Let them die then.
I'm just as British as Elon Musk is South African.
"I love Judaism and I love the Jewish people.
AIPAC and Israel are not the same as Judaism
The most dangerous thing is expanding antisemitism to include criticism of Israel"

Absolutely Correct!

I'm British. Britain is my homeland. I was born here. And if you think Muslims are afraid of someone like Rupert Lowe, then I'm afraid you haven't understood Islam.
We're not going anywhere, get used to it.

Muslim subversive migrants who should be deported are absolutely terrified of Rupert Lowe gaining power
They know the power Islam has in the UK will be removed

Spain is being invaded.
The U.S. Treasury is on the brink, and the Strait of Hormuz will never be the same again.
Whatever your politics, one thing is now clear: any future attack on Iran comes with an economic price tag Washington can no longer pretend doesn't exist.
Iran has sent Trump and Netanyahu a message they'll have to factor into every future decision:
Think twice before attacking Iran again.

Iran says talks with Oman on a temporary safe route are in their final stages.
Notably, the United States is not part of these discussions. The Strait of Hormuz is ultimately a regional waterway, and any long-term arrangements will be negotiated by the states that border it - not by Donald Trump.

Iran hasn't bowed to Donald Trump, and he's running out of options.
He's threatened Iran. The U.S. has launched military strikes. They've piled on sanctions, applied maximum pressure, and hoped internal unrest would bring down the government.
None of it has worked.
It's time for Trump to admit that coercion has failed and surrender.

The U.S. needs to step back from the Middle East.
Whether Trump likes it or not, Iran and the Arab Gulf states are permanent neighbours. Geography dictates that they will have to coexist, and over time, that means finding areas of accommodation.
Ultimately, regional stability will depend far more on reconciliation between its own states than on outside powers.

The Iranian people overthrew the Shah in 1979. The will of the people drove foreign interference out of their nation.
Before that, in 1953, the UK and U.S. backed a military coup that removed Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh after he nationalised Iran's oil industry.
Now you're trying to do again. But this time round, Donald Trump miscalculated that Iran IS the Islamic Republic.

@Bushra1Shaikh I've been saying it since 1979 when they invaded the US Embassy.
Now I say "It is well past it's expiration date"
IRAN IS THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC.
GET USED TO SAYING IT.
Not only is Rupert Lowe a nasty Islamophobe who attracts the hard-line anti-Muslim dregs of society, he is also a beg.
If an MP was to say the things he does about Islam about any other religion, they'd have been kicked out of Parliament by now.
I'm no fan of Nigel Farage, but bringing Lowe back into Reform UK could prove to be political suicide.

Here's Donald Trump's masterclass in The Art of the Deal:
Announce an attack on Iran, cancel the attack, then negotiate a deal - all with yourself.
Some of the worst crimes ever committed in history were carried out by people who identified as Christians.
Yet figures like Elon Musk rarely seem to bring that up when discussing religion and violence.

Rupert Lowe is a fringe extremist. If Reform UK wants a chance at the next general election, it will need to continue distancing itself from him and the vile racist, Islamophobic rhetoric that he spews all day long.

The Greater Manchester result showed what Restore Britain can deliver.
The next step is how we maximise the chances of delivering the change Britain needs - it means putting personal differences aside.
That is why today I am making a public offer to Nigel Farage and Reform UK.

Woah. This is actually insane.
Washington cannot continue guaranteeing long-term missile defence against Iran’s ballistic missile capabilities for U.S. forces, nor for allies such as Israel.
It's over for Washington in Iran.
The U.S need Patriots and
THAADs.
Ukraine need U.S Patriots and THAADs.
Israel needs U.S Patriots and THAADs.
Saudi Arabia needs U.S Patriots and THAADs.
Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and the UAE.
Even if they wanted to, they cannot sustain the supply to demand.

Desperate Donald begging for deal AGAIN:
Oil prices rising.
Strait of Hormuz still blocked.
Wider escalation of war.
Depleting missile stockpiles.
Crashing economy.
Unpopular President.
Losing control of the conflict.
IRAN BROKE TRUMP

Trump says he is cancelling strikes on Iran subject to 'rapidly' making deal
The bigger reason for Donald Trump cancelling an attack on Iran is the risk of losing control of the conflict.
U.S. missile stockpiles are under pressure. Inventory of Patriot interceptors has fallen from 2,200 before the war to fewer than 827, and THAAD missiles from 452 to fewer than 278.
A strike on Iran could quickly trigger a wider regional war involving multiple actors, from Lebanon and Gaza, to the Houthis in Yemen and place additional pressure on Saudi Arabia.
Washington no longer as the realistic ability to sustain a wider conflict.
