Israel attacked Iran. Thursday night. I didn’t do it, I was at Tai Chi, attacking other people. But I would have done, given the chance. No question. I fucking hate Iran. Not the people; they’re lovely. Well, some of them. The ones who totally hate the Ayatollah(s) and the horrendous, repressive, dictatorial, misogynistic, revolting and tortuous regime where the ‘morality police’ find the act of wearing a headscarf improperly to be morally reprehensible whereas the murder of that wearer is fine and dandy. But its that regime which is hateful. As the Ayatollah and his ‘trusty’ IRGC beat, torture and murder anyone and everyone who disagrees or dissents.

Iran’s stated aim is the destruction of ‘the Entity’. Their pet name for Israel. ‘The state which cannot be named’. Like Voldemort with a black hat and long beard. Iran has for years been sending in its proxies to attack Israel. Hamas. Hezbollah. The Houthis. It funds these terrorist groups, it arms them and it hides away in Tehran.

But they don’t just sit in Ayatollahville praying. No. They plot. For the main event. They’re building a nuclear bomb. Maybe more than one. They’ve wanted this for years. They had an agreement with Barak Obama, the fuckwit who agreed to allow them nuclear materials ‘for domestic use’. For ‘electricity production’. Like the world’s biggest producer of oil is going to spend its money on nuclear power. But the UN (more fuckwits) went and investigated the ‘entire country’ (for the geographically fluent, Iran, the country, is ‘fucking humungous’ in size) and ‘found nothing sinister’. So the nuclear material was ‘enriched’. As it has be, to make it ‘work’. Nuclear reactions don’t just happen. And for power stations, the material needs to be 4% enriched.

Yet the massive Iranian nuclear mission now has material enriched up to 60%. Oh, that will light up Tehran really nicely then. At 90% enrichment we’re talking weapons. Nuclear bombs. Which is obviously where they’re headed. And those bombs will only be headed in one direction. Where every Ayatollah has always promised complete destruction. The ‘Entity’.

Which is why Donald Trump gave the Iranians an ultimatum, 63 days ago. He said: ‘do a deal in the next 60 days regarding the nuclear issue, or I’ll take the leash off of Netenyahu, who is chomping at the bit to attack you.’ But even ‘the world’s greatest deal maker can’t deal with obsessive fundamentalist death-mongers.

So, at the 60-day mark, Netenyahu, no-one’s favourite person, pushed the button. Israel struck Iran. Blowing up missile sites, arms depots, a shitload of nuclear ‘facilities’ and just a few nuclear scientists too. Then for good measure it took out the leader of IRGC in a strike of the utmost brilliance. Blowing him up in his home with no one else injured. From a thousand miles away.

Anyway, Iran has, obviously, retaliated and hailed missiles upon the holy land. (That’s ‘our’ holy land, not theirs). But indiscriminately, into civilian areas, anywhere. At least 5 people have been killed. Including 23 babies, according to the BBC.

Israel’s motivation to destroy Iran’s nuclear capabilities was existential. And yet they’re pretty much ‘taking one for the team’ with Iran’s ‘revenge’ strikes and the ‘war’ which is only just beginning. Because Iran would love nothing more than a nuke in New York. London. Paris. Saudi Arabia. All sworn enemies of the hateful Ayatollahs. As is every right-minded nation in the world, and even a high proportion of wrong-minded ones too.

I’ve just arrived in Croatia, that’s my contribution.

Happy Wedding anniversary to me and ‘her’.

A xxxx.
