I'm finding it hard to find concise info on what's been going on in/around Iran. Can anyone throw a brief timeline of events for me? Pretty pretty please?

Edi: thanks for all the comments and answers, appreciate it!

Here we have Israel, a bully and murderer who has realised that no-one is willing to do anything to stop its rampages. Israel doesn't like Palestine. Israel doesn't like Lebanon. Israel doesn't like Iran. Never has. Probably never will.

Israel, overconfident, backed by the US, and with a stockpile of bombs just sitting there doing nothing, decides that this would be a perfect time to attack anyone and everyone else it doesn't like. What were those other two countries on the list again? Oh yeah. Lebanon and Iran.

What's that, Iran's pretty big and people might take more notice? Got to have a not at all flimsy excuse! How about "weapons of mass destruction"! That worked fine when the US wanted to go into Iraq. Might as well get some use out of it. We won't use that phrase though, that would be too obvious.

So "Iran has nukes. Honest, guv. Got to blow them up before they do that to us. Definitely."
