New (28/2/26) Attack on Iran :13 USA Troops Dead (Israel bombs Tehran in daylight)

[Oliver_W]

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

The time to actually stop the boats was long ago, but the changing circumstances are making it even more important.

But Starmer is basically a devoted zealout when it comes to international law, even at the cost of UK citizens.

I wish we had leadership who had the balls to claim parliamentary sovereignty over international law, and tell the unelected overseers to do one.

The consequence of not starting this war was iran on a path to nuclear weapons. I see it more of a between a rock and a hard place situation.

I'm also not naive enough to believe the west are playing with a straight bat, but no-one ever really does

The UK staying out of the war, doesn't stop us being a target and under those circumstances, europe should have joined with America in its actions. I, personally, in situations of war, would prefer to be on the winning side

Fuel prices are climbing again, the war is burning through a billion a day, and the new leader already looks like they’re on borrowed time. I honestly don’t understand how anyone can stand there and declare “victory” in the middle of all this, but that seems to be the line we’re getting.

From where I’m sitting, Starmer is handling this about as sensibly as anyone can. The last thing we need is to get dragged deeper into a conflict that’s escalating by the week. Keeping some distance isn’t weakness — it’s self‑preservation. And now that the situation is spiralling, it’s even more important that we’re not tied to every decision being made on the ground.

The irony is hard to ignore: the war is being fuelled by weapons originally meant for Ukraine. It’s a mess, and not just for the people directly involved — the fallout hits all of us, whether it’s energy prices, supply chains, or the general sense that everything is getting more unstable.

None of this feels like “victory”. It feels like we’re all bracing for whatever comes next.

…Trump really doesn’t care though, does he…if it is indeed a US missile that killed the children in the school then that shows the extent of what he obviously feels is a ‘tolerable and acceptable fallout’ so why would he care about energy prices or anything this all could mean to those who were already living the breadline…he has no understanding of care beyond his privileged world in any of his actions, ever…

the price of oil affects inflation, not just on oil, but every good and service. So it affects him personally, as it will drive his popularity at home down further.

All his words yesterday were designed to take the heat out of the oil prices. Whether the war actually stops isn't really up to him. If Iran keep firing missiles at their neighbours, then the war isn't over. If the new supreme leader is out for vengeance, the war isn't over

Many leaders before trump have found out that war isn't that simple, and I don't see this one being any different

There is bound to be a mass displacement of iranians and where are they going to go? Where better than the UK where they know they will be treated well

….that was always an obvious given from the beginning, the displacement of Iranian citizens at a time when immigration has called a crisis point anyway but Trump is such a ‘surface’ person who has no thought in terms of depth or consequence etc because he rarely seems to consider or accept that he can’t control everything…and yes, I agree and realise that inflation impacts him on a personal level as well but I do also think that he’s balancing that loss up as well because he’s making these things happen so is able to build on and preserve any possible losses…maybe he’s even more wealthy through and because of the conflicts…it’s not as if for Trump, he wakes up on a given day and has to face a world he didn’t figure himself…

“They like sinking them better. They say it’s safer to sink him. I guess it’s probably true. But, uh, think of it, we knocked out 46 and actually took 3 and a half days.”

CNN issues groveling apology over sympathetic tweet about two suspected ISIS terrorists who hurled bomb outside NYC mayor's mansion
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/media/article-15632311/cnn-tweet-suspects-new-york-city-bombing-mayor-gracie-mansion.html

CNN was forced to delete a post that made light of the suspected ISIS-inspired bombing attempt near New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani's home over the weekend.

The initial X post described suspects Emir Balat, 18, and Ibrahim Kayumi, 19, as 'two Pennsylvania teenagers' who simply 'crossed into New York City Saturday morning for what could've been a normal day enjoying the city during abnormally warm weather.'

'But in less than an hour, their lives would drastically change as the pair would be arrested for throwing homemade bombs during an anti-Muslim protest outside of Mayor Zohran Mamdani's home,' it continued.

The post's poor construction was promptly highlighted by a horde of onlookers before being deleted around 9:30am Tuesday.

CNN released a statement shortly thereafter, admitting the post 'failed to reflect the gravity of the incident thereby breaching the editorial standards we require for all our reporting.'

'It has therefore been deleted,' a CNN spokesperson further told the Daily Mail Tuesday morning.

BBC Link:

[As Iran vows to continue targeting shipping
in the Strait of Hormuz, around 20,000 seafarers remain
stuck on vessels in the Persian Gulf.

[BBC News understands that eight seafarers
have now been killed since this conflict
began and three more remain unaccounted
for as a result of the attack on
a Thai-flagged bulk carrier,
the Mayuree Naree.

