lives at risk, including Australian lives."
- The UAE is the Gulf state most closely aligned with Israel.

"In responding to requests, Australia will deploy an E-7A Wedgetail to the Gulf to help protect and defend Australians and other civilians."
- This plane will be targeted for certain if they're based in the region. I won't surprised if it gets hit. Albo should not have sent it.

"In AC-land Iran should be allowed to bomb civilian centres without anyone interfering. And if a few Australians die? Well its in a good cause, eh?"
- Geez that's a bit rich isn't it?
Your hypocrisy knows no bounds, for 2 and a half years you acted like Israel should be able to bomb civilian centres in Gaza without anyone interfering, and not once did you show a thread of humanity for those people.

If you're going to apply a rule on a moral basis and expect people to take you seriously, then you should apply that basis equally to all involved participants. If not, you're just displaying bias.

The magic carpet video was no less factual than your claim Iran targeted it's own schoolgirls in a double tap strike.

"Did you know Trumps begging for a ceasefire and even calling Putin to ask him to step in and help stop the war? Iran can keep this up for a few months at least."

Struth....you are truly delusional.

More completely true information from Iran...

It must be true because Iran wouldn't lie about this.

Meanwhile in the real world as the fog of war starts to lift and we see some data we can rely on....

Iran is taking a massive pounding.
They are rapidly running out of missiles and drones to fire at their neighbours.
Calculations are that the number of missiles/drones launched in the past day or so is down 85% on the first few days.
Iran has appointed a new supreme leader who may already be dead. He's Schrodinger's Ayatollah.
He was appointed by the IRGC which means they are now running the country. The Islamic Republic is finished.
Hezzbullah are asking for a ceasefire as they are squeezed between Israel and a Lebanese government that's had enough of these interlopers, while at the same time being unable to resupply from Iran.
Iran's one real play was to try to get the price of oil to rise to around US$150. But that's now fallen apart.
Iran and all the other anti-US nations around will have noticed that neither Russia nor China have been neither willing nor able to provide anything but minimal help.
