France will increase its nuclear warheads for the first time in decades, French President Emmanuel Macron announced on Monday, saying that “to be free, we have to be feared”. Macron delivered the update on the country’s nuclear strategy in a keynote speech from the military base hosting the nation's ballistic missile submarines.

The talk of the political people online about the possibility of there being "no deaths" and this being a great political victory is annoying. It ignores the deaths of those in those countries most affected... for one... and then also the fact Trump had insisted already some casualty was going to be likely. Still, focusing on the number is missing the plot also. Any amount of death is a tragedy. Yes, less is better, but the quicker that this can possibly go, the better the outcome for just about everyone involved...

Unrelated, our primary is tomorrow. It's another data point but it will be interesting to see how that impacts things also as that's when most Republicans show up to the polls. Election outcomes will certainly impact any future decision-making in terms of a time table. Thinking otherwise is probably foolish... but if it means more hard left candidates rise out of it, then that may actually be desirable depending both on how cynical the administration thinks the average public has become and also whether they get the "right" candidates to run against them. It looks like a few candidates could be primaried locally but I think it leads to a run off so it's hard to say.

Reading through this thread, it feels like we’re all supposed to be “for” this war, and anyone who isn’t gets written off as weak. I’m struggling to see what Britain or Europe actually gain from getting dragged into it. What’s the tangible benefit for us, our economy, or our security? Because right now it looks like we’re backing a conflict without any clear idea of what we get out of it.

The people can't rise up against 500,000 armed regime supporters. I also have no idea what the Shah's grandson is doing. Does he think people have forgotten how corrupt the Shah's regime wasI acknowledge that Iran’s former leadership was brutal, but I keep coming back to the same question: is it really the responsibility of the USA and Europe to intervene—and for what benefit? What do we actually gain by entering yet another conflict in the Middle East? In the short term, I don’t see any obvious advantages for our security, our economy, or our political stability.

History hasn’t treated these interventions kindly. We remove one regime, only for another group to fill the vacuum—often just as untrustworthy, sometimes even worse. It can take years, sometimes a decade or more, before the West even begins to understand the new power structure, let alone influence it. And during that entire period, it’s ordinary people who suffer the consequences.

That’s what concerns me most. People are dying right now, and once a war begins, it becomes incredibly difficult to control or contain. Conflicts like this escalate quickly, and as more civilians are killed, the pressure to retaliate—officially or unofficially—only increases. That’s how small wars turn into regional ones.

So yes, Iran has been a problem for a long time. But does that automatically make it our responsibility to “liberate” them? And what does liberation even look like when there are still half a million armed loyalists to the regime? These are the questions no one seems willing to address, yet they’re the ones that matter most.

to be honestTotally agree.

You’re absolutely right about the IRGC’s long history. It’s been embedded above the regular army for nearly half a century, and that scale gets ignored far too often. You’re also spot on that short‑term thinking from political leaders doesn’t take any of that into account. Framing this as something that can be fixed in a few weeks of heavy strikes really does risk repeating the same pattern we saw in Iraq.

Iran has already been contributing to terror, so that isn't a new threat. It's better to deal with the regime now then sit by while they continue to fold in more of those people into foreign populations that they can use to cause even more problems.

i think by this time next week everything will start to settle down again. Iran has been seriously depleted. They can say that their organisation will survive losing all its top officials, but it's not really true. There may be some rogue operators around the world, but they have always been there. Free societies are always vulnerable to terrorism, that's part of being a free society.

The biggest knock-on event seems to be that things are kicking off between Afghanistan and Pakistan, and most people will probably be happy to leave them to it

Our energy prices have been a lot lower here. I just updated my electric contract for the lowest rates in years (closer to what it used to be pre-TX outage) and we had $1.99/gal gas in Houston recently. That's very low. Curious where it will end up now but we tend to be cheaper as we are where everything is processed.

Reading through this thread, it feels like we’re all supposed to be “for” this war, and anyone who isn’t gets written off as weak. I’m struggling to see what Britain or Europe actually gain from getting dragged into it. What’s the tangible benefit for us, our economy, or our security? Because right now it looks like we’re backing a conflict without any clear idea of what we get out of it.

