Middle east crisis.

If Iran hadn't started it by providing significant money to Hamas and other organisations that target Israel, Israel wouldn't be retaliating.

Israel has been goading for some time.

Israel has a large complacent of Iranian soldiers on their border with Syria. Rockets coming over the border frequently.

Tonight Iran are firing drones and missiles directly from iran into Israel . Fortunately the Israel airforce with help from the RAF have managed to stop most of the missiles and drones

If Israel hadn't attacked a foreign embassy in a foreign country they wouldn't be retaliating, I don't think we've seen the end of this.

[Hamble]

The retaliation and escalation, I think we are probably nearer nuclear war than any time in the last 50 years.

So no food aid delivery and no Palestine?

Think like a terrorist not helpful is it?

With useful idiots like you making excuses for terrorism just emboldens.

War has changed.Using proxies and safe spaces under the guise of diplomatic spaces for terrorists to hide has crossed a red line.

It doesn't alter the fact that it is a violation of 2 countries making the attack on the embassy under International Law, Israel have stooped the the level of the terrorists and have escalated the situation.

If the UK had not attacked a Foreign Country the UK would have been spared all the death and destruction committed on our soil and those attacks still being foiled.
The cancer is still with us and still recruiting useful idiots.

…or perhaps, it's Netanyahu & Co. advancing their personal agendas?

?
Check your facts on that.
It was a building next to the Iranian Embassy.

Well Zero, you know very well that’s not the case.

It’s the Islamic will, to decimate Israel, and kill all the Jews.

A rather frightening night happened last night. 361 Ballistic missiles and heavily loaded drones were targeted towards Israel from Iran.
Fortunately they were intercepted by Israel, Jordan, UK,France, US and Saudi

Of the 361 missiles a few managed to get through, and tragically shrapnel seriously injured a 7 year old Bedouin child in the head.

Civilians in Israel are now told to stay near their shelters for the next 48 hours.

I really hope and pray that Netanyahu will not decide to Nuke Iran. Which at this stage is a big possibility.

Iran have been sitting on the border of Syria/ Israel for many years. Also building up quite a huge arsenal of sophisticated weapons , which are distributed to Hizbollah in Lebanon.
Iranians are now running the Syrian army.
Iranians are held in poverty while their religious leaders are sending weapons and money to Hamas.

The bombing of the Embassy was no doubt in retaliation..

Prime Minister Netanyahu & Co. made decisions in the aftermath off October 7. They decided on massive, retributive destruction starting from the north of Gaza and forcing the population to flee southward — as opposed to a more targeted, less physically destructive response. Did Netanyahu anticipate demoralized Palestinians, seeing their homes and all destroyed, determined to escape Gaza altogether? Did he expect pressure on Egypt to permit a mass exodus of Palestinians? As we know, the Palestinians did not disperse into Israel's neighbouring countries. | So, what next for Netanyahu, given his need to avoid unrelated prosecutions, etc.? Within Israel speculation has been that Bibi needs protracted crises to remain in office. Had a mass exodus of Palestinians occurred, then Netanyahu could have claimed a significant advance of the uncompromising Zionists' dream of eliminating non-Jews from Eretz Yisrael — an objective widely shared among the Israeli so-called 'right' and perhaps more widely, given the traumatic October 7 events. As the sequence of events unfolded, the Israeli government's options became constrained — they having initiated a course of maximum belligerence. Perhaps now, Netanyahu calculated that more aggression, NOT LESS; more retribution, NOT LESS was his best personal option — never mind the risks!
