U.S. evacuates embassy staff from Iraq. All U.S. bases told be on high alert. As Irael plans to strike Iran.

WSJ: “Israel's defense minister said the country had carried out a strike against Iran, pushing the region toward a new conflict with broad consequences.
The strike came hours after U.S. and Israeli officials had warned one was imminent and cuts short a U.S.-led effort to resolve the standoff over Iran's nuclear program diplomatically.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz declared a state of emergency and warned his population that Iran was expected to retaliate for the attack by firing missiles and drones at Israel.”

They have been repeatedly attacked by Israel. These attacks are unprovoked and against the rules of war. It is Israel who does not need nuclear weapons. The religious radical-extremist state of Israel need to be stripped of its nuclear weapons and military.

Sure, because those peace-loving Palestinians and Iranians would never consider trying to exterminate the country and all who live therein.

The patent imbecility of your inane claims is ample justification for a nuclear-armed Israel.

They love peace more than Jews.

Hamas doesn’t want peace. They want the destruction of Israel and the extermination on Jews. The losses on their side are a win because they garner sympathy from the west.

I have Israeli friends who moved to Portugal, France, back to the US, etc in the last year. These are people who were born & raised in Israel, did IDF, and have dual citizenship.

They left because they have kids and knew that this would be the end result. My closest friends left for Portugal five days before Iran's retaliation last year that required US Naval ships to shoot down Iran's hypersonic missiles on the edge of space.

If Iran throws everything they have at Israel, we won't be able to shoot down everything. We'll get most of it, but there will still be multiple mass casualty events in Israel.

Is there any reason why Netanyahu is still in power after 16 years there? He is going to destroy the country.

His obsession with following Iran's weapons are exactly why Hamas were able to commit a terror act on 10/7. Hamas is helped by Israel's rabid obsession with Iran.

Israel is out of control. And Trump is too weak to be a check on it.

I said Palestinians not Hamas.

If all Palestinians are Hamas, then all Jews are Netanyahu who certainly never wanted or liked the word peace. Dont forget he is the guy who bragged about ruining Oslo and getting PM Rabin whacked. Netanyahu is the enemy of peace.

He also promised not to send Americans to war. I wonder if the ICE detainees will somehow be forced to serve giving him a war but not fought by American citizens. Can this even happen?

That's the only sensible explanation for how American politicians let this one troublemaking, genocidal, dangerous country dictate America's foreign policy to America's consistent detriment.

I hope Iran responds the way it did to Iraq's 1980 invasion and makes this a devastating, lengthy war of attrition that leaves Israel devastated economically and militarily with no capacity for further war mongering.

The thing is, if Israel thought Iran was still run by true-believing jihadist zealots (as Israel falsely claims to play on Western countries' fears), it wouldn't attack. Israel is taking advantage of the reality that Iran's leaders are moderate and careful in their international relations. The apartheid state is going to destabilize Iran, cause the return of a truly hardline government, and the world will be MUCH worse off for yet another Libya, this time in the heart of the Middle East.

What a horrible, despicable nation.

That will happen to us not Israel. Iraq devastated us economically. The oil price crisis in 2008 turbocharged the recession which started in 2006 when oil prices started going haywire when Iraqis started burning oil refineries. The subprime mortgage crisis is falsely blamed for causing the recession but people forget the recession was global not national, and it 100% was linked to oil prices. Not to mention it made Putin rich.
"The war will pay for itself" turned out to be a pipe dream and Clinton's surplus turned into Bush's major deficits. Iran is an even bigger player than Iraq when it comes to oil prices.

We will get decimated economically once more by such a war.

Israel will end up clean as they will not pay for this war in blood or money and we all know it.

Iran cannot ignore a direct attack on its soil that kills civilians, PP. Surely you see that's impossible.

But Iran does not have the support it once had. This is why I'm very worried. A cornered rat become unpredictable and dangerous. Specifically, I worry about a dirty bomb. They're months away from nuclear missiles, and they have the capacity to do real damage. Is Israel going to strike the nuclear facilities?

Here we go again, another $5 trillion dollars US pisses away in the middle east on a 20 year war where we don't belong and nothing ever changes.

Meanwhile we don't have healthcare, our infrastructure is falling apart and our national debt is exploding.

Israel made its bed. What they do is none of our concern.

He pointed to the so-called “Clean Break” strategy, a 1996 plan championed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and American neoconservatives, which aimed to reshape the Middle East through preemptive aggressive interventions.

According to Sachs, six out of the seven countries targeted for regime change in the plan—Lebanon, Iraq, Syria, Somalia, Sudan, and Libya—have already been successful targets. Iran remains the final target, he claimed. Netanyahu’s pushing for war with Iran. They’re really trying to get this started to make seven out of seven.”

Trump is not a neoconservative though. He loves Ronald Reagan and Reagan did not go to war. He ended the Cold war with Russia angering neoconservatives.

Sure it can. The Middle East from Egypt to Syria to Iran have ignored attacks on its soil from Israel for years now. Do you believe the assassination of the Iranian president on that airplane was purely accidental? Iran has ignored all the antics thus far from Israel. They know Netanyahu wants war badly and they dont want to give them what they want.
