Case In point I own 10 acres of land in the USA and find the world biggest oil reserve or the world biggest Uranium reserve and I really really hate Britain for whatever reason you can pick. Does that give the UK to enter and bomb my 10 acres back to the stone age?

No, it's Israel that's attacking 7 countries, has nukes, has comitted a genocide against a semite population, while Iran has no interest is having a nuclear bomb, simply because that's what their religion believes, and what the Ayatollah always said. The only thing that can convince them to get a nuke, it's so Israel and US stops bombing them.

Iran had a full nuclear weapons development programme from the 1980s. The US, Russia and China have all stated they have evidence that Iran is still pursuing a bomb, and the IAEA has recently found Iran in breach of NPT guardrails.

Were they hidden in the girl school? Did they have a birthday party with yellow cake? Were the pencil sharpeners made with aluminum tubes?

US, Russia and China have all stated

Very trustworthy nations.

Didn't the US invade a country based on a lie that they had weapons of mass destruction?
