It's even worse if you consider what rational options the mullahs have. Yes, they are a murderous dictatorship and enemies of US - no question about that. But they did nothing to provoke this particular attack and they still got bombed.

Backing off without first inflicting severe pain is just not an option in this situation. It would be an invitation to get bombed at will.

they were making a nuke, plenty of details there - and no one wants another NK situation in the world.

Btw, Iran with conventional missiles struck its Arab neighbors.

After Trump leaves office the next President will still hate Iran irregardless of political party.

North Korea, famous for attacking with nukes. Once again the only nation that has ever used nukes on another nation is the United States. If anything it is the United States that should be disarmed because there is already precedent that they will use them. Everyone else developed the bomb because of the United States having it and having a monopoly on destroying any city with a single bomb.

This is weak logic - you know darn well how difficult and costly the battle of the pacific would have been on both sides without the Nukes.

Iran is disliked by all their Arab neighbors besides Qatar.

Is NK really a success? Are they doing well? You plan to hedge long run the world needs another poorly developed pariah state with 90 million people doing suboptimal?

Iranian leadership was fine btw dying for Martyrdom. So let’s give a strongly theological government happy with Martyrdom a nuke. Because they won’t care about the consequences.

You might know technology but you are clueless about the world. Every Iranian not in Iran hates Iran.
