Israel lies, people die.

The whole Iran situation is bullshit.
How many allied bases surround Iran with a massive arsenal pointed at them? 37, yes that's right 37.
And yet they are a threat to world peace?
The simple reality is Israel does not want to lose the balance of power if Iran makes nukes.
God help us if the do, the unthinkable will happen.
Stalemate.
