Fingers crossed there's an uprising in Iran too. Help get rid of its oppressive state.

Be careful what you wish for. Let us not forget that the revolution in '79 was brought about because of Western meddling and how unpopular the Shah Dynasty was on the back of the White Revolution that yes led to rapid westernisation but totally fucked over a lot of the country - certainly the poorer areas - and led to the rise of anti-western feeling and the shutting down of any dissenting voices which gave movements such as the Tudeh party such a strong platform to stand against the Shah and the country's dependancy on the US which weren't helping the majority of the country - after the revoultion there was a national referendum and low and behold Khomeini was swept into power (populism at play) declared a islamic state and promptly fucked off all the Nationalist and left-wing interlectual supporters he had and it started on the path to the country we see today.

It was a popular uprising based on puppet leaders being put in place by the west and the majority of people feeling they were left behind. Sounds familiar.

One suitably large ballistic missile down an entrance would suffice.

Bury all that equipment etc

There's no way that the powers that be don't know where the entrances to these tunnels are, or indeed have a full map of them. They'll know pretty much all the detail I'd have thought  - so I assume they're all interwoven through and under civilian areas, which is why they can't just drop a shit load of nasty stuff on them

Should be proud of those tunnels, we helped fund them. 

On Iran and its regime, ignoring the fact that they are behind all the Islamic Terrorist groups on the planet and that they are also supplying drones and missiles to Russia to use in Ukraine, ignoring all that, ask the women of Iran what kind of regime they’d rather live under.

There were a couple of Iranian lads in our year at Uni (1976 onwards)... we all got on well, I introduced Ali to English footie and Punk Rock 🙂

I doubt there would be too many tears shed if the regime in Iran was toppled, I guess, as ever, out in the middle east, it depends who comes in to fill the vacancy.

Iran and Saudi, are generally not, in my opinion, the best of regimes......although with regards to Saudi, we don't seem to be remotely bothered about what they do or don't do with regards to "human rights" as we have trade in excess of £17B per year with them, and that's growing, and of course we seem to be happy enough to go with their sports washing

My dentist is an Iranian woman. Their loss is certainly our gain.

I wonder how feasible it would be for Israel to knock out Iran's nuclear weapons programme?

One of our local kebab shop owners is Iranian, again, their loss and our gain 🙂🥙

I copped off with an Iraqi lass at a student party and my flatmate ended up marrying her with me as best man... I sometimes wonder what happened to them

I think alot of that is underground, probably not very easy I'd imagine.

My money would be on Israel to target Iran's oil field’s . Hit them in the pocket so to speak.

Surely by now we have all seen the efficiency and professionalism of Mossad?

You have nailed it right there. The IDF will have a virtual road map of the entire shebang I would have thought.

How can you tell he's Iranian?

Have you asked him?

Have you reported him to the police?

Stock markets round the world dropped yesterday due to increasing oil prices and worries about war.

FTSE was up as we have loads of fuel companies and weapons manufacturers based in this country.

Why end a war tomorrow, when you can drag it out for years at the expense of every taxpayer in the Western World and line a few pockets in the process?

Ever increasingly the real World Leaders... They certainly know where to 'invest' their public purse
