| joe7... | Israel is clearly out of control. It has bombed multiple countries and its current genocide in Gaza and decades long oppression of the Palestinians is the root of all conflict in the region. |
| righ... | Israel continues to create their own issues. The United States should not fund their genocide, greed, and general ethnic hatred. If they want to fight Iran, that's their choice. A stupid one that they continue to needlessly provoke, but their choice. Donald Trump needs to stick to his word. Isn't he an "Anti-War President?" He claimed to be "America First." Prove it. Divest from Israel. |
| chgr... | Iran has been the principal international terrorism actor for at least ten years. No one has been willing to enforce the non-proliferation treaty and Iran is now at the cusp of having the bomb, and they have substantial delivery capability, ie., missiles. It should have been stopped before now. |
| jmbe... | What would Jesus say? |
| frie... | FOR CERTAIN!!!!! |
| miss... | The Iranians have stated explicitly that their goal is to destroy Israel and have worked diligently toward that goal. Also, when they say Death to America, believe them. Israel is totally justified and Iran should have their nuclear capability reduced to zero. They are not a responsible country and should not have any capacity for a nuclear strike. |
| tedk... | Iran has proclaimed the destruction of Israel over ad over. A nuclear bomb would make it possible. Iran is an existential threat to Israel |
| lisa... | It is ridiculous to think that Iran is not going to develop its nuclear capabilities and then use them. Any nuclear weapon development should be wiped out immediately. The talks are ridiculous, like a parent who wants to talk to a toddler who is holding a gun. Just take the gun away. |
| nann... | The world should thank Israel! The Iranians are hoping to destroy Western Civilization! |
| jimw... | Should have done it a long time ago. |
| laur... | Israel is single-handedly saving the entire world right now, doing all of America’s dirty work. We should be fully supportive. |
| jona... | Can you imagine if Israel had not eliminated Iraq’s nuclear capability? Can you imagine if Israel had not eliminated Syria’s nuclear capability? QED! |
| lebe... | No, talks were underway and Isreal has endangered itself and may draw the US into the conflict. |
| cica... | Between the crazy Trump, the corrupt, crazy and violent Netanyahu, and the clearly ideologically crazed Iranians, it’s hard to know who to believe. I’m glad Hamas is being wiped out. I’m incredibly sad that so many seemingly innocent people are getting destroyed in the process. It seems like we’re heading back into the dark ages |
| ttom... | We (US and Europe) should be grateful that once again Israel has done the dangerous work of striking Iran. And note that Iran would be less dangerous today if multiple U.S. presidents (including the disastrous release of frozen assets to Iran by that idiot Obama) had actually kept harsh sanctions in place and not given away the means for the murderous Iranian regime to keep its nuclear program going. |
| ajm1... | So proud of Israeli leadership and IDF !!!! Defeat evildoers!!! |
| 2nur... | Why does media, and some people say, Putin .. did this or that, or Trump did….but when it comes to Israel it’s never Netanyahu it Israel? |
| taly... | Israel just did the whole western world a favor.. even that Iranian civilians are celebrating . When it’s Iran’s stated goal to wipe Israel off the face of the earth, allowing them to have a nuclear bomb is not an option. |
| lora... | Israel should need to live under threat of a nuclear strike from Iran. It is unfortunate that Iran will join the rest of the middle east and live in peace instead of funding terrorist groups. |
| jche... | Iran is an axis of terror that needs to be wiped off the map |
| leav... | Can’t wait for others to do the hard work and make the tough decisions. Got to take your future into your own hands. |
| ronl... | I do not believe in pre-emptive military strikes against another country who has not directly attacked you. This gives license to every country to attack another. It should be noted Israel already has nuclear weapons. Remember that Pakistan another Muslim country has nuclear weapons. What would stop them from shipping them to Iran. This is so dangerous. |
| noah... | Insanity. The equivalent of killing your neighbors unprovoked because they're Persian. |
| alis... | The United States needs to separate ourselves from Israel on every level. They are making terrible decisions. |
| dave... | No, if anything it’s going to perpetuate the issues and personify the hatred! |
| cbph... | America needs to stop funding Israel, until they stop their warmongering attacks on Palestine and now Iran. |
| bbuc... | War and killing is never the answer |
| dcon... | Almost impossible to understand how a rational person could believe otherwise. |
| mich... | Iran was playing games pretending to want peace by meeting with Trumps cabnet to make a nuclear agreement! While all along testing missles for nuclear! The people are good but the government needs to be changed! Dangerous to the world not just Isreal !!!!! |
| paxt... | Trouble to me us who is reporting and who to believe. Iran has serious stockpiles of enriched uranium and capable of multiple atomic bombs. They increased those stockpiles while negotiating with the US the past weeks. That’s a cunning deception and serious threat Israel wasn’t going to live with any longer. Also multiple Arab states participated in shooting down Iranian drones last night. Likely to protect themselves but they aren’t condemning Israel. And they are in the midst of it. We are comfortable here in the US for now anyway |
| mass... | Irans leadership would never allow piece in this world. Israel did what it had too do and the world should be thankful |