This for me.

I am actually questioning even the legality of this action by the USA and Israel.

I shed no tears for the loss of the supreme leader of Iran but there's no way I could put much or any faith in Trump and/or Netanyahu.

Kurdish dissident groups say they are preparing to join the fight against Iran with US support
https://apnews.com/article/kurdish-dissident-groups-iran-war-iraq-f76efe372becb7d80d3ed026791e67ba

IRBIL, Iraq (AP) — Kurdish Iranian dissident groups based in northern Iraq are preparing for a potential cross-border military operation in Iran, and the U.S. has asked Iraqi Kurds to support them, Kurdish officials told The Associated Press.

The Kurdish groups are widely seen as the most well-organized segment of the fragmented Iranian opposition and are believed to have thousands of trained fighters. Their entry into the war could pose a significant challenge to the embattled authorities in Tehran and could also risk pulling Iraq further into the conflict.

Khalil Nadiri an official with the Kurdistan Freedom Party, or PAK, based in northern Iraq’s semi-autonomous Kurdish region said Wednesday that some of their forces had moved to areas near the Iranian border in Sulaymaniyah province and were on standby.

He said Kurdish opposition group leaders had been contacted by U.S. officials regarding a potential operation, without giving more details.

Asked about reports that the Trump administration was considering arming Iranian Kurdish groups, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told reporters Wednesday: “None of our objectives are premised on the support or the arming of any particular force. So, what other entities may be doing, we’re aware of, but our objectives aren’t centered on that.”

CIA working to arm Kurdish forces, aims to spark uprising against Iran regime
https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/cia-working-arm-kurdish-forces-170637970.html

Iranian Kurdish opposition forces are expected to take part in a ground operation in Western Iran in the coming days, a senior Iranian Kurdish official told CNN.

The CIA is working to arm Kurdish forces with the aim of fomenting a popular uprising in Iran, multiple people familiar with the plan told CNN.

The Trump administration has been in active discussions with Iranian opposition groups and Kurdish leaders in Iraq about providing them with military support, the sources said.

Iranian Kurdish armed groups have thousands of forces operating along the Iraq-Iran border, primarily in Iraq’s Kurdistan region. Several of the groups have released public statements since the beginning of the war, hinting at imminent action and urging Iranian military forces to defect.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has been striking Kurdish groups and said it targeted Kurdish forces with dozens of drones, CNN reported.

Trump spoke with the president of the Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan (KDPI), Mustafa Hijri, according to a senior Iranian Kurdish official cited by CNN. KDPI was one of the groups targeted by the IRGC.

The thread filled up fast with people talking like armchair generals, pushing for escalation as if none of it would ever touch their own lives. It was surprising for a moment, then not at all — it’s always easier to sound brave when it’s someone else’s family who’d end up paying the price. And with the situation already slipping out of control, the cheerleading felt even more detached from reality. In the middle of all that noise, the one bit of relief was that Starmer wasn’t lining up behind Trump’s stance. At least the UK wasn’t acting like someone else’s puppet while everything around it kept heating up.

People can dislike Iran’s behaviour around the world for all sorts of reasons, but they didn’t try to annex a neighbour. That distinction matters in any discussion about how these situations unfolded and why the international response looks so different.

it depends on so many things. Trumps administration are throwing out a series of justifications, hoping one sticks, but the rules based international law is no more. None of the 3 super powers give a toss about international law. In that circumstance, countries have a far smaller margin for pointing fingers at tyrants. They have no teeth.

However, congress have basically voted to give the ok to the iran war, so Trump now has all the justification he needs

Donald Trump has said he needs to be "involved" in the appointment of Iran's next leader, according to a report from Axios, external, which has interviewed the US president.

According to Axios, Trump referenced reports that the son of Iran's former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed in a strike on Saturday, could be named as his successor.

"They are wasting their time. Khamenei's son is a lightweight. I have to be involved in the appointment, like with Delcy [Rodriguez] in Venezuela," Trump is quoted as saying. "Khamenei's son is unacceptable to me. We want someone that will bring harmony and peace to Iran."

