No doubt Iran is bad too, the death warrant on Salman Rushdie is very clear evidence of that.

The USs actions in world war two are an odd thing to bring up in this context. It was a radically different set of circumstances, 80 years ago, and none of the people involved are alive anymore.
It's entirely irrelevant.

May as well point out that the US was the driver for the creation of those watchdog groups and is a leading force in nuclear disarmament. It's just as relevant to if Iran has a nuclear weapons program or Israels justification for attacking.

Iranian opposition to US strategic interests in the region giving the US a strong motivation to let anything that makes them weaker happen is a perfectly good thing to mention.

It is pretty well established that the levels that they have enriched their uranium is above that deemed for "civilian use". They have a highly scrutinized nuclear program, and we have a lot of information available to us about it.

Pakistan is the other lone stander that absolutely refuses to recognize Israel and also happens to have nukes that can reach Israel, yet they've done jack on that sentiment, despite the ISI having a history of outplaying Mossad.

Iran wants nukes for the same reason everyone else has nukes. It's just a gg ez ace up your sleeve that can be utilized to prevent this exact conventional warfare escalation by threatening to use your nukes, which is exactly what Israel does to the other surrounding arab states. Moreover it would be dumb to nuke Israel when they keep daydreaming about reconquering the holy land, which would be impossible if its covered in radiation.

Pakistan and India's LoC is a massive militarized flashpoint that imo suprasses the DMZ, yet overtime they have a fight, it over after a few days when they nuke threat comes out and everyone signs a ceasefire agreement no questions asked.

Iran wants the same deal so they can be left alone to run their authoritarian regime in peace lol.

if we look at history then israel is a existential threat for not just all its neighbour but the entire humanity.

you do realize that apart from bombing school full of kids and sniping pregnant women, israel also supplies spyware and weapon to far worse countries than iran and even some of the most violent drug cartels of the world ? and they do so with full support of cia because they have hijacked both parties using the “aid” we give them.

Why does Iran want total annihilation of Israel?

The fact they have a reward for the death of Salman Rushdie is enough for me to know they are criminally insane.

Like WTF! Death penalty for writing a book?

The Iranian government cannot be trusted. But it's the same for Israel. They deserve each other.

Israel should be annihilated if the occupiers refuse to leave.

The world would be a better place.

Don't Israel realize that China won't accept the USA having another puppet regime that will give them more natural resources and economic power ?

Hmm, you make good points.

You might be forgetting the part about about the Iranian regime being a violent, repressive theocracy that jails, tortures, and executes dissenters, treats women like state property, rigs every election, and bankrolls terrorism just to cling to power

One side is a signatory to a nuclear nonproliferation agreement who is trying to create a nuclear energy program for civilian energy, under watchdog guidance for 40+ years.

In a confidential report seen by the BBC, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said Iran now possesses over 400kg of uranium enriched to 60% purity - well above the level used for civilian purposes and close to weapons grade, and a near 50% increase in three months.

You can support Iran, their right to nuclear weapons (then deal with the inevitable proliferation to SA), right to self defense and even the influence it seeks as the leader of the middle east, but please don't be naive or play others for fools.
