If the Iranian people do not want war then they should pull themselves back from the brink before it is too late. Even if you believe that Israel is an evil country full of inhuman Zionists, no one can really expect them to just sit and wait to be destroyed. Obviously the people who live in Israel believe they have a right to fight for their survival regardless of how much the world may hate them.
