All this talk of regime change being good is mind :mindblown: All I’m seeing is endless cycle of bullshyt. We helped Afghanistan against the Soviets and what did that get us? We helped Iraq and what did that get us? Tried to do it again in Iraq and what did we get from that? Tried again in Afghanistan and what did we accomplish? I’m sure this time the region will stabilize, right?
this time dear leader trump is behind it and everything trump touches turns to gold.

It’s possible that Israel and the US go for the home run of regime change but Iran has been so thoroughly defeated in all fronts that I don’t see how it is necessary.
In what war is leaving your opponent in power a good idea?

Let alone who is the opposition in a hypothetical regime change. Even the new Syrian leader is ex-Isis. Islamist will always have power in the Middle East unless there’s a king/monarch like in Jordan.

CAIR, AIPAC react to US strikes on Iran​


The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a US Muslim rights group, has said the US attack on Iran is an “illegal and unjustified” act of war that comes under pressure from the “out-of-control” Israeli government and despite the longstanding conclusion of US intelligence that Iran was not building a nuclear weapon.
The American-Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), the best-known pro-Israel group in the US, praised the strikes ordered by Trump and said that the US “must now work with our allies to protect our troops and regional interests against Iranian attacks”.

So what are the chances Iran hits back at the US?

Trump seems confident that this is the end of US involvement.

Analysis

How will Iran respond to US’s attacks?​


Iran could potentially pursue three scenarios following the US attacks, according to Abbas Aslani, a senior research fellow at the Center for Middle East Strategic Studies in Tehran.
“One could be the limited reaction, depending on the size of the damage,” Aslani said.
“But let’s not forget that in addition to the attack on the nuclear facilities, this is the US’s direct entry into the war with Iran. Iran had earlier warned that they will respond to this action,” he said.
“The second scenario could be a full scale war, with Iran trying to engage in serious attacks against US interests as well as the Israeli ones. This could include a wide scope of targets, including Israeli nuclear sites and allies of Iran could join this,” he said.
He added that the third option could be a hybrid of the two, pointing to Iran’s “levers like in the Strait of Hormuz, which it could close to block the balance of energy in the region”.

Iran’s Araghchi says US attack will have ‘everlasting consequences’​


In his first public remarks after the US strikes, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has accused Washington of breaching international law.
“The United States, a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, has committed a grave violation of the UN Charter, international law and the NPT by attacking Iran’s peaceful nuclear installations,” Araghchi said in a social media post.
“The events this morning are outrageous and will have everlasting consequences. Each and every member of the UN must be alarmed over this extremely dangerous, lawless and criminal behavior.”
He added that Iran “reserves all options to defend its sovereignty, interest, and people”.

Trump’s decision to attack Iran constitute ‘clear grounds for impeachment’​


Here’s more reaction from Democratic legislators on the attacks on Iran.
  • Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer called for the enforcement of the War Powers Act, which limits the president’s ability to use the US military, saying “no president should be allowed to unilaterally march this nation into something as consequential as war with erratic threats and no strategy”.
  • Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said Trump has “impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations”. She added, “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”
  • Congresswoman Ilhan Omar said the strikes on Iran “mark a dangerous and reckless escalation of an already volatile conflict” in the Middle East” and called for “this madness” to end before more lives are lost.
  • Congresswoman Yassamin Ansari called Trump’s action “illegal” and said she will be calling for an immediate emergency session of Congress to vote on the War Powers Resolution.
