Your link actually says they were contributing to the defense not the attack > The US-Israeli strikes were launched after negotiations to limit Iran's nuclear programme ended without a deal. The UK did not participate.

Yes that is true. The UK contributes to the defense operations of the imperial aggressors against the Republic.

  What's your view on the Republic's imperial aggression against Iraq, Lebanon and Yemen?

    Which Republic are we talking about? The Islamic Republic or the western "republics"?
    - breppp 8mo ago
      I am talking about the Islamic Republic setting up local mercenary forces in order to extract resources from the local government in Iraq and Lebanon. That's called Imperialism and was common among european powers in the 19th century

I was merely stating that he is conveniently ignoring Iran's imperialist behavior

        Equating Iran's struggle against a genocide in Palestine with Imperialism is misinformed at best, criminal at worst. Either way, only a zionist could say that, which makes this conversation completely useless.

        Can't say how taking over Iraq for economic reasons helps the Palestinians but sure

> The US-Israeli strikes were launched after negotiations to limit Iran's nuclear programme ended without a deal. The UK did not participate. The negotiations didn't end without a deal, they were ongoing but not finalized. The next session of the negotiations was scheduled for Monday. And then, Israel and US simply attacked on Saturday. It is very important to use precise language so as to not downplay the illegal aggression against Iran.

  Take the language issue with the BBC, which is hardly for this war In any case a contrarian opinion might be that Iran promised to yield on negotiations following the previous war as mentioned here: https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/iran-asks-gulf-arab-states-have-trump-press-israel-immediate-ceasefire-sources-2025-06-16/ https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/iran-asks-gulf-ara... And Iran instead opted for their years old tactic of stalling the negotiations
