    I would be worried if I lived in Ipswich.

    Why? Would it be improved with a Nuke? :emoticon-0104-surpr<laugh>

    In all seriousness, this is ramping up big style. Good job we have Rishi to make the call <diva><diva>:emoticon-0110-tongu:emoticon-0110-tongu

    Millions of species on this planet - only 1 that is determined to wipe itself out.

    Just following this on the news, ball is back in Israel court now so let’s see what they do. My money is on making it worse as they have well and truly dug a hole for themselves.

    The direct warning for UK and US to stay out of it is interesting.

    One news comment was that Iran have pitched this so that Israel can shoot down , no damage/ loss of life - point made , that’s it. If Israel then still retaliate with force , then it’s Israel who set off more escalation

    So pleased I'm leaving the Middle East next month. This region has become a tinderbox. Not sure if the whole thing escalates the UAE will get dragged into it, but it wouldn't surprise me.

    The drones were a response to the Iranian embassy in Syria being struck.

    I've seen the recent army recruitment videos the British Army have been putting out, desperate to attract anyone they can get whatsoever, why not send some of their new recruits? Send them right into the danger zones.

    Seems the RAF blasted out a load of them drones last night. Definitely escalation unfortunately. Israel won't let it slide and will use their military superiority, alongside the US and UK assistance.

    Young girl injured by shrapnel. That'll be enough justification for Israel in their eyes if they choose to.

    Israel launched a retaliation strike against Iran this morning.


    Interesting, they've decided to do it on Iran's Supreme Leader's birthday.

    Israel are wanting a war, which is quite bizarre, but...they'll only want war if The US & allies are there to protect, defend and help them in their war.

    Humility isn't a word in the Israeli dictionary ...

    ... in fact they seem to be missing quite a few.
