As Western states unite to condemn Iran for its massive attack, I’m reminded of this prewar Punch cartoon of Britain and France telling off Mussolini.

There must be consequences for Iran’s aggression.

An angry communiqué is not a consequence.

Israel protects freedom of worship.

The Iranian Regime intentionally harms places of worship.

WH National Security Council Spokesperson John Kirby on Meet the Press:

“This morning is just an incredible military achievement by Israel and quite frankly the United States and other partners that helped Israel defend itself against more than 300 drones and missiles.

It’s…

I spoke today with British Foreign Secretary David Cameron and French Foreign Minister Stéphane Séjourné. I thanked them for their assistance in the thwarting Iranian attack on Israel last night, for their steadfast support, and true friendship in times of need 🇬🇧🇮🇱🇫🇷.

Hey BBC News (World), in case you were wondering, these 'objects' weren't paper airplanes or plastic bottles but rather ballistic missiles and drones equipped with high grade weapons. Do you think you may have misled your readers (again) on this one?

The Iranian regime has led the Middle East to the edge of the abyss. We condemn Iran's direct attack on #Israel in the strongest possible terms. I have re-assured our full solidarity with Israel to ישראל כ”ץ Israel Katz & בני גנץ - Benny Gantz. Außenministerin Annalena Baerbock 1/4

Iran is the world's biggest violator of human rights. It must no longer hold any position in the UN. And the Council must condemn Iranian terrorism, impose crippling sanctions on Iran and declare the Revolutionary Guards a terrorist organization. Not for Israel, but for the whole…

Hopefully soon, mates.

The Wall Street Journal reports that American officials believe Israel is likely to retaliate against Iran for Saturday night's attack as soon as possible, possibly even today.

The worst takes on the Iranian attack of April 13-14 are those who call it “symbolic”. This was a massive, unprecedented attack of historic proportions. Never before in history were so many drones, ballistic, missiles and cruise missiles (350 in total) used at the same time in an…

The massive Iran missile & drone attack was repelled.

Thankfully.

But will the West now revert back to naive engagement w/ Iran’s regime?

Will the West still live in denial as Iran arms Russia, Syria, Hezbollah, Houthis & Hamas?

Will the West still turn the other cheek as…

Can we get something straight please:

On 1 April 2024, Israel did not attack an Iranian consulate in Damascus. It was a terrorist HQ for the IRGC, masquerading as a diplomatic mission.

Mohammad Reza Zahedi, the Iranian general who was eliminated in the attack, was no Gandhi. He…

Per the Wall Street Journal: Saudi Arabia and the UAE shared classified intelligence with the US to help thwart Iran’s attack against Israel.

U.S. officials told The Wall Street Journal that half of the ballistic missiles that Iran launched either failed to launch or fell from the sky before reaching their targets.

Hamas will add any casualties to its tally of people killed by Israel.

Menachem Vorchheimer That’s the difference between us and them.

Responding with love & song

Christians & Jews gathered in the Netherlands to support Israel

When pro-Palestinian protestors tried to disrupt, they responded in song singing “הבאנו שלום עליכם” - a song about peace

The perfect response

#Israel

Australia supports the G7 Leaders' statement unequivocally condemning Iran’s direct and unprecedented attack against Israel.

Iran's actions are destabilising and risk provoking an uncontrollable regional escalation.

Australia backs the G7's efforts to avoid further escalation.