The welfare of the men and women who
move goods around the world by sea
will be at the top of the agenda when the
UN’s International Maritime
Organization (IMO) meets next week.
The emergency meeting in London was called
by Egypt, France, Qatar, Morocco,
the United Arab Emirates and the UK.
However, aside from diplomatic pressure
and a statement condemning what’s
happening it’s hard to see what action
the IMO can take.

It’s regulations require ships to be
“sufficiently and efficiently manned”.
So whilst the IMO is trying to coordinate
efforts to look after those who are
stuck on board with supplies and internet access,
they remain sitting targets for
further Iranian attacks.]

This White House video is honestly grim. They’ve taken real footage of U.S. strikes — real explosions, real people dying — and cut it together like a joke reel, complete with gaming‑style edits and meme pacing. It treats war like entertainment, as if civilian lives and soldiers’ deaths are just visual effects to punch up with pop‑culture clips.

There’s something deeply wrong about presenting lethal force with the same tone people use for TikTok edits. It flattens everything — fear, loss, consequences — into a flashy montage designed to get likes. Whatever the intention was, the result is flippant, unserious, and disturbingly detached from the reality of ordinary people caught in the middle.

If this is what official messaging looks like now, we’ve crossed a line. War shouldn’t be marketed like a video game trailer.

You don’t have to agree with every take they had, but the overall picture they painted wasn’t exactly reassuring.

Yeah, it was ever thus.

Thing is, when Muslim extremists target schools and nurseries, they call it strategy. And they're almost always funded, equipped or trained - sometimes all three - by Iran. When one of their own schools is hit, they call it a war crime. Don't get me wrong, in no way do I support targeting schools, ever. But it's something both sides are guilty of, but only one side does it on purpose.

[GiRTh]

Schools get bombed during wars. In WW2 a school full of kids waiting to be evacuated in Canning Town was bombed by the Germans, everyone died. A Copenhagen school was bombed by the RAF after being mistaken for Gestapo HQ. 120 people were killed including 90 kids. That's just 2 out of many. These are terrible things that happen in war. It is not unique to Donald Trump.Exactly — what was the point of going to war in the first place? None of the explanations we’ve been fed make any real sense. If the goal was to - change Iran’s leadership - then we’re talking about a scenario that would come with massive casualties on all sides, and anyone pretending otherwise is lying to themselves. There’s no clean, surgical way to topple a government of that size and influence.

What it does look like is the U.S. getting dragged into something it didn’t fully control. Whether that was pressure from Netanyahu or just Washington overestimating its own leverage, the end result is the same: they’ve walked straight into a conflict that’s already expanding faster than they can contain it. And now we’re seeing outside players — including Putin — stepping in to support Iran, which only widens the whole mess.

The U.S. keeps insisting the situation is “nearly over,” but that’s pure fantasy. In barely a week the conflict has already grown beyond anything they can manage, and the people making these statements know it. They’re just hoping the public doesn’t notice how badly they’ve miscalculated.

Very True

[GiRTh]

if trump just walks away now claiming victory, he will have created an ongoing mess, much worse than before he started this war. If he continues, his maga base are going to lose patience with him quickly. I have no idea what option he will chooseAgree and if he really kicked this off because Netanyahu pushed for it, that just makes the whole thing look even more naïve — no serious leader should be dragged into a war on someone else’s whim. At this point, whichever option he picks comes with fallout he can’t dodge.

[GiRTh]

If the Iran deal had stayed in place, there’s a good chance this whole situation would be a lot less volatile. It wasn’t perfect, but it kept things contained and gave both sides a way to de‑escalate. Once it was torn up, Iran stopped complying, tensions ramped up, and everything became more unpredictable.

And let’s be honest — a big part of why it had to go was simply because Obama’s name was on it. That’s the kind of decision‑making that’s been criticised for years: scrapping a functioning agreement not because it failed, but because it came from the previous administration. It’s hard to call that anything other than poor leadership, especially when the fallout is exactly what people warned about at the time.

[The Dumb Reason Trump Keeps Calling
His Iran War a ‘Little Excursion’]


[In recent days, President Donald Trump
has repeatedly referred to his
illegal war on Iran – in which American troops
are dying – as an “excursion,”
a term generally reserved for describing pleasant
little family sojourns or brief, fun vacations.

This is, according to sources in and close to the
administration, because the president is confusing
the term “military incursion” with a
“military excursion,” a phrase typically used
only to ridicule foreign adventurism
and warmongering.
Some of these sources say that they
or their colleagues have used the term
“incursion” in front of Trump lately,
but then the president just… did his own thing.]

Im glad we're seeing that trump is not well. We keep hearing experts raise concerns about Trump’s health, and the fact he’s taken the same dementia screening test twice in ten years is being pointed to as a red flag by people who follow this stuff. Most folks don’t take that test once, never mind twice, unless someone around them thinks it’s necessary.

