The Biggest News From The War Hasn't Made It To DU Yet

Krasnov gave Iran 2 more weeks before he starts bombing nuclear power plants, well, Israel just bombed 2 nuclear Iranian facilities which has caused a radiation leak.

Iran has declared that it will respond in kind.

I don't know what anyone else thinks but if Iran and Israel start targeting nuclear facilities we are talking WW III.

No one else but me see this? Maybe Iran is blowing what happened out of proportion, but it did say it will respond in kind.

Bibi is afraid that Krasnov wants to pull out, Bibi doesn't want to end the war until Iran is decimated so negotiations are futile, are not relevant. Israel may want Armageddon, the end times, the coming of Jesus, who knows? Is Israel even a part of these co-called negotiations? Who is negotiating for Israel?

By Al Jazeera Staff, AFP, Reuters and The Associated Press
Published On 27 Mar 202627 Mar 2026

Israel has struck a uranium processing facility in the central Iranian city of Yazd, the Israeli military confirmed, in an escalatory move that comes as regional diplomats have been attempting to broker an agreement to halt the joint US-Israeli war on Iran.

The Israeli Air Force said it hit a plant used to extract raw materials essential to the uranium enrichment process, describing it as a “unique facility” in Iran’s nuclear infrastructure. Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization confirmed the strike, but said there were no casualties or radiation leaks.

Lebanon is in shambles, Yemen is coming into the fight, and Gaza is basically gone.

Radiation leaks will hurt the people as well as regions.

War is ugly and pretty much avoidable.

This war is an opportunity to inflict as much as can be gotten away with.

Bibi is definitely not interested in negotiating an end to hostilities. He wants it to go on, all the better if the USA foots most of the bill.

Eye for an Eye thing with Israel? I mean, their strategy seems to be keep your boot on your opponents throats forever. It's just not sustainable.

War costs far more in money and materials than trying to get along with your neighbors. And forcing the US to help is only going to fuel opposition from your biggest supporter AND move up the day of reckoning because whether anyone wants to admit it or not, the US debt crisis is only getting worse and closer to a point where real hard decisions are going to have to be made.

But in a cycle of violence like the Middle East conflicts, an "eye for an eye" makes everyone blind.

Mutually Assured Destruction very likely prevented large scale war between the USA and USSR.

Of course, there were some nasty little wars using proxies.

want Armageddon and the return of Jesus. If millions of Jews and Muslims are killed in the process, they couldn't care less. Any Christians who are killed go to heaven (in their mind) so they're good with that too.
