Well, it was only a matter of timing … Winter Olympics, state of the union address and Super Bowl all done … Israel jumped the gun though ? US are taking part in a 2nd wave though. |  |

Good for Australia👍 |
What's your reasoning here, Benters? These strikes on Iran are illegal and risk a wider conflict in the region and could indirectly lead to conflict in other parts of the world. Nobody wants the Iranian regime in place but there are lots of bad regimes out there and we can't just wade in and start bombing all of them. |  |

This is a man who wanted to machine gun asylum seekers off the cliffs of dover - I fear your rationale may be somewhat lost on them. |  | | |

How many of these bad regimes have killed 43,000 of their own citizens in the last month and are on the verge of developing a nuclear weapon with a stated aim of wiping one of their neighbours of the face of the earth? [Post edited 28 Feb 12:47]

the neighbour who wiped out 80 odd thousand of its own citizens, and has right wingers in their government with a stated aim of wiping out a people group from their own country that already has nuclear weapons?
no guarantee that a new regime will be less murderous than the current one. bcwywf. |  |

I always think it worth noting that one of the leaders of CND, a person that was actually jailed for protesting, and served time in prison as a conscientious objector, saw the need for military action to stop brutal dictatorships from killing its own citizens.
He was also a bit of an anarchist.
Whilst there isn’t a standing army to stop brutal dictators, I am not entirely sure how people think you can protect lives in Iran. |  | | |

That's all very well but does anyone really think the regime is going to be overthrown like this? Even if they somehow manage to depose the Ayatollah, the likes of Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya have shown controlled succession is not simple. Even Venezuela has just seen the second in command take over. | |

My personal view is that Trump will let the people of Iran down. That does not mean we shouldn't want what is best for the Iranian people. | |

Of course he will let down the people of Iran. The last set of negotiations were led by two property developers (Kusnher and Witkoff)
This is about supporting Israel, not doing what is right for the people of Iran. | | | |

And he’s so serious about it, the operation is being run from a conference room at his Golf club in Florida.
He summoned Hegseth and senior leaders there, rather than returning to Washington
And posted this fake story about Iran about 2 hours before strikes began.

Australia supporting the attack.
Anthony Albanese
Australia stands with the brave people of Iran in their struggle against oppression.
For decades, the Iranian regime has been a destabilising force, through its ballistic missile and nuclear programs, support for armed proxies, and brutal acts of violence and intimidation.
Iran directed at least two attacks on Australian soil in 2024. These appalling acts targeting Australia’s Jewish community were intended to create fear, divide our society and challenge our sovereignty. In response, Australia took the unprecedented steps of expelling Iran’s Ambassador, suspending operations at our embassy in Tehran, and listing the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a state sponsor of terrorism.
Our Government has sanctioned more than 200 Iranian-linked individuals, including more than 100 linked to the IRGC.
With international partners, including the United States and the G7, we have called for the Iranian regime to uphold the human rights and fundamental freedoms of Iran’s citizens.
These calls have gone unheeded. Instead, the regime has instigated a brutal crackdown on its own people leaving thousands of Iranian civilians dead. A regime that relies on the repression and murder of its own people to retain power is without legitimacy.
It has long been recognised that Iran’s nuclear program is a threat to global peace and security. The international community has been clear that the Iranian regime can never be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon. The United Nations Security Council has reimposed sanctions on Iran for failing to comply with the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action and the International Atomic Energy Agency Board has formally declared Iran in non-compliance with its non-proliferation safeguards obligations.
We support the United States acting to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and to prevent Iran continuing to threaten international peace and security.
Australian officials are closely monitoring this evolving situation. We continue
to advise Australians do not travel to Iran and leave Iran as soon as possible, if it is safe to do so. Our ability to provide consular assistance in Iran is extremely limited.
Given our concerns around security in the region, we have also upgraded Australia’s travel advice for Israel and Lebanon to Do Not Travel. Australians should leave now if it is safe to do so.
The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade has activated its Crisis Centre to provide consular support to Australians in the region.
Australians requiring urgent consular assistance can contact the Consular Emergency Centre 24/7 on 1300 555 135 in Australia or +61 2 6261 3305 from outside Australia. |

You wouldn't bomb Israel based on that logic though surely?
There's a lot more subtlety and considerations here - likewise should we just nuke Moscow or at least carpet bomb it?
This isn't a moral crusade and it's incredibly dangerous that it's been brewing for months and unleashed now. |  |

I'm not sure any of them meet the very narrow criteria that you've set, criteria that specifically belong to Iran. But there are plenty of other regimes that are pretty horrific. North Korea, China, Russia, Belarus, look at what the Saudis have done in Yemen and their various other human rights abuses. So other nations might not be as bad as Iran in exactly the same way and I also understand why you as an individual can justify this military action to yourself but as a general principle I'm not sure waging war illegally is great for international order. | |

It’s as if the lessons from history don’t exist. I remember people dancing in the streets of Baghdad when Saddam was deposed with no plan for what came next. And here we are again. Maybe this time it won’t tigger civil war and lead to the formation of extremist groups who destabilised much of the Western World. Here’s hoping! |  |
