US President Joe Biden hosted a meeting of G7 leaders on Sunday, and a UN head has said that this attack has put the region 'on the brink of war. Susanna and Ed discuss the ongoing conflict and the possibility of escalation with Andrew Pierce and Kevin Maguire.

Because they are not one of our allies, Isreal would support Nato if a third war occurred so we defend those who would defend us. I doubt Palestine would support us to fight a nation who threatens us on an international scale, especially if that threat was an Islamic nation. It's simple, those who would come to our aid must be protected. Similar to Ukraine, they would fight with us, thus one of our allies.

[@Senny_sen]

The truth is they got involved because Iran demobilised 50 Israeli army bases, yes Iran only hit Army bases unlike Israel bombing hospitals, women and children. Leaked audio from Israeli war cabinets exposes the true damage of Iran's missile direct hits. So the Western government needs to stop parroting israel's lies.

[@Buckshot99]

Really? Good old victim Iran? The Iranians have been using Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen as proxies to attack Israel for years. Heck Iranian drones are killing Ukrainians. Iran leadership has stayed multiple times over the years that they want Israel wiped off the map. If Iranian military personnel are in those countries for the purpose of attacking Israel, of course they are fair game.

I do not hold any personal biases towards the Islamic Republic. However, I respectfully disagree with your journalist claiming their embassy was not a normal embassy☺the fact is, no embassy around the world can be considered "ordinary." This is particularly true for embassies like those of the British, American, Russian, or Israeli governments, where activities such as assassinations or attempts to destabilize certain governments in order to overthrow the regime are sometimes planned. Therefore, it is not accurate to consider the Islamic Republic as an exception.

[@bedisaouadi848]

they are desperate , iran is not arab ? doesn't matter muslims dont care about race if they are muslims , then they are their brothers in islam , sunni and shia ? the core of the religion is the same , the defference between sunni and shia is about who have the right to succeed the prophet so trying to divide them will not work because there is no ''rael'' split in islam and the media and western powers are trying so hard to portray muslims as devided and multiple factions , there are diffrences between them , yes but the core of the religion is the same to all of them ,their worst nightmare is that their ''divide and conquer'' tactics against muslims are no longer working , they are trying desperately to prevent arab countries from getting along , they want the arab states divided and weak and will go to encourage in fighting between them , i guess they will try to attack iran through sabotage and '' forced opposition groups'' to weaken it . i wonder who is the real wolf in sheep clothing here ?

This means that Israel can attack an Iranian consulate and Iran only has to watch what would happen if an EU consulate or an American consulate were destroyed. What would you do? No, I think that's not a mistake. 300 drones flew over Israel and did not attack any civilian objects. And all of those drones would have crashed over civilian homes. Like Israel does in Gaza. 40,000 people are gone. Now if someone attacks the Iranians, for example either the US or the UK, from Iraqi or Syrian military bases, then they will be destroyed and Israel has no chance here either, they have broken through the Israeli defenses and I think that was the plan , they themselves said that these are not the latest weapons or drones, they have thousands of them
