That's not a good sign Rommers.

Lets just hope that no troops have died. If they have the consequences for us all could be disastrous.

I’m sat here watching the news. It’s awful.

My best friends Iranian (although she’s never been there before) and she can’t believe any of this. But these last few days are just crazy. And now this.

There’s a war coming isn’t there? Iran (and Russia quite possibly) v Trump

The US will probably bomb target one of the 52 Trump mentioned now, Iran will retaliate and so on and so forth.

Another Gulf War is looking more and more likely.

It will be a localised thing regarding the Middle East and more innocent people will die in their thousands.

We will be fine, as will the US mainland.

That's not to say there will not be a heightened terror threat at home. It's possibly safe to say that will be as read.

Always the innocents buh.

Iran have been doing military drills with Russia and China.

I doubt Russia will want to get involved, at least militarily. They don't sell offensive weapons to the Iranian. Hopefully Putin will calm them down and no troops have died.

Trump talking to the nation within the hour. Lets hope he doesn't talk in the heat of the moment.

I’d say this is the most important speech of his life.

If he says something in the heat of the moment here, he’s gonna cause massive massive irreparable damage.

Trump NOT talking to the nation now apparently.

Someone somewhere has managed to convince him that anything he says is going to be harmful and add fuel to the inferno.

Lets hope politics and not military exchange wins the day.

Calls for restraint from Europe and maybe Israel and the Sauds will consider a measured response for a change.

Maybe Iranians will call against the RG at home to rein it in and take to the streets. The divisive nature of their population will need to be addressed one day. Maybe this will be their time.

Potentially interesting times ahead, but worryingly troublesome for those on the doorstep. Things need, indeed must, change there at some point, and it won't happen peacefully.

Meh i'm off to bed then. Hopefully I won't wake up to bad news.

It says a lot about the world that one of the first things BBC News did after the news broke was check how it had impacted Asian stock markets. The world is obsessed with money and stocks.

I suppose in the moments after an attack like this stock and shares are verifiable. The actual events in Iraq won’t be right away.

I too am off to bed now. Been watching in disbelief at a lot of the stuff being said.

And yes the fact sky and BBC kept going to their stock market correspondents for updates was just baffling.

Russia aren't going to get involved in a war with the US, it's a no win for them. If they didn't want to do it at the height of their power they definitely aren't going to do it now.

Seems Trump thinks it's a fair response, bases warned in advance and people able to evacuate.

Indeed, Minimum casualties and no American troops killed. This attack allows Iran to save face and tell their population they have attacked the great Satan in revenge for the death of their martyr Soleimani.

Hopefully a Trump lets them have this and we move on.

I’d hope that there are wise heads in the Whitehouse who would point out to Trump that this is a very big win. Soleimani, the biggest enabler of middle east terrorism and proxy wars has been taken out and Iran have given their token response.

I accept a Trump is not a “normal” President and could ignore sane advice.

You'd like to think so, but he does have a habit of getting rid of people who don't wholly sign up to his rather bizarre antics.

I do hope this is the end of it, but I don't see how Trump can spin this do be a plus for him, which is all he cares about.

Don't panic Rommy

It's not a patch on the scares we had during the cold war.

Despite everything common sense usually prevails.

I'm not sure that this, in itself, is either unexpected or that concerning. The Iranian regime had to respond in some showy way. The bit to be more concerned about is if they start pushing terrorism in Western countries again.
