John Scrivener does it again with his senseless letter regarding the Iran war.
99 per cent of Iranians in the diaspora want the Islamic republic stranglehold on Iran to end, and want this war against them to continue.

Just ask almost every single Iranian Australian!
Iranians have suffered terribly since the 1979 revolution.
This was a preemptive strike on military infrastructure, and the only side that kills children in this war is the Iranian IRGC.
Sadly, some civilians are tragically killed in wars, but do you even care about the tens of thousands of Iranian civilians that have been brutally butchered by Iranian forces in the past weeks?
Look how many Muslim countries are against the current Iranian regime!
Israel and the USA have nuclear weapons but will not use them. If the current Iranian regime had nuclear weapons, there is no doubt that they would have used them against many countries around the world by now.

While there is strong opposition within Iran to its hardline regime, there is no evidence that 99 per cent of Iranians want to be invaded by the US and Israel, and want the ‘war to continue’.
It is also widely accepted that the US military killed more than 100 schoolchildren by bombing a school which had not been a military facility for more than ten years.
As for Muslim countries ‘against’ Iran, there has been historically a Sunni/Shia divide, but that has softened in recent years. US intel prior to invasion suggested that Iran posed no immediate threat. After the invasion, Qatar, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Egypt have been trying to avoid conflict, as it brings instability to the region.
While Iran sponsors terrorism, the US and Israel engage in large-scale terrorist acts (in breach of international law) which has led to negative impacts on the global economy –
