Bloody hell another war? Can't we just have a quiet coffee and catch up on the news without this nonsense?
Great, more taxpayer money going to bombs while our roads are rubbish. Typical.
right mate. Potholes everywhere and they're bombing power plants. Priorities eh.
Is anyone else curious about the phrasing 'perimeter of an Iranian nuclear power plant'? That's a very specific spot. Not inside, but the perimeter. Technicality much?
agree. But 'perimeter' is doing a lot of work there. Military speak for 'we're being careful but not that careful'.
I'm no expert, but hitting near a nuclear plant seems like a bad idea. Like, really bad. Enlighten me how that's 'controlled escalation'?

escalation is an oxymoron, like military intelligence. Just say 'we're escalating and hoping for the best'.
ffs here we go again. US and Iran can't just get along for five minutes. Meanwhile we're here worried about the price of milk.
Anyone else think this is just a distraction from domestic issues? Classic move.
Exactly! Everyone's distracted by the shiny bombs while the real mess at home gets ignored.
Yeah nah get stuffed. Both sides are as bad as each other.
lol cope more mate. We just want our roads fixed.
Wait, Khamenei is dead? I thought that was already announced? This timeline is confusing.
it's a new development. The burial is today. Hence the 'fresh' strikes. Keep up!
Peace in our time they said. What a joke.
Ha! True. But last time we had peace we got a global pandemic. Maybe war is the new normal.
I'm gonna need a bigger mug of tea to get through this mess.
