Iran seems to be backing down as much as the official rhetoric goes.


Trump has smashed this.
Um - he's set a precedent that you can fire missiles at a US military base and you don't get hit back. That will have long-term consequences.

There also is very little appetite for war. A different Iranian leader and the whole scenario could have been very different.

Wouldn't surprise me if there will be a further retaliation but in a more covert manner.

Its a cliche, but I'm a bit unhinged..heres a picture of the most powerful military on the planet and if you fire back with any consequence I'll respond disproportionately.


Jesus..thats a stupidly long word.

The problem is that Trump isn't winning, he's losing.

The Iranian regime gets all it's legitimacy and support from having an anti-American rhetoric which is backed up with historical evidence, so it's quite easy for the Iranians to say it's either a hard line Islamic Dictatorship, or it's a democratic puppet state to America.

When you start killing Iranians and ramping up the threats then you're just hardening Iranian resolve against America.

The best thing America could have done in the very first place is just backed out and allowed Iran to destroy itself and covertly build something that's more pro-West from the ashes, covertly.

I also think people massively underestimate Iran and their ability to wage war far away from their borders by using terrorism; you could nuke Tehran, but the damage that would have compared to having a few suicide bombers going off across major western cities is negligible. They could end democracy, liberalism and multiculturalism, but I suppose that's what you want @Job :)

Funnily enough Iran was having mass protests against the regime before this kicked off.

Maybe Trump is shoring up Iran.

Can't have too much peace fouling up the military industrial complex.

If Iran isn't the big bad who is America going to sell weapons to?

I reckon they could fire up the south china sea and start selling ships to the far east island nations.

Iran went very liberal in the 70s, straight to gays..hardcore porn, tits on the beach...
The conservative islamic backlash was total, but the youth wants to be westernised, we can just wait for the ME to join the free, secular world.

I agree.

But everytime a democratic bomb is dropped in the middle east, you go one step further from becoming 'westernised' or the correct term would be 'liberal'.

Yes we are very liberal in the UK...but strangely the 'liberal' party is less popular than Tommy Robinson.

That's because we went through Liberalism in the early 20th century, and the work of 'Liberalism' is now done, the things that you dislike about the UK and other western countries isn't Liberalism, it's something else, but it's good to have buzz words.

Flying into Iran after the Drone attack on salmonella would be below setting my dick on fire.

I remember the footage during the Iraq/Iran war, commercial flights had anti missile flares firing out as they came into land, and inside everyone was in the aisle praying to Allah.

I'd still take my chances.

A life without a dick ain't worth living!

Whining about not getting the Nobel Peace Prize days after carrying out what almost definitely amounts to an act of war and threatening to commit war crimes. What a guy.

It’s funny to see all the Stop The War tankies and Putinists backtracking on their ‘it was a US false flag’ theories now that Iran has owned up to shooting down the jet.

The Nobel peace prize has gone so far down the rabbit hole that not getting one is a badge of honour.
