Persians are not older Civilization than Greeks , you can go back to Pelasgians

Yes but Pelasgians were primitive, Elamite Empire in 3000 B.C had advanced forms of government, while ancestors of Greeks started with city-states later.

Iranian military official Brig. Gen. Hossein Dehghan: "We will not enter into an all-out war with America under any circumstances and we will respond appropriately to the U.S. strike. Iran's response will be based on wisdom and reason and will be deterrent and influential."

Iranians backed down, scared to death. No War!

Stop siding with Iran. They attacked and got hit back. I don't support the West's oil wars but the theocracy in Iran been asking for war for a loooonnng time. That is undeniable.

US leaving Iraq would be an utter disaster for Israel. I think it was a huge mistake by America to asassinate Soleimani.

We're certainly living in very interesting times !

This is great if you are alone and completely unnecessary, if you already have children.
One and a half or two years ago, I supported any activity and would gladly go throwing grenades if it became necessary. Now ... I'm a "little" more restrained.
