This is hardly BBC verify, is it, BSB?

As a side point, and sorry to railroad, BBC verify is absolutely terrible as well.

It's basically one of these 'fact checking' sites that is politically motivated depending on who's reviewing it. They've had to apologise/reverse on details for getting things wrong on multiple occasions.

‘I don’t like these people so it’s ok they get bombed and die’ is the thought of people on here never mind in Iran or Israel.

We have plenty of secular people in this country who think like this. The more religion slides back the less I think it’s responsible tbh.

The sign of a decent media outlet isn’t never getting things wrong. Would love to hear your gold standard.

Well, politically motivated when you disagree with the findings, objective when you agree.

I absolutely take your point, but the whole POINT of BBC Verify is that they have checked their bloody facts! It's the fact-checking arm of BBC News! I would prefer to believe first-hand accounts from people i think are trustworthy, such as John Simpson, BBC World Affairs Editor, who has been on the ground and reporting from the Middle East since before the Islamic uprising in Persia in 1979 (and got himself on the plane to report on that event, defying his Editor's express orders!). He said on 5Live this morning that don't believe anything either side says currently, as there is no way to prove it. The BBC have been banned from Iran since they launched their BBC Persian service in 2008, which the regime regarded as tantamount to an act of war.

Don’t give a shit about him just my mental health and emotional energy
I've never done social media (well, only SBT :D) none of the big platforms.
Political reasoning aside, I remember a former work colleague years ago saying the same thing (he would have been late '50's then) It was doing his head in and wearing him down so he was gonna sack it.
Can't say I regret my decision.

I suspect you would have been a fundamentally decent person with or without the Church
Yep.

I think people that are good humans but put it down to God are doing themselves a massive disservice.

Always wondered what goes on in their head - do they think if they suddenly stop believing in God they'll suddenly just start treating people like shit and become self serving because it doesn't matter once you're dead. Or is that fear of punishment/hope of reward once you die really enough to stop them becoming mass murderers etc.?

On the other hand those that are nasty and evil use it as an excuse for their own behaviour.

Is this one of those trustworthy non-mainstream media sources we’ve been hearing about?

If I was Iran I’d tie giving up uranium enrichment with requesting Israel to cease Palestine conflict/engage in peace solution (long shot I know). Gives them a face saving ‘out’ and even come out with the moral high ground
According to Ali Shamkhani Iran already offered to give up uranium enrichment as well as allowing weapons inspections, essentially a similar deal to JCPOA which seemed to be working relatively well until Trump unilaterally decided to withdraw the US.

Trump rejected the offer, Israel then killed Shamkhani, who was leading negotiations, and all future rounds of negotiations were scrapped.

Not going to hold my breath on a deal anytime soon.

Great news, some on here will see it differently though that one of our enemies is now virtually no threat

He's clutching at straws on the missile front. Iran was already planning to increase its inventory from around 3000 to over 20,000 ballistic missiles. Iran recently signed a co-operation agreement with russia which included "defense" technology so improved missile technology is potentiallly available to them now (in exchange for the munitions/drones etc they have been providing Russia with). Iran has seen it can swamp the Iron Dome system with comparatively few missiles so will begin ramping production as soon as they get the chance. As to the nuclear side aren't the "experts" saying some of the key components are buried too far underground for Israeli munitions to reach.

Well Iran is clearly a country that the West can trust be be totally honest

to suggest Iran would be trusted is naive at best.

Isn't assuming Israel can be trusted bordering on naive at this point, too? Settlements, Gaza, unilateral attacks of neighbouring countries, ignoring their biggest backer(s), all while sitting on a bunch of nukes with total zealot maniacs pulling the strings behind Netanyahu? I get we're a long from comparing apples vs. apples here but isn't it a bit oversimplistic at this point to make our thinking 'Iran scary, Israel chill'...?
