  • @davidtay9347
    I loved the Persians people.They welcomed tourists with their arms open.Kind and nice ppl.The 60-70s Iran was unbelievable modern and advanced
  • I wish you could make a video called ā€œWhy people donā€™t want any conflict, and stupid politicians are obsessed with conflict.ā€
  • @FrogLehane

  • @mmmooo78
    Its hurts my brain to think people think this is actual news and not blatant propaganda
  • @jabeddh
    Hello BBC, would you make a list of involvement in the conflict by country, so we can easily understand which country is involved in "So many conflicts"

    BBC THE MASTER OF DISINFORMATION šŸ˜‚
  • @ShivamDhawan
    Love the balls to keep the comments section open on such a video.
  • @tomlee7956
    You kidding me? Let's do a video about who is behind, who starts all these conflicts...
  • @dogstar5927
    Self imposed, reinforcing belief systems particularly like religion, are a blight on humanityā€™s evolution of its consciousness !
  • @tvted6160
    Iran has been weeks way from a nuclear weapon for last 20 years šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚
  • @rosegreen9488
    And do you think Britain and the US havenā€™t been involved in nearly every war?!!
  • @StuckinRiyadh
    A regime clearly loved more by followers of You Tube than its own people who have clearly had enough.
  • @Longhiepsi9999
    Why are the US and UK involved in every conflict in the world? This is the right question.
  • @maxa1152
    This very channel helped khomeini to take over Iran in 79
  • In 1978 I was a student at Grenoble University. We British students became friends with a group of charming and hospitable Iranians who were studying nuclear science in Grenoble, presumably at the invitation of the French government. Merci les gars!
  • @AnthonyHTerry
    Well if it really wants self preservation then it should not create reason of war against a particular country that it doesn't want to relate or binds itself for a conflict later on.
