Iran leaders often talk about wiping Israel off the map. Maybe they wouldn't do that if they got nukes but why risk it? Assured mutual destruction only deters bad actors who r rational and Iran's religious fanatics aren't necessarily rational. Iran with nukes would destabilize everything and risk proliferation.
Israel striking Iran was justifiable

Israel has not nuked Iran to my knowledge.

Evolution's goal is to wipe out all Religious people.

The US was working with Iran to come to a nuclear agreement but Satanyahu thought it was a better idea to strike Iran.
No, it wasn't justifiable.

It does annoy me that there is no rationality left in people about so many subjects including this one.
They go from believing whatever the bush admin tells them to saying nothing is a threat. I've seen it like 50 times recently "Iran isn't US problem, not a threat to us, their missiles can't reach us."
That is what I would consider, in terms of military understanding, "full retard". I wish these people would not go full retard.
Iran is a state which has continuously used proxy paramilitary groups for the last forty years.
The idea that they wouldn't give some of their nuclear weapons to these terrorist cells and then act innocent is suicidally naive. The idea that the west who cannot keep out millions of illegal migrants could stop something that can fit inside the smaller shipping container is absurd.
We don't need to occupy the country or spew some bullshit about nation building to stop them from building a nuclear weapon.

Iran was thwarting a deal and looked like they weren't serious about it. But you are right they probably could have gave it a bit more time before attacking

Dont give those ideas to US enemies. USA is already in a terrible position now.
Yes, Brig. Gen. Hossein Salami was quoted by Iranian news outlets as saying, “Our strategy is to erase Israel from the global political map. And it seems that, considering the evil that Israel is doing, it is bringing itself closer to that.”
He added: “We announce that if Israel does anything to start a new war, it will obviously be the war that will end with its elimination, and the occupied territories will be returned. The Israelis will not have even a cemetery in Palestine to bury their own corpses.”

Well, he is dead now.

They've been negotiating for what 20 years or something. Iran still enriching uranium to near weapons grade. They will keep doing it probably.
The president went on to urge Iran to reach a deal.
“Iran should have listened to me when I said — you know, I gave them, I don’t know if you know but I gave them a 60-day warning and today is day 61,” he told CNN
“Iran should have listened to me when I said — you know, I gave them, I don’t know if you know but I gave them a 60-day warning and today is day 61,” he told CNN
Also not long ago The UN said that Iran was in violation of nonproliferation rules. Iran simply responded by saying they were ramping up their nuclear program even more
You know Iran's playing a dangerous game when the corresponding Wikipedia entry on their war against Israel isn't slanted against the latter...

Israel has nuclear weapons too.
Israel’s UN envoy Danny Danon cast its attack on Iran’s nuclear sites as “an act of national preservation”, claiming Iran was days away from producing enough fissile material for multiple bombs.
“This operation was carried out because the alternative was unthinkable,” said Danon. “How long did the world expect us to wait? Until they assemble the bomb? Until they mount it on a Shahab missile? Until it is en route to Tel Aviv or Jerusalem?”

Not everyone can be trusted with nukes. In the real world, some people r simply bad or evil. This doesn't just affect Israel. Nuclear proliferation affects everyone

Like Israel, yes.
Many of the concerns over Iran's nuclear programme arise from its stockpiling of highly enriched uranium (HEU) that has been enriched up to 60 per cent, far beyond the level needed to generate civil nuclear power and a relatively short hop to the level needed to start building a bomb

@LucyStarfire
Yes israel is evil and genocidal but they r rational and simply want to exist. Iran doesn't want israel to exist and repeatedly states that. Plus one person having and not deserving nukes doesn't justify even worse people from having them

True, and there is also the glaring fact that if any country in the world doesn't need electrical energy its one that has 17% of the world's natural gas and 12% of its oil.
Also they have vast highland watersheds which are just begging civil engineers "Please, dam me".
Oh would you look at that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_dams_and_reservoirs_in_Iran
"We want nuclear power" is such a thin excuse that I wonder why they even bother.
If Iran won't allow constant inspection of its nuclear energy production, fuck em. There's no good reason not to allow it unless their intentions are bad. Even Obamas deal where inspectors were allowed foe 15 years on exchange for financial benefit was a terrible idea. Obama was my favorite president but he was wrong about that. That deal would have simply strengthened Iran then they'd have an opportunity to build nukes after the deal when there's no good excuse to not to keep inspectors

If the idea was to pay them to make the problem go away, pay them in solar panels. Still not fair, but at least the only thing they can use them for are what they claim to want.

I dont know either. Electricity obviously isnt it because they get nearly all of it from oil and natural gas. Maybe the whole thing is to just cause trouble and problems. Maybe it helps maintain internal stability by antagonizing external threats. (ie internal revolution threat is reduced when the people fear external powers)

Same old human stupidity.
All based upon nonsense.
Not much changes.
If at all.
Upwards of 30 Nations around the globe experiencing some level of armed conflict or civil unrest.
The U.S. to name but one.
40000 years and still haven't learned.

No one knows if Iran would use nukes if they developed them. They are not as mad as you think they are, although they will be mad now that Israel has made it a matter of their survival.