And now, with everything going on, he's apparently fixated on… shoes. He’s reportedly insisting his Cabinet wear Florsheim shoes - Go look it up, its real - like that’s the national priority right now. It’s surreal watching all this unfold while the country’s dealing with far bigger issues, yet he’s zeroed in on footwear like it’s the crisis of the century.

But then, many more possible dead USA Troops

President Trump is Getting Nasty
He keeps saying
he helps Nato, and he may stop
As the UK/Germany/France /Spain and others all say No to Trump

He wants Ships to help him
in that the Iran alley of water

this is the same guy who was going to invade a nato member a few months ago and is forcing europe to pay for the weapons to fight russia in ukraine.

This is the same president who put tariffs on his fellow nato members. This is the same president who criticised the uk last week for offering support and said it wasn't needed.

There is no trust left between europe and the usa

…this is the same guy who is destroying every trust that the world has built and had with the US and that the US has built and had with the world…I always naively thought that the ‘President of the US’ was a team of people and that one person alone would not be given free reign to create world chaos and impact world peace but here we are…

One thing I've noticed is that JD Vance is staying very quiet all through this. Maybe he didn't agree with it and/or is trying to protect his chances in 2028

…haven’t Vance and Trump just taken a press conference together and Vance has reinforced his support of Trump and his decisions/actions….

The Government Minister
has gone on all TV and Radio today

He says Petrol is up a few pence more
But go about your life as normal.

I would think, though, if in a month's time
if this war is still dragging on
it could be only Drive with restrictions

Unfortunately, the availability of oil won't recover for at least 6 months, if the war stopped today. Thousands of ships are in the wrong place, oil production has been scaled back and that type of disruption has knock-on effects for months. We know the effect that covid had on supply chains and this could be much worse

Ah I hadn't seen that although still feels significant that that's the first time it's happened so almost feels in response to Vance otherwise trying to stay out of it as much as possible. Ultimately he'll be bound by collective responsibility but might not be so supportive in private

[bots]

Vance has never actually supported the war. What he said was that Iran shouldn't have nukes and that Trump is a much better president than previous ones. He chooses his words very carefully

He is doing what he should do as VP, which is to not make himself a major focal point. That said:

Vance-Rubio rivalry put into sharp contrast by Iran war

The primaries are going on so too much infighting (than is normal) wouldn't be the greatest idea, either.

'WE DON'T NEED THE HELP OF ANYONE': Trump criticises Nato allies
published at 15:45
15:45
More now from Trump, who says in a lengthy post on Truth Social that "most" Nato allies have said "they don’t want to get involved with our Military Operation" against Iran.

Trump says he is "not surprised by their action" and that he has always considered Nato "to be a one-way street".

He says: "Because of the fact that we have had such Military Success, we no longer 'need,' or desire, the NATO Countries’ assistance — WE NEVER DID! Likewise, Japan, Australia, or South Korea.

"In fact, speaking as President of the United States of America, by far the Most Powerful Country Anywhere in the World, WE DO NOT NEED THE HELP OF ANYONE!"

The post comes after Trump requested the help of Nato allies to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz - which he does not specifically mention in his post.

Trump Official Resigns in Protest Over War With Iran: ‘Posed No Imminent Threat’


Joe Kent, the Trump-appointed director of the National Counterterrorism Center, resigned in protest from his position on Tuesday over President Donald Trump’s war with Iran.

“After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today,” wrote Kent in a letter to Trump, which he also made public on social media:

I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.

I support the values and the foreign policies that you campaigned on in 2016, 2020, 2024, which you enacted in your first term. Until June of 2025, you understood that the wars in the Middle East were a trap that robbed America of the precious lives of our patriots and depleted the wealth and prosperity of our nation.

In your first administration, you understood better than any modern President how to decisively apply military power without getting us drawn into never-ending wars. You demonstrated this by killing Qasam Solamani and by defeating ISIS.

Early in this administration, high-ranking Israeli officials and influential members of the American media deployed a misinformation campaign that wholly undermined your America First platform and sowed pro-war sentiments to encourage a war with Iran. This echo chamber was used to deceive you into believing that Iran posed an imminent threat to the United States, and that should you strike now, there was a clear path to a swift victory. This was a lie and is the same tactic the Israelis used to draw us into the disastrous Iraq war that cost our nation the lives of thousands of our best men and women. We cannot make this mistake again.

As a veteran who deployed to combat 11 times and as a Gold Star husband who lost my beloved wife Shannon in a war manufactured by Israel, I cannot support sending the next generation off to fight and die in a war that serves no benefit to the American people nor justifies the cost of American lives.

I pray that you will reflect upon what we are doing in Iran, and who we are doing it for. The time for bold action is now. You can reverse course and chart a new path for our nation, or you can allow us to slip further toward decline and chaos. You hold the cards.

It was an honor to serve in your administration and to serve our great nation.
