    Israel has nuclear weapons and nobody bats an eyelid, Iran wants the same and gets the rest of the world on it's case and bombed into the bargain.
    Also note bombing hospitals in Gaza is not a war crime however bombing a hospital in Israel is a war crime, go figure, since when did two wrongs make a right?

      Iran is verbalizing hatred to many countries. Iran wants all the world to fall into their own beliefs. Iran could care less about human lives.

          That old expression 'Everyone's out of step bar our Jack' leaps to mind.

            Rather odd that the US president vowed to stop his country from involvement with other country's wars but has now physically become involved with the Iran/Israel conflict. As we are unlikely ever to learn the truth behind what is really fact or fiction , we have to rely on Trump having made the right decision. I'm not convinced because it seems likely that it will continue with the usual "tit for tat" and the inevitable devastation and death. Despite his claims to be able to end the war between Ukraine and Russia in a matter of weeks, that conflict still sails on. Whilst he can't be blamed for that, why do we all seem to live under the impression that he is the key figure in solving world conflict ? Yes, the US probably does have the armament capability to wipe out most of the rest of us if it chooses to do so but one can only hope that someone will keep his finger off the button. The problems in the Middle East have been simmering for decades and whilst no sane person would agree with the regime in Iran, most sane people would have a problem with some of Israel's recent actions too.
            As said, who actally decides which nations are allowed nuclear capability and which aren't ?

              If you are looking for “regime change” why bomb the prison holding the political dissidents of the country, namely Evin prison? Surely those are the very people who would have been able to assemble a new regime, if only you hadn’t blasted them to smithereens?

                  Bananas first arrived in the U.K. after WW 2 from Jamaica when on 30th December 1945 they arrived onboard SS Tilapa which arrived in Avonmouth.

                        A very elderly lady would only buy overripe black bananas from my local shop. She must have grown up with them.

                            For some reason I couldn't stand bananas as a youngster, reached 30 and found I liked them.
                            Had some different, but nice bananas in both Ethiopia and Nepal/India.
