    Well done Murphy on ITV news for giving the Islamic Republic regime a propaganda news interview via peak-time news in the UK.
    Idiots :negative:

    Makes a change from giving the genocidal maniacs from the Israeli government free propaganda.

    So do we agree Israel have broken the ceasefire in less than 24 hours , when is a ceasefire a ceasefire when you keep bombing an area … When Israel are involved

    “The Government of Spain will not applaud those who set the world on fire just because they show up with a bucket,”

    I like this response from the Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez.

    Yet another Murphy pro-Islamic Republic propaganda report on ITV news tonight. Absolutely disgraceful.
    As bad as Bowen on the Beeb.
    Why not just go and work for Al Jazeera.

    Haven’t really followed this over the past few days but to me it seems Iran are holding all the decent cards. A trickle of boats through the Strait whilst Iran receive a toll for each boat that passes? Israel meanwhile are surely breaking the ceasefire by bombing Lebanon.

    There have been no winners in this war, amongst the main players at least, but Iran certainly knows it holds some cards now. An absolute embarrassment and failure for the USA and little better for Israel.

    Never forget that much of the right in this country wanted us straight in behind the USA and Israel without a second thought. They are the first ones complaining about the price rises and they’ll be the first ones complaining when the refugees come knocking. Two blindingly obvious consequences of something they supported and not a single one of them will own it.

    Richard 88, you are so right. Starmer is doing his best by hosting European leaders to see if they can come up with a solution. In war time, as this is, you would expect the opposition to support the government. But not the ultra right and far right. They just moan and groan and do everything they can to make things worse. They are pathetic.

    Obviously this is for security reasons and not restricting press coverage as this was done by the leader of the FREE world

    We go nowhere. US have won. The Iranian military has been obliterated and the enemy defeated according to Trump. Back to square one as if the war has never happened. Israel to continue bombing innocent people.

    “The Iranian military has been obliterated”

    Until the next time they’re “two weeks away” from having a nuclear weapon, i.e. in approximately six months’ time.

    It seems to me that neither side were particularly interested in holding this chin-wag but thought they better go through the motions by putting on a ‘marathon’ ‘all night’ show for the world’s media to get excited about, before effing-off home the morning after to catch up on some sleep.

    So basically Iran are now being paid to let ships through … I know Trump is a chancer but even he can’t sprinkle glitter on this turd , he’s basically making Iran stronger

    ‘USA has won’. No so, no side has won so we are all still in the ‘wet and sticky’, The real winner is China; doesn’t waste money by starting illegal wars but works behind the scenes strategically. When it comes to the crunch the USA cannot win; China will never allow Iran to be obliterated.
