Rattling the Nuclear Cage: India, Pakistan, Israel, Iran and the US
Robert Fisk | counterpunch.org | 2019-08-12

I saw their gas-gangrene wounds with my own eyes in the late 1980s and they reminded me of the Hiroshima snapshots. The Iranians really do know the effects of "weapons of mass destruction".
