    No one's declared war, not Iran nor Hezbollah, yet they've attacked our people on our land for decades, and most recently our RAF. So we're finally, just responding, from the moral high ground.

    I have a neice living & working in Dubai. Just wondering if she'll leave at the first opportunity.

    Andy, the drones that struck Akrotiri airbase in Cyprus were launched by Hezbollah from Lebanon, no doubt ordered by Tehran. What should the UK do?

      Join you in ridding the world of a regime (& its proxies) that massacres its own people, that actively spreads terror and murder worldwide, that builds a vast arsenal to protect its nuclear ambitions, and smiles and lies at the UN while doing all this evil.

        Hard to know 'over here' what's really going on. Our regime has a track record of "lie first until proven wrong" and our news passes their messages on to us. What news to trust? BBC? Al Jazeera?

          Good question.

          I strongly advise people to seek out independent investigative journalists and academics in any country who are experts in their fields.

          Mainstream media in the U.S. (and in other countries) is now a result of corporate consolidation, is not objective or competent, practices censorship, and disseminates propaganda at the dictates of its owners.

            Regime change fatigue. We changed the regime Iran already. It was our proxy state and this wasn't difficult. Now we want to change the regime in Iran again? It wouldn't be easy this time. The chances it would be a debacle like Iraq are approaching 100%. Some analysts have said Netanyahu doesn't want regime change, that he wants chaos. I don't know.

              If this is what you want to support, have at it, but you can leave me out of it. 70%- 80% of Americans don't want this, and I'm one.

                Al jazeera propaganda, broadcast from Quatar which supports Iran and the spread of their 'clerical Islam'.
                Makes me laugh at the crap they preach, then annoys how certain he is in his lies.

                Trust BBC and France 24.
                Not infallible but they double check stories/ai so are rarely first with news, and will correct themselves when needed.

                  The Tehran Times is probably the least trustworthy, along with many internet photos and videos of dramatic bombings on middle Eastern countries and your airbase. Disinformation is rife.

                    Personal element? From WaPo

                    President Donald Trump for the first time acknowledged a personal dimension to his decision to attack Iran, citing the country’s efforts to assassinate him in 2024 as a factor in ordering the joint U.S.-Israeli operation that killed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

                    “I got him before he got me,” Trump said in an interview on Sunday night with ABC News. “I got him first.”

                    Trump had not previously addressed how the Iranian threats to his life colored his thinking on taking the United States to war in the Middle East. Those threats, on top of the assassination attempts in July and September 2024, dominated his and his advisers’ experience of the fall 2024 campaign, with repeated security scares and emergency measures such as changing planes and motorcade routes.

                    The Iranian desire to kill Trump dates back to the U.S. airstrike that killed General Qasem Soleimani in January 2020. Federal prosecutors have charged two cases of alleged Iranian murder-for-hire schemes. No evidence has connected Iran with the two assassination attempts against Trump in 2024.

                    Trump suggested he sees a connection, telling ABC, “They tried twice.”

                    The White House did not provide evidence to support a connection.
                    “There are a million reasons to eliminate terrorists like Ayatollah Khamenei," a senior administration said on the condition of anonymity. "His plots to assassinate President Trump are just one reason.”

                        Personal element? That actually makes the most sense as every choice seems to be about personal enrichment or personal retribution...
