    The IOF has spent years peddling this lie that Hamas uses hospitals as bases while providing no concrete evidence and this whole time it was the occupiers themselves who have used them for such purpose.

    Ayatollah Khamenei may have been killed by IDF.

    Rumors of Iran's air defense capabilities being disabled appear to be untrue

    It's pretty clear there's a price tag attached and once we reach a threshold, conservatives lose patience. Everyone saw the hellscape that was Afghanistan running up the deficit. Aid to Israel is normally around $3 billion a year and rose to 12 billion after the Hamas attack.

    Whereas Ukraine got what... hundreds of billions without any real obligation to pay the US back? Israel has provided a ton of intel, technology and logistical support to the US over the years that keeps them on top of the situation in the M.E. Ukraine just uses the ol... "last frontier of democracy" schtick.

    US gets a lot out of the relationship with Israel. Even now, I would absolutely provide aerial, munitions and drone support to clear out the Khomeini from Iran. No boots on the ground or trying to "install" democracy in Iran, let the citizens handle that. Diminishing the weapons and nuclear supply of an unstable, theocratic death to democracy government is something we need for our quality of life to continue. Nothing about radical Islam is pro life. Khomeini is the Hitler liberals keep talking about and the citizens of Iran know this.

    If Khomeini falls, Iran is going to be run by the IRGC. And the fatwa against using nuclear weapons goes with him. Change is rarely for the better in Iran.

    It's a flawed argument. Iran has a large but incredibly poorly trained and poorly equipped army. They know this. All their strength lie in their ballistic missiles, which they are firing into Israeli residential areas.



    They are never going to be able to defend themselves in the surgical and precise way Israel does. They will fire at will and not achieve anything other than civilian deaths. Which is exactly why they or any Islamic extremist state can't have nuclear capability. A big worry is once Iran has nuclear, other ME countries will have to get nuclear to out of fear. Saudi, Qatar, UAE and then you'll have rogue terrorist groups eyeing those sites etc. A slippery slope you want to front run

    Fair

    So Iran can't say that Israel is using civilians as human shields, just as Israel is saying?

    That fooled no one , and every governing body was raising alarms about levels increasing way past energy levels

    Islam constantly sells false narratives to the world while actions contradict, it is embedded into their very scriptures

    He most definitely was building nuclear

    The nuclear fatwa that wasn’t—how Iran sold the world a false narrative - Atlantic Council

    For meaningful change in Iran, Khamenei has got to go

    Khamenei is going to die soon with or without the IDF. But either his son replaces him without the IDF butting in or the IRGC stages a coup if the IDF kills him.

    Not supporting Iran, just don't want Americans dying for Israel. If it comes to boots on the ground (which I doubt), it should be voluntarily who sends their son and daughters, if Israel is so important to you, send your son or go yourself. Its not important to me, its just another country, just like I could careless about Zimbabwe.

    I don’t want to see Haifa burning. I don’t want to see Tehran burning. I don’t want to see anywhere burning.

    Israel and Iran both lie through their teeth. Every country I can think of does.

    We’ve seen 20 months of deliberately targeting civilians and civilians infrastructure in Gaza and now he’s trying to take the “israel only goes after military targets” lmao what an unserious individual ATW is.
