> Nobody outside of America and Israel were ever remotely bothered by Iran

That is not true. Saudi Arabia has been fighting a proxy war with them for years. The EU and Uk have had sanctions on them for years. Lots of people care about their treatment of religious minorities, gays and women.

Europe had sanctions to avoid the American sanctions on places that didn't have sanctions, they'd rather trade with America than with Iran, but they don't actually care themselves.

When did the US threaten sanctions on western Europe?

Much of Europe has a problem with Russia and Iran is an ally of Russia. They supply each other with weapons.

I'm really not sure which country you're talking about here. Saudi Arabia? Because Saudi Arabia is even worse than Iran in this respect but they're not being bombed. Should they be bombed?

I am aware of that. Its a list and those people are a different item to Saudi Arabia. I mean people in lots of countries as a counter example to 'nobody'
