No surprise they’d attack, after events, but extremely serious going’s on in the Middle East tonight with their drone attack on Israel?
Will get the USA get involved and attack Iran? Scary times/decisions to be made?
I imagine the drones will be shot down by Jordan causing even more instability.
Jordan the country not Katie Price

I think Iran sending slow drones and easy to shoot down missiles is just the expected response. I've been watching the flight diversions. It was too late for the BA flight to Hyderabad to change its flight plan over Iraq. planefinder.net/flight/BA277

It’s all a bit telegraphed as the drones take hours to get there. Be very surprised if any get through the combined US and Israeli defences.
In my view Iran and its allies have already been humiliated in this conflict, they’ve done nothing meaningful to assist Gaza.
More widely, the whole episode reflects very poorly on the international community’s ability to unite and take action. If they are unable to stop a virtual genocide unfolding over several months in one small state, what chance is there when meaningful collective action is needed in the face of a larger scale, more existential crisis.
I don’t think there’s ever been a more depressing crop of world leaders, you’d be hard pressed to name a single good one. All the major powers in the world are led by crooks or self-interested twats.

It`s taking all my self-restraint to not try and find something in the news, that is being ignored by this ! I`m learning !
Iran has said it will not rest, until Israel is wiped off the map, didn`t they ? So they launch an attack, and then I read they said this..
"The matter can be deemed concluded"
So, rather than carry on, and try to achieve your end goal, you decide to stop, and point a finger, and say "that`ll learn `em" ??
Why stop now ? Did someone call them up and tell them to pack it in, and that`s enough ?
And I also read that Russia & China are "ready to stand by the side of their BRICS allies"
Always comes down to money doesn`t it ? But that`s a worrying statement to read.
The last paragraph in heilkmoons post, is right, the world is not just run by idiots, it`s run by corrupt, and untrustworthy idiots.

Iran has said for decades that it wants Israel wiped off the map but has done nothing towards accomplishing that aim. The US co-ordinated its allies last night into condemning Iran's actions in the strongest possible terms while at the same time telephoning Netanyahu and urging him to just leave it and not respond. Even the RAF helped shoot down some of the slow-moving missiles over Jordan. Jordan is of course a strong ally of Britain with the respective airforces conducting joint exercises and the British army doing its desert training there.
It has to be remembered the US is the most hawkish country against Iran. Many EU countries especially France feel much less antagonistic towards it. Behind the scenes Iran probably got diplomatic hints to ease off on Hezbollah's attacks on Northern Israel in return for more French feet-dragging on US anti-Iranian initiatives.
