    Strangely, the attack on the drone factory in the Islamic Republic of Iran, to give it it's correct title, has gone unreported in the UK medis, I tend to skim through the websites of the BBC, Telegraph and Grauniad daily but this is news to me. I wonder why the shooting down of a balloon by the USAF is headline news while the shooting up of an Iranian drone factory by Mossad is ignored ? Who knows whose tune our MSM dances to these days.

    I wonder if this attack is in response to Ukrainian appeals to Israel for assitance, they can always claim it's a form of self defence, as the drones could also be used against them, so killing two birds with one stone, so to speak.

    The report implies that Israel's allies inside Iran more or less give Mossad an unlimited highway into Tehran.

    I'm all for defending your borders but are Iran and Israel officially at war?

    As Iran are supplying financial aid and weapons, no doubt including drones to Hamas, Islamic Jihad and Hezbollah amongst others, all dedicated to the destruction of Israel, I would suggest an official declaration of war is irrelevant, it certainly troubles neither Israel nor Iran.

    And yet again it makes my previous point, any discussion of the Israeli/Palestinian problem that ignores, or does not take into account Iran, is pointless and futile.

    Get off your high horse please mon ami. I deliberately researched the attack by Israel on Iranian soil to begin a discussion. We all know Iran are fighting a proxy war on Israel and the Labour party in the main supports the Palestinians.

    Neither Iran nor the British Labour party supports the IDF shenanigans in Gaza, but it makes neither of them anti-Semitic, they just don't like how Israel treats the Palestinians.
