He points out that from 1983 to 1988 Iraq launched around 20 different chemical weapon attacks on Iran.
'Not once during that period did Iran develop or use chemical weapons. Not at all. Why? Because of the religious principle. They viewed that as a sin. So we've already seen, you know, Iran has always got a history of exercising actually some moral ethical judgments in what it does.'
Iran could force the Arab Gulf States to evacuate their entire populations if they destroy the desalination plants. He thinks moral considerations have deterred her. He thinks that if Israel uses her bomb Russia and China will retaliate. I don't believe that. He even thinks it possible that Israel will cease to exist as a result, Surely this is widely speculative. I do think England and Europe should stay out of this.
