If these know alls on sky news had a bit of experience on a two way shooting range they might feel a bit more cautious in there war mongering rhetoric especially that idiot who wears a rubber mask.

Time to be totally serious by making practical, realistic moves to eradicate the Iranian terrorist leadership AT LEAST for the sake of the down-trodden citizens of that nation.
@
You gave your 'opinion' of Vance but didn't back it with facts and information for your viewers. . Please remember you are just the MEDIA, your OPINION without information doesn't count.

If one makes a contribution to US political gridlock and instead of earning journalist capital is awarded to reward of being compromised, who do you think earned the reward? Iran war needs to stop as US will be defeated by a once small nation.

They aren't a sovereign state, the population is being held hostage

Yes, Trump needs to go to eliminate the leadership. But he also needs to continue the bombings to get rid of the military assets. And many other things.
@
To wantonly murder the entire leadership of a country, including their families and young children, located thousands of kilometers from the US, and be surprised that the Iranians want to kill him in return. Incredible.
@
Another pointless interview by Sky News, Trump is so far out of his depth he has no clue how to successfully manage things and there’s not a single member in the Administration up for the task of sensible negotiations.. 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏽♂️

i'm shure Iran felt the same way when the ayatollah was bombed lol.

They need to say that a vile offensive muslim nation needs to accept a far
more superior countrys intent on protecting it own national sovereignty and identity!

why in the world would I use a nasal dialator unless I had real nasal breathing problems ? yah just train my nostril to get wider... sure..
@
So, we needed the possibility of an assassination attempt to realize negotiations with Iran are useless? We knew that almost 50 years ago!
@
Peter; No other President in the last 47 years have had the stomach or gonads to take on the Iranian regime nuclear ambition. Bit like Australia. Reserved and sitting on the fence. Yes, it's taking more than 3 day's to shut down a potentially world threat. The IRGC fought their Arab neighbour Iraq for 8 year's. Let's give a bit of credit where credit is due because words is all Australia can give.

Bollocks , the back channels between the intelligence agency's of USA and Israel will remain open for as long as the right holds sway the political static is of little consequence , a diversion of attention by dropping scraps of discord they well know will set the pack howling in the desired direction , the wrong one .

Peter Jennings funded by the Military Complex. Dean and Jennings funded by News Corp and other Right-Wing Grubs.👍

I love it when foreign pundits sit in on top secret military planning sessions in Washingtin, D.C., America, and then tell the rest of us what they believe is in the mind and heart of our president.

Back in my day, diplomacy actually meant something. You sat at the table and your word was your bond. Now we've got assassination plots? It's a different world entirely. Hard to believe we've reached a point where a leader just gives up on negotiating because the other side is playing for keeps. Sad state of affairs.

It's a stark reminder of how fragile diplomacy is when there's a total lack of trust. Having lived through various geopolitical shifts, I've seen this pattern before—once a line like this is crossed, dialogue usually takes a backseat to security. Do you think any future administration can actually reset this, or is the bridge permanently burnt?

hard to see any way back from that, cal. once someone tries to take you out, the talking stops.

Absolute madness that a plot like this is even on the table. Peter Jennings really hits the nail on the head regarding how this changes the whole game for negotiations. Do you reckon this puts diplomacy completely off the table now, or is there still a way back? Who's your take on this?
