The USA and other powers - including Russia which is already Iran's ally - wading in.
A lot of this, though not all, can be laid at America having deliberately wrecked the multinational nuclear-power treaty with Iran, for no clear purpose.
If the UK and other European nations stay out of it they may regain some respect from the Tehran government, nasty though that government is even to Iranians, with some prospect of resurrecting the treaty.
I don't know if President Trump imagines that bombing the country will lead into becoming a peaceful, friendly democracy; but if so he will fail. Only the Iranians themselves can do that, by their own efforts.

Apart from all the innocent civilian lives that are going to be lost in another senseless war? My biggest concern is that because the US is almost certainly going to side with the aggressor, Israel, we are going to be an even greater villain on the global scene that we already are, and make of ourselves a bigger target. And it's well known that the type of people we're enraging have less incentive to differentiate between military and civilian targets, because they have a massive disadvantage to begin with.
In other words, this is going to lead to more terrorist attacks on civilians in the US.

Nuclear detonations

@Pisciatto1 Those won't happen but hitting nuclear-materials plants could well release radioactive materials, though the type and power of the radiation will vary considerably.

The usual about wars.. 😏 in an ideal world we don't have wars .. but when you live in a world where the the islamic tyrants occupying iran are using the country's resources to pay your neighbors to murder you and are literally sending bombs to attack your people and are threatening to make a bigger more deadly bomb.. well you have to fight them 🙄 because they obviously use them and you have to eliminate the threat.. Israel targets the weapons and the military threats unlike her enemies who actually want to eliminate her people which is the real attempted genocide .. but the islamic regime uses their wealth and influence to throw shade on Israel to the highest degree but that’s another story.

The loss of civilian lives on either side. Escalation and the threat of nuclear bombs.

That the US response won't be Swift and hard enough to crush the regime

That Israel is on the verge of using a nuke.

@TangledUpInBlue Then prove to me that there is a White genocide going on in S Africa. There's certainly a vendetta against S African farmers of all races, that I don't dispute. But I dismiss claims of White genocide. Provide actual verifiable evidence to the contrary.

@iamthe99 Why should I have to prove anything to you, again? I shared plenty the other day, but you didn’t engage with it. You didn’t read it properly, and you certainly didn’t listen. Instead, you proceeded to lecture me on the reality of a country I actually live in, as if my firsthand perspective means nothing.
And let’s be clear: I never used the word “genocide.” That’s your word, not mine. So before demanding proof for claims I haven’t made, take a moment to engage with what’s actually being saidnot what you’ve decided to argue against.
If you’re genuinely interested in open, good-faith dialogue, then show it. Until then, it’s hard to see the point in having another one-sided exchange where only one of us is expected to listen.

@TangledUpInBlue Then remind me which thread that was on and I’ll have another look
