So when are we going to actually start calling it WW3?

The Scramble for Africa and its consequences will never end before imperialism is dead.

Iran should have kept the nukes...

Let's hope they did.

Israel gets to play the pretend game, after all. Why shouldn't Iran?

Did they have confirmed nukes at any point? I thought they agreed to stop their nuclear program at energy production only.

No. They never had nuclear weapons. They’d have to do tests which you can detect with seismographs and which can be confirmed with testing of air for particles on the borders of the country.

Additionally Isn’treal would have acted differently. Either suing for peace or forcing the US to join it in an attack.

Additionally one of the top Islamic authorities there opined nuclear weapons were un-Islamic.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


The warning comes as Iran waits on high alert to see how Joe Biden responds to the death of three US servicemen deemed by Washington to have been killed by a Tehran-backed militia based in Syria.

He said the White House knew well that “a political solution” was required to end the carnage in the besieged Gaza Strip and the current crisis in the Middle East.

With a US attack on Iranian positions inside Syria seen as the most likely option, Iran’s deputy interior minister, Seyyed Majid Mirahmadi, in a meeting with his Syrian counterparts discussed the crisis and insisted the so-called “axis of resistance” was on the verge of victory.

But Iran itself faces its own challenges: unrest has broken out across Kurdistan after the execution on Monday of four Kurds accused by the regime of co-operating with Mossad, the Israeli intelligence agencies.

Although support for Palestinians is widespread through Iranian society, the regime is worried that the state of the economy and general political disaffection could drive down turnout at parliamentary elections in March, undercutting its claim to legitimacy.

In an attempt to boost participation in the vote, the number of ballot boxes has doubled, and candidates are being given additional time on TV and radio to try to generate an atmosphere of excitement.
