Very close now to World War 3. Almost touching it unless better sense prevails.
And I don't think anyone can deny this anymore.
Iran is great partner to Russia and Russia may just end up helping them with serious weapons.
Current Affairs Israel attacks Iran.

unfortunately not very far. While trying to make no enemies, we don't make friends either.

Well, even from the first term he was haranguing about Iran deal.
Every USA president need his own war, otherwise they are lying.
I wouldn't say that.
It's a "yet-another" war.
Russia x Ukraine was the first one that happened in a while. It got the most publicity.
Israel x Hamas was the second one. It got less publicity. But was still a hot topic.
India x Pakistan, even lesser.
Israel x Iran may not even make it to the front page.
You can check it on TE itself. See how long those respective threads went.
The world has got accustomed to wars. The market fell by only a percent.
Either everyone is showing maturity or they are anxious about other stuff like job security, trade war, traffic etc.
Fatigue of war and information overload.
Gross human suffering is happening, common man as an individual can do nothing about the very suffering and given starkly clear information.

A safer middle east?
A better Iran if the mullahs can be toppled. Very different to what we grew up with.
Yep, everything will be different. Just like Iraq, Afghanistan, jasmine revolution effected countries like Libya, Syria, etc. etc. Nothing to say about how regime change happened much earlier in Iran too.
A civil war inflicted Iran is what everybody is looking forward to now in 2025... /s

Do you guys think Saudi and UAE will join the fight against Israel now to support their muslim brotherhood? If so then they will fund with enormous amount of money that will push this war for a couple of years more.

Those countries were different
What's wrong with Iraq? This was a success.
So they will have to reconcile with the ancien regime
No, the Shah's son will return and Iran will rebuild itself with western support. They have plenty of oil & gas to recover.
Did you see that small '/s' ? All skirmishes in those region were fomented with people fooled and given false hopes by others in power and with vested interests. And the tribal cultural history of that region tolerates this unfortunately.
This one too is not going to be different.
They will be forced to reconcile with their fate.
If one goes through old testament or Torah, Israel gets punished for their misdeeds and "competing against God" every now and then. Hope Israel check their signs well.
When many countries get involved in wars at same time ...it leads to world wars.
History has shown this .
Russia and China and North Korea may now enter to help Iran.
If that happens. Things will become much more serious.
And amidst the chaos... maybe the right time for China to take Taiwan.

You are assuming a boots on the ground scenario? Is that likely.
Persia is an ancient civilization unlike those artificial Arab countries. THAT is why it will be different.
India didn't descend into a civil war despite the huge death toll at independence because we're a civlisational power.
Israel's future is looking very bright right now.
Who would have thought that after Oct 7? But look at how they systematically dismantled Iran's proxies one after the other across the region and are directly dealing with the ring leader.
Everybody has asked this question? When will Israel confront Iran. Their current source of belligerents for the last 47 years. Just kept putting it off. The Americans would interfere or sabotage things especially the Democrats.
Who knew today would be the start. Trump deserves credit for that. Truly a historic day. Where you are alone and have to deal with your problems on your own. After Oct 7, Israel was on it's own. Having to defend itself against this so called 'world opinion'. They did just that. They ought to be proud.

First of all, Saudi hates Iran (Sunni vs Shia issue), and they didn't do anything when Gaza was raided.
Talking about going against Iran - without US support, they don't stand a chance against Iran and since US has distanced itself from the attack (at least in front of world media), UAE and Saudi would chill and have popcorn.
Overall, I don't think there will be any involvement.
Saudi is one of the world's biggest defense equipment customer of USA. USA now want to put down Iran in any means possible, without hurting themselves or their close allies, they themselves are far away to be hurt anyways.

Clandestinely.
Exactly what USA wants to destroy with a vengeance, 'others should not have what we don't'.
Israel standing it's own with a very strong USA hand.

MBS has already said, they don't want Iran to go nuclear. If they do then Saudi will be forced to go nuclear too.
This will only be between Iran and Israel with US help(under or over the table?let's see)
These are not real wars. These are just small battles.
Donald is good for deradicalization.
World seems to be moving in a good direction. It will be somewhat bloody but nothing good comes easy.

It might take india Vs China war and WW3 and I hope God has to intervene to stop this from happening because billions of lives will be at stake.
And there will be 2 sides as always.

@blr_p You're single-handedly carrying the weight of far-right shilling on this forum. Rest, take it easy for a bit.
