  4. Is threatening to wipe another country off the map for decades on end also part of international responsibility?

  7. Iran has around 10% OF THE WORLD OIL RESERVES. i FIND IT DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE THEY JUST WANT enriched Uranium for nuclear energy. Besides, would you want an irresponsible country to even have nuclear energy? Look at US, UK, Russia, and Japan! All had accidents!!

  8. Islamic regime will loose this war. They are the reason why gazans, lebanese, syrian and yemen a failed state. Iran shouldnt fight with israel instead build their nation better

  10. Shooting rockets at civilians, if they are not Muslims, is self-defence by Iran 😂😂. Do you understand the journalism of these people?. Else they will scream civilians are getting killed.

  13. Hitting fuel dumps is petty compared to irans hypersonic strikes. Israel loosing according to Kernel Douglas McGregor and Scott ritter

  14. Never support a country whose leaders are wanted by the International Criminal Court for the worst crimes imaginable like at Nuremberg in 1945.

  30. “We are determined to lead the region towards peace…” by making war. The Israelis are not even disguising their hypocrisy anymore.

  33. I don't care about either side but Iran's military is not even close to Israel's military. Everyone knows that so it's obvious who will win this.

  35. I don't understand why Iran needs to constantly provoke a war with Israel who doesn't share a border with it. Zero border issues. Israel has never denied Iran of the right to exist. Iran could have just develop peacefully.

  36. Braking dogs are being kicked . They are habitual in provoking others even if they can't fight . What was the need to jump in israel hamas war . Now israel will teach them a proper lesson

  37. The God chosen peoples pulling the EU Canada India and Australia into its greater Israel motives and beyond is classic 😮😮😮 and for greater America

  41. The God chosen peoples and the US, are pulling the EU, Canada, India and SK into it's greater Israel motives and for greater American 😮😮😮
