    Well finally, i live just in time for my already unstable region to have a full blown war. Just what we needed.

    Israel has nukes and iran can make them in weeks, nothing could go wrong! /s

    I’m unironically very worried right now, i live between them and am horrified of a full regional war, or worse; nuclear war.

        Thank you. I don’t know the exact implications currently, but i don’t need research to know this is really, really bad for the region.

        Iran’s nuclear program is one of the most scrutinized nuclear programs in the world. While the Islamic Republic of Iran claims its program is for peaceful purposes, it has developed nuclear technologies that provide it the capability to develop a nuclear weapon within weeks if it decides to do so

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_program_of_Iran

        They still have the ability to make them in a matter of just weeks. I got it wrong in my comment so i’ll correct it, but it’s still concerning.

          And since they have had significantly less oversight on that program for the last seven years, thanks to - checks notes- DONALD FUCKING TRUMP, I would be absolutely gobsmacked if the weeks it would take weapons development from the “within weeks” estimate, had not already transpired fucking years ago.

    I will be draft dodging. I’m not going to fight in the next war on peace.

    I’ll be here at home. Fucking military wives.

    Driving the news: Sirens sounded across Israel on Thursday night. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz declared a special state of emergency across the entire country.

    “Following the State of Israel’s preemptive strike against Iran, a missile and drone attack against the state of Israel and its civilian population is expected in the immediate future,” Katz said.

    Who would have guessed Israel would surprise attack another country and then immediately play the victim…

    I don’t know what will happen but if the US had fullthroatedly supported this I think we might have locked in WW3 like fuckkk “dodged a bullet” is the wrong phrase, more like adjacent timeline vertigo?

    edit can we get independent verification of this? As of yet I can’t find any other news websites saying this.

    edit 2 thank you for links!

      Idk, the US full throated supporting Israel is fighting against the innate urge for trump to rat fuck any ally possible…

      Tbh it seems like a 50/50, based on the article the administration seems to be trying to distance themselves from the event. Pulling personnel out of Iraq and warning allies of the attack may be good news. Hopefully we may have just witnessed Bibi overstepping the line for the last time?

    Yes please Israel, start some more wars, keep extending yourself, especially against better equipped adversaries