| lind... | It was bound to happen. There needed tp be abig step taken. WHO neutralized the drones?? |
| snbe... | Iran stated its intention to eliminate the state of Israel and ignored the international nuclear commission. Israel had no choice or it would have been attacked by nuclear missiles within weeks |
| raym... | Iran is a bad actor. They have engaged in diplomatic talks time and again agreeing to concessions and open to inspection. They have flagrantly reneged on everything and continue with a forward march to become a nuclear power. Their publicly states goal is to wipe Israel off the earth and saber rattle ‘death to America’. They are a threat to world stability and need to be confronted and stopped. Israel is the only country with the will to act, and they did. Good for them and all peace-loving countries should be grateful for their courage and rally in their support. |
| huma... | The Israeli strikes were a flagrant disrespect of international law and undermined US talks being planned. This might have been an attempt to sabotage it. Israel is behaving in callous racist violent selfish disregard of global wellbeing and show they do not believe in human equality or justice. |
| cont... | the only qustion Ihave is why did they wait so long? |
| pjba... | If the world doesn't want Iran to be making multiple nuclear bomb and missiles it MUST applaud Israel's action. I do! |
| bern... | Iran cannot be allowed to have nuclear weapons period. |
| fair... | I am tired of Israel bombing whomever they decide to terrorize. I hope Iran retaliates such that Israel does not detect the attack. I am disgusted that the United States supports a murdering govt. Don't we murder enough on our own? |
| geng... | Israel is a rogue state at this point, taking over territory and committing genocide. Their leaders seek to escalate the conflict in an attempt to keep the country in constant crisis, and thus escape accountability for their own wrongdoing. |
| dave... | Absolutely. |
| sosh... | So many warmongering bootlicking racists in America |
| nanc... | Wait for negotiations |
| maed... | Obama & Biden administrations treated Iran as if they were a reasonable & responsible government. How foolish was that? This Iran regime needs to be removed, ASAP! |
| eliz... | Thank God that the Israelis fixed the problem Obama started with his foolhardy deals with Iran |
| mich... | Iran are a bunch of Dbags that should be neutralized. |
| aen1... | After the fall of the Shah ,Iran became one of the big enemy of Israel. There was no alternative ,having a nuclear Iran was too dangerous. |
| sang... | Wow, so many people are war mongering in this group! I see 52% of people are saying it is necessary. People, this is as simple as this = Natanyahu wants to stay relevant and in power, Donald want Trump Riviera, they don't care who dies. This is how World War starts. Stop war mongering! |
| diet... | Iran has not hidden their intent to destroy Israel. Destroying their nuclear facilities was/is needed to keep peace in the Middle East. |
| alic... | It seems like a positive to take out the nuclear program, but what will happen if other Middle East countries step in? Where will increased conflict put US Soldiers? |
| gnir... | Yes They are tyrannical |
| dhun... | But I do t like what is happening g |
| kims... | Israel's government continues to perpetuate genocide |
| geor... | Someone has to stop Iran,you can’t negotiate with these folks.they only understand power |
| coch... | Given that the IAEA found no credible nuclear program, which even US officials agreed with, it would be hard to see Israel's actions as nothing other pre-emptive. Given Netanyahu's tendencies, I would argue this is a ploy to harm talks between the US and Iran. |
| jwir... | Level Iran, it is overdue. |
| fcse... | Netanyahu in political trouble. Like Trump, deflected attention by bombing Iran. Also putting the U.S. in a difficult position: trying to make an agreement with Iran while defending Israel. The U.S. should censor Israel for this action. |
| jrv1... | Not pretty but matter of survival. Certainly good news for US |
| kath... | Israel is trained, prepared and capable of defending itself. It was reported that Iran is building nuclear weapons which is in violation of their agreement. A country like Iran can't be trusted with building nuclear weapons. Honestly, they likely already have built them. |
| incl... | Iran had no nuclear weapons....Israel does. The Iranian made no threats to Israel. Striking first is not self- defence. Netanyahu will pay a heavy price for his crimes. |
| nosk... | Thank God we have Israel to do our dirty work - they have covered our backs |
| zaac... | They scream that they are threat everyday. Why shouldn’t we believe them? Regardless, this was necessary to show rogue government FAFO is. |
| aeca... | Israel is neither Americas friend or ally. It is playing us for fools. |
| rbar... | When a country clearly states it's policy is to destroy Israel, funds proxy groups for decades while it develops nuclear capability you have no reasonable choice but to stop them from finalizing development of a nuclear arsenal. |
| sara... | I feel they were going forward with attack on USA . Netheyahue should not be underestimated at all he knew what was coming this time ! This underworld country had the guts to try something ahead ! All these oppressed people in these countries should b put on shut down and high alerts ! |
| bbus... | A Regime that declares 'death to Israel' and acts on their radical beliefs needs to be neutralized. |
| judi... | Netanyahu needs to keep a war going to stay in power so as not to be prosecuted for corruption. He is getting blow back for his mass killings and starvation in Gaza, so now focusing on Iran. He is endangering U.S. troops and the talks between Iran and the U.S. He needs to be left out in the cold--as the pariah that he is. |
