Politics does not dictate our collective cultural mindset as much as it simply reflects it; We've got to look in the mirror sometimes, and we've got one.

Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp Leads Charge on Starmer's Iran War Stance.
The Iran War has to be one of the most dangerous and unnecessary wars this century so far. Trump has changed the narrative of why he and his partner in crime, Netanyahu, attacked Iran. First, it was to liberate the Iranian people. Then Iran's support for Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis, etc. Then it's Iran enriching uranium and its ballistic missile programme. Since the war began, the Ayatollah Khamenei has been assassinated along with top military commanders. His son is now the new Ayatollah. A girl's school has been bombed, with 100 or so schoolgirls sent to Allah. Iran's infrastructure has been hit hard, as has its military and government. If they bombed the Founder of the Islamic Republic's mausoleum, Ayatollah Khomeini, it wouldn't surprise me. It seems the Americans and Israelis are hitting anything and everything across Iran. Similar to the levelling of Gaza by the IDF. Hundreds of Iranians have been killed and injured, civilian and military alike.

US Foreign Policy About Iran
Regime change, change control—these are all the issues involved. What do you actually want? Politically, what is your real endgame? The United States has never really cared about what will happen to the people of Afghanistan. You saw it just four or five years ago—how much concern did the U.S. show about the people it was leaving behind and what the Taliban might do to them?

Analysis Of US-ISR- IRAN WAR
The situation is ongoing, and if I were to summarize the details—because data is coming very late—it's totally difficult to confirm the casualties and how much damage has been done so far. Many reporters, particularly those on Al Jazeera, are stating that footage from both Hezbollah and Israel is not being released. Similarly, in the UAE, there is an effort to prevent influencers and various reporters from sharing information. People are afraid because their business capital is at risk. Additionally, two important things that I discussed in my last blog about the "magazine depth problem" are now being acknowledged by Western media. They also agree that this war won't last for many days and will have to rely on limited strikes. Trump, however, has also stated that there is no end game for this operation, Epic Fury.
