It is an almost exact replay of what we saw in 2002-2003 during the build-up to the war of aggression against Iraq – with one significant exception. The "progressive” opposition to the baseless warmongering is virtually non-existent this time around – because the warmonger-in-chief is their own champion, their partisan standard-bearer.
Fact: Iran does not possess a nuclear weapon.
Fact: Iran has the right, according to international law, to develop nuclear energy for civilian use.
Fact: Iran’s nuclear energy program is regularly monitored by the International Atomic Energy Agency.
Fact: Iran has never started a war.
Fact: The United States possesses 10,600 Nuclear war heads in its stockpile, 7,982 of which are deployed and 2,700 of which are in a contingency stockpile. The total number of nuclear war heads that have been built from 1951 to present is 67,500.
Fact: The United States is the only country y to have ever used nuclear weapons. It did so when it incinerated hundreds of thousands of Japanese people living in the cities of Nagasaki and Hiroshima.
Neither city had any military significance.
Fact: The United States has spent $7 trillion on nuclear weapons. The U.S. military budget for 2012 alone is about equal to Iran’s entire Gross National Product.
Fact: Israel, the largest recipient of U.S. foreign aid (about $3 billion in 2011), unlike Iran, possesses hundreds of nuclear weapons.
Fact: Israel, unlike Iran, refuses to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, or allow the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) into Israel to monitor its nuclear program.
Fact: There is active discussion in the Israeli media about whether Israel will carry out military strikes against Iran’s nuclear energy facilities. Israel bombed similar nuclear civilian energy facilities in Iraq in 1981 ("Operation Babylon”) and in Syria in 2007 ("Operation Orchard”).
Fact: The United States and Britain used severe economic sanctions and CIA covert operatives to over throw the democratically elected government of Iran led by Dr. Mohammad Mosaddegh in 1953.
The Iranian government had nationalized the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company (AIOC), which became known as British Petroleum (BP), in a campaign to use oil profits to eradicate widespread poverty within Iran. The successful CIA and British Intelligence coup d’état put the Shah of Iran (King) back in power. The Shah’s dictatorship denationalized Iranian oil and returned it to the ownership of British and U.S. oil companies. The Shah executed and tortured thousands during his 26-year bloody reign, which ended in the 1979 revolution that created the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Fact: The United States broke diplomatic relations with Iran and has pursued a policy of economic sanctions against the country since the over throw of the U.S.-backed Shah (King).
Fact: Iran’s oil reserves are the fourth largest in the world — it has 12.7 percent of the world’s known oil reserves. That makes Iran’s oil reserves second only to Saudi Arabia in the Middle East, greater than those of Iraq.
Fact: The new economic sanctions against Iran include a ban on the import, sale and trade of Iranian oil, which constitutes half of Iran’s Gross National Product. It forbids any company in the world that does any business with Iran or its Central Bank from having any trade or economic transaction with a U.S. bank or corporation.
Fact: The economic sanctions are an effort to create economic suffering in Iran and to deprive the country of the goods and services to sustain life. According to international law, these economic sanctions constitute a blockade or an act of war against Iran even though Iran poses no threat to the people of the United States or Europe.

Because they are too scared to start one on their own. Regardless, Fact: Iran funds armed militias all over the Middle East to do their proxy fighting for them. That is even lower than starting a war.

Fact: It ended the war, made the axis countries surrender to the sheer power, and if used before, perhaps millions of soviet soldiers wouldn't have to die to the Nazi army.]
1) You don't think that the US and Israel fund terrorist groups? Israel funded a militia group to strike Turkey remember. Turkish citizens succumbed to attacks perpetrated by Israeli funded militia.

Correct. Also - Israel, or the Mossad to be more specific, recruited, trained and armed Iranian Kurds residing in Iraq.
The Kurds that want a homeland are fought by the Iranians, Turks, Syrians and to a lesser extent, the Iraqis.
So Israel helps them by offering training and weapons.
Then over in Israel there are the Palestinians who want their home back and Israel fights these folk, while all the others(Turks, Iranians, Iraqis, Syrians) that fight the Kurds, support the Palestinians...
They are ALL full of it. Just abusing people for their own petty political gains which will be forgotten about in less than a hundred years anyways...

Please tell me why most of your neighboring countries don't support Iran either.
Could it be that they've promised to support their neighbors while stabbing them in the back with the support of terrorist activity at the same time to fit their own agenda?
Could it be that they've been playing both sides of the fence for too long and NO ONE trusts them any more?

2) No, it did not end the war. At the time, both Germany and Japan were very much feeling the effects of war, in fact Japan (By memory) was going to pull out of the war 2 days after the Nukes hit.
PS: The nukes were used ny the US as a means of flexing it's muscles, and look where that got the world, to the brink of destruction, with the Cold War and the Nuclear arms race.

The ones who took lands and made themselves our neighbor.
The one who are after their Nile till Furat plan. Then they want the whole universe.
This is just their ambition and won't come true.
You do know that it is a lie,right? Israel never supported PKK - unlike Palestinains and Syrians. Oh, and Iranians,for a while
But PKK is not in Iraq.
Israel is not Iranian neighbor, it has no border with Iran.
Look at the map. It should help. Since 1970s Israel is shrinking.

There is no "Nile till Furat Plan" as you say. No, they do not want to take over the whole universe.
This is Iran propaganda that's been fed to you in order to move Israel out of the Middle East.
It wouldn't matter if Israel settled for their current borders because your country won't be happy until they move out of the Middle East altogether, and we both know it. And we both know it's because they're not Muslim. Just because Israel doesn't want to divide Jerusalem doesn't mean they're trying to take over the whole universe, or even the Middle East for that matter.
Your right:
