US & Israel attack Iran

[domalino]

If anything goes "pear-shaped in Iran", it'll be because of cowards like you not wanting to press the advantage that they now have.

Quite aside from your personal spat that’s an insane thing to say. We’ve not heard or seen anything to suggest Irans military has been incapacitated. We’re all assuming the US will just overpower them but we don’t know how costly that will be or how long it will take or the collateral damage that will be done.

Killing Khameni hasn’t ended the regime or the war, there’s a lot of things that can still go very wrong for Trump, and for the Iranian people.

These cells are sat at home with a pile of homemade bombs waiting for a good reason to blow up a train/concert/bus/airport? They just need a good excuse?

They don't need any excuse.
Allah's will.

It’s not a personal spat. He’s trapped himself. All he had to do was suggest that the long-term negative consequences might outweigh the short-term positive of a murderous leader being “removed” and he wouldn’t look or sound so ridiculous. But instead of taking a beat for a moment and thinking through the blizzard of unknowns and possible outcomes, he’s quintupled down. Posters like this are a dime a dozen.

Anyone have any thoughts on the impact on oil/petrol prices?

We don't do too may miles, but thinking about filling the car up. it wouldn't surprise me if the price of fuel rockets in the next couple of days.

Just curious about common perception....

Likely to spike in the short term, a lot will depend on whether the US can guarantee safety of tankers in the straits of Hormuz. OPEC will likely up production to keep the price down if the US can keep the straits open.

"A jump in wholesale oil prices is expected to feed through to prices at the pump. The AA said the average UK price of petrol was 132.9p a litre and diesel 142.4p, but disruption in the Middle East could combine with the Treasury’s upcoming reversal of a 5p-a-litre fuel duty cut to push up prices.
The AA spokesperson Luke Bosdet said: “Pump prices have been rising over the past week and the conflict escalation in the Middle East threatens even higher fuel costs for UK drivers.”

Something to lower the temperature maybe….

No matter what side of the political divide you sit on, we can all agree it’s been good fun laughing at the Instagram influencers (prostitutes) and drop shippers hiding out in underground carparks in Dubai.

3 Americans dead apparently, let's see how this plays out.

If anyone wants to know the real reason the US attacked Iran, look at the Polymarket.
This is a betting platform linked to Trump. It's paid out millions regarding 5 (at least) suspicious bets that bet on when the attack would begin.

Saving a nation from a murderous regime, my arse, getting your friends and family richer, no doubt about it.

Yep. Don jr on the board. All the suspicious bets were placed on the war to start before the end of the 28th Feb. Huge bets.
