All this war is proving is that Iran was incredibly restrained for the last half a century and that they would have been smarter to actually develop nuclear weapons because then the USA and Israel might be forced to just leave them the fuck alone.
They have been trying to develop nuclear weapons. It’s not easy.
The rest of the world doesn’t want to just leave a terrorist “death to our enemies” country alone. They need to be stopped and kept in check.
We are the terrorists, not them.
We definitely aren’t.
