Iran likes to talk a lot but will end up doing nothing as usual
Best get our shiniest plate out and give it a good polishing. We’ll need it to hand Iran their arse on it.
Trump would love an excuse to simply give the order to wipe out the Iranian regime so he can spend the next few years taking all the credit for it, or rather giving himself the credit for it.
Was it in the late 70s or early 80s when Iran decided to attack a US ship, so the Americans destroyed their *entire* navy in under an hour?
Love being allied with Israel. Love it when we have to get dragged into their mess.
If the regime is about to fall then they might just start targeting anything, although if they did this it would hasten that because the US would get directly involved.
Iran need everything they have for the conflict with Isreal which they are currently loosing. Threatening people that arn’t attacking them is rather silly.
Realistically what could they use they may have a ballistic missile that could hit a British base but currently they are getting rolled by the Israeli Airforce who appear to have total air supremacy over Iran. Excessive sabre rattling brought them to this point I am not sure they really want to continue down that same path by dragging in Western Militaries as well.
If the brits, French and the US keep supporting Israel with intelligence services and weapons, they are already directly involved. Doesn’t matter how bad it gets, these three countries are always involved when it comes to messing up with the world and in the middle East specifically. Israel is on the wrong side, always been since the ’50s
withing 45 minutes?
sorry otherwise I can’t take it seriously
This is classic ‚I could take the lot of yous‘ talk from someone who is beat and wants to back off while convincing themself that they aren’t. I never thought I’d see a similarity between Iran and a drunk Glaswegian but there you go.
Given we are supplying Israel with weapons and training their troops it’s not altogether surprising we are getting dragged into this. Iran may not respond with conventional attacks but their ability to harm us through terrorist attacks should not be underestimated
Probably an empty threat, but we shouldn’t be offering much support to Isreal at this point for moral reasons anyway
So, they want to attack NATO? Well, that’s only going to end one way for them.
It’s a bold strategy, let’s see if it pays off for them
>if the uk interferes
Zero reason for us to get involved. Leave it to the yanks. We do not want to get involved in another Iraq or Afghanistan situation. We can barely afford to give our own people disability benefits. Fighting wars for the Americans who impose tariffs on us would be utterly humiliating from Starmer
I think what we should be doing is getting together with our allies in Europe, stop giving Israel a free pass to do what they like, and get Netanyahu to stop randomly bombing his neighbours
That would be bad timing for them with CSG25 in the area
That would be the worst thing they could do for their own story.
It would be so nice if we could just close the door on the whole of the middle east and leave them to fight it out amongst themselves where we can’t see them.
Completely unrealistic unfortunately.
If this does end up over here, I’m not paying my bills.
They won’t do this because they would get absolutely destroyed. I mean even Israel could destroy them. Britain would pulverise them. But why are they even threatening us?
„Iran formally requests to be bombarded into the dark ages. Again.“
There. Fixed your title
Iran is all talk and no trousers. They’ve had a crap beat out of them for years and can’t actually retaliate with anything apart from prickly words.
Iran is like that kid who threatens to do nasty stuff but realises the consequences are far beyond what they can handle.
We should **not** help Israel here. Israel did not explicitly warn the UK of this. We should not be dragged into this mess just because Netanyahu wants to stay in power and avoid prison for a bit longer. We should stay neutral and not even give weapons.
This is not Israel defending themselves. This is Israel starting a war with Iran.
Headline is missing out the big caveat that Iran is threatening to target American, British and French based *if those nations intercede militarily on Israels side*. Pretty major thing to miss out.
Come on Guardian, you’re one of only two remaining halfway sane papers in the country. Be better.
