while Israel has nukes, and is subject to MAD, there's a ton of debate and uncertainty about how much Iran cares for MAD when they finish their nukes

thats most of the reason why people are worried about them rn if you cant tell

    It's a good thing that Israel and the US did everything they could to get Iran to decide not to make nukes instead of antagonizing the poop out of them.... Oh wait.

    The government of Iran supports terrorism across the Middle East, including the Triple-H of terrorism which they term the "Axis of Resistance". Hezbolla, Houthis, and of course Hamas, which brutally massacred over a thousand people and took hundreds hostage forcing a ground war in a densely populated area so they could make genocide propaganda. Hezbollah was plotting to do something similar and the Hotuthis would if they had the capability. Also Iran has people regularly chanting "death to Israel, death to America" and that kind of rhetoric is spreading into the west, and we've already seen all of this result in violence in cities like Boulder, CO. So that regime starts enriching enriching uranium in the amounts needed to build a nuclear device, according to the UN. And they publicly announce they're going to start testing missiles capable of delivering a nuclear warhead to Israel.

    But sure, that's not antagonizing at all!

    It's the internet posts that's REALLY antagonizing!

    I never said Iran was good. Just that, if your concerned about them getting nukes, the US and Israel made the wrong move multiple times. Guaranteeing either they get nukes or war with Iran. A war that only Netanyahu wants so he can stay in power.

    This will further destabilize the area and will probably result in Iran getting many allies.

    Big cost, no gain for the west.

    A stopped clock is right twice a day. Netanyahu is an asshole, and Trump is an incompetent idiot. But Iran routinely proclaims they want to wipe Israel off the map. It's not controversial to say Iran would be an existential threat to Israel if they had the capability, they themselves say they want to be an existential threat to Israel all of the time.

    When authoritarian assholes tell me who they are, I believe them. So I believe Iran's Ayatollah regime when they say they want to be an existential threat to Israel. So it would be super bad if they get nukes and there's indication from the UN that they're trying to build nukes. So they gotta go.

    It's not just Trump and Netanyahu that are idiots it seems the leadership of Iran are also idiots. Constantly going on about wanting to wipe out Israel while not being all that secretive with their nuclear program... what did they expect to happen?

    And despite the incompetence from the likes of Netanyahu and Trump, it seems the IDF isn't incompetent and are methodically dismantling Iran's launch capabilities and their nuclear capabilities. Fordo is going to be tricky, but if Trump doesn't drop the bunker buster on it, they can probably land some special forces to deal with that site.
