Iran reportedly attacked a base on Diego Garcia Island in the Indian Ocean with two ballistic missiles.

Two ballistic missiles were launched yesterday at the island, which is located 3,800 km from the Iranian coast. They were clearly not launched from the coast, and therefore likely traveled 4,000 km or more.

According to the American side, one of the missiles fell into the sea, while an SM-3 interceptor was launched from a US destroyer at the other. Allegedly, neither missile ultimately reached its target.

4,000km is enough to reach London from North west Iran.   

Tired of all this "winning" yet, Donald?

Must be nearly TACO (Trump Always Chickens Out) time.

WW3 fears explode as Iran 'rushes to create missile to hit Europe'

The Islamic Republic has already hit Cyprus and there are fears the mullahs could have their sites (I assume that's supposed to be "sights") on a major European city.

Trump is going to blow up the world, he's like the bumbling Frank Spencer but a lot, lot more dangerous.



"That's the best I can do for you today, sir".

The Donald actually has them by the pussy, and is wedging both flip-flopping India and China by saying Iranian oilers can go through unharmed.... of course by doing that he is declaring the freedom of the seas, meaning any Iranian attacks on oilers will cause retaliation and IRAN shutting off freedom of the seas makes it the culprit (already is but let's not let reality get in the way of a good geo-political bullshot game).... and is giving China and India no room to make any silly decision such as assuming that their own expansionist ideas could go ahead at a time of crisis.

I might ask why it is that we are so keen to import so many Indians when their country is half-enemy of the West... were we so short of console operators at the Costly Bowser enterprises?

Oh - I know - they were going to wipe aged bums .... sure, sure.... they have greater  ambitions in a FREE country of comparative luxury than that... why wipe bums when you can pay indigent tent city slickers to do it for you while you reap NDIS and Aged Care etc? ..... and of course 'GDP' at a time of struggling real Productivity needed to be made to look as if it was alive and well by introducing more consumers to suck up every single loose dollar, leaving the majority with Pharkall*, but don't let that get in the way of your Digital Demented ideology.


* some of you DID have the nous to see that, didn't you?  Would YOU employ any of those 'economists'?

there is no plan. donald trump and israel have dragged the world into an optional and immoral war for no good reason, with no clear objectives (anymore) that will if allowed to continue, plunge the global economy into severe economic recession, possible depression. some of the rationales i have seen from trump himself or his various apologists, in australia and abroad, are nothing short of risible; "we had to strike iran because they are mean to the gays", literally this is a war that will destroy the global economy, but worth it because it is a crusade for butt sex and aids to some people. talk about a confrontation with global satanic forces, if i was iranian or religious right now that is exactly how i would see things.

the sooner we see the arse end or, preferably, the embalmed body lying in state, of mango, the better. what a colossal failure his second term is shaping up to be; he will be handing his political opponents a mandate to rule for eons if this continues at the current pace and is allowed to escalate even further.

Trump's illegal invasion of Iran has guaranteed more terrorist attacks.

He's made the terrorism problem ten times worse.

Iran responds to Trump’s ultimatum, threatens attacks on US, Israeli infrastructure
Iran threatens to strike US and Israeli infrastructure across the region if its facilities are attacked, responding to President Trump’s 48-hour ultimatum to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.


The threat came shortly after Trump stated that Iran must reopen the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours or face strikes on its power plants.

“If Iran doesn’t FULLY OPEN, WITHOUT THREAT, the Strait of Hormuz, within 48 HOURS from this exact point in time, the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various POWER PLANTS, STARTING WITH THE BIGGEST ONE FIRST!" the President wrote in a post on Truth Social.