It's quite ironic really that Starmer is being praised now for standing up to the US when it's actually just a reflection of his weakness at home. The only reason he now appears to have stood up to Trump is because his own cabinet was too divided and basically forced him into a position where he couldn't give a clear view. He's totally lucked his way into what has turned out to be one of the most popular moments of his Premiership

[Smoke has been seen billowing above
the world famous Yas Marina in Abu Dhabi
as Iran unleashes another drone attack
on the United Arab Emirates.

Dubai residents have rushed to shelters with
sirens blaring across the country as the
Iranian regime continues to furiously target Israel,
the US and its allies in the Middle East.

A number of alerts have rung out across Dubai,
Abu Dhabi and Fujairah, warning residents
and visitors to stay safe after the UAE confirmed
it was struck with a ballistic missile and six drones
following a barrage of 131 suicide drones.]

The way I see it, the biggest difference is that Ukraine was actually invaded. People can dislike Iran’s behaviour around the world for all sorts of reasons, but they didn’t try to annex a neighbour. That distinction matters in any discussion about how these situations unfolded and why the international response looks so different.

I wasn't trying to draw a comparison between the two conflicts, more trying to demonstrate that one man's illegal war is another's legitimate action. Iran hasn't tried to annexe Israel but it has spent years bombing it, firing thousands of rockets in targeting both the military and civilians, if it wasn't for Iron Dome the place would be a smouldering crater. This isn't something that's been happening since the USA bombed Iran this week. I feel like this has been coming for ages and the action by Israel and the USA is backed by others in the middle east - UAE, Saudi, Kuwait, Qatar, Jordan, Bahrain, who are all as terrified of Iran becoming a nuclear power as the West. Iran is a friend to terrorists, it trains, arms and protects them. Every terrorist atrocity in recent years has Iran somewhere in the mix. It was only a matter of time until they had to be stopped. It's unsavoury, maybe, but it was inevitable in my opinion.

The patterns we see today have been developing for years, and this situation didn't arise suddenly. However, I still believe it isn't our responsibility to intervene in other nations and remove a regime we disapprove of, and I've consistently held that view. This is especially true in the very volatile Middle East. While the Iranian leadership is indeed flawed—there's no denying that—sometimes the devil you know is better than the devil you don't. I'm not convinced that whatever comes next would necessarily be an improvement.

Agree. We only need to defend ourselves if they attack our bases.

The Iranian capability to directly attack Israel or to develop nukes has been set back by at least 10-20 years by now. To put that into perspective, its about half the time the iran republic has currently existed for. So it's a significant milestone.

My feeling is that this has all been done to lay the foundations for and secure the future of the Trump Gaza resort and spa

The Iran threat will not disappear, but it will morph into terrorist attacks on the vulnerable public around the world. Even if a quarter of the current heavies in iran relocate to the rest of the world as refugees/ asylum seekers, thats potentially going to be 250,000 terrorists hellbent on revenge

I think the fact that so many countries in the middle east are supporting this tells us all we need to know about the reasons for this conflict. If Iran had the opportunity to develop its nuclear capabilities this country would definitely be as risk, the fact we're not involving ourselves in this wouldn't change that. We're already at risk, letting others do the fighting won't save us. I do get where you're coming from, we'll have to agree to disagree, though.

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office says in its updated guidance: “Terrorist attacks in Cyprus cannot be ruled out.”

It adds: “There is a high threat of terrorist attack globally affecting UK interests and British nationals, including from groups and individuals who view the UK and British nationals as targets. Stay aware of your surroundings at all times.”

US President Donald Trump says "there will be no deal with Iran except UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER".

Writing on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump adds: "After that, and the selection of a GREAT & ACCEPTABLE Leader(s), we, and many of our wonderful and very brave allies and partners, will work tirelessly to bring Iran back from the brink of destruction, making it economically bigger, better, and stronger than ever before.

"IRAN WILL HAVE A GREAT FUTURE. 'MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN (MIGA!).'"

Trump is basically creating 90 million terrorists. When the iranian people see that their country has been flattened and they have no future there for their families, they are going to hop on boats to europe

Starmer being the keen legal eagle will accept thousands of new terrorist immigrants to our shores. We were not involved in the war, if we had been, we would at least have had a voice in the outcome. Now we don't
