Why don't you talk about the water desalinization site in Iran that was bombed first?????
@
Never forget y’all said Iran had won the war 🤣
@
We call this "Progressive Degradation". Day by day their infrastructure will be crippled and their people thrown into despair.
Gaza conditions or come to the table like good goaties!
@
Why is it that iran isn't retaliating against Isreal? Is like iran is afraid of Isreals brutal response 😅😅
@
Iran is bullying it's neighbours and aljazeera is quiet on that.

Iran is so much afraid to directly fire ballistic missiles into America.

😂😅😂😢😢😂

US should bring great fury on IRGC. The only language Islam understands is brutal force. The driving doctrine of the Islamic Republic is based on fanatic Islamic ideological vision, reason Iran operates a revolutionary theocracy. It took them 40 years to prepare for this, so break their will and bend them to comply and conform to realities. They only negotiate at the point of weakness. Fanatic Islamic teaching is not a friend to the west, make no mistake about it. Do not pet your enemy who is preparing to kill you and your family.

The US soldiers did not die on US soil defending their Nation, But the Iranian soldiers are.
@
Finance website headlines about to be “stocks surge on hopes of peace deal”
@
Everything must be destroyed in Iran and later Iran will be rebuilt just like Germany and South Korea was rebuilt as long as IRGC is defeated
@
Not being from the region I don't understand why they let themselves be bombed.

Intercept with the targets
@
Why is US attacking on civilian infrastructure? Are these not terrorist attack? Are these not violation of international law? Looks like UN has been blind now!
@
Punishment for death of American troop?, seems Iranian worth nothing to such powerful country

Al Jazeera, who is owned by Qatar is complicit with Trump.

Iran didn't start the war. US and Israell did.
@
Why we let warmongers destroy our planet?
@
SoW so you Reap!!! These gulf nations are no one to blame but themselves!!!
@
Let's say Russia put military bases in Canada & Mexico. Then they bombed the U.S., killing leaders & school children and deliberately destroying infrastructure & started launching missile attacks FROM THOSE BASES. Do you actually think the U.S. WOULDN'T return fire on the Russian bases in those countries? Don't be disingenuus; I am SOOO sick of the hypocrisy.
@
You say intercept, video's show otherwise
@
You started a war, kill others in their country and when you are hit you condemn them what's in the brain of US leaders?

This escalation is getting dangerous. If we want to avoid a full-scale regional war, shouldn't there be an immediate push for a neutral third-party mediator to step in before more lives are lost? I wonder if any of the neighboring Gulf states are actually pushing for a ceasefire behind the scenes right now.

This is getting heavy. Nine nights straight is a brutal streak, and hearing about that loss in Iraq really puts things in perspective. It feels like we're stuck in a loop here. Do you think these strikes are actually shifting the leverage, or just escalating the cycle?
