They don't need it though. Our top brass knew this war is stupid twenty years ago.
Without nukes we'll lose this war and badly.
Excuse us of being unsympathetic to the greatest state sponser of terrorism in history.
The Muslim country all other Muslim countries love to hate.
The only real theocracy left in the world.
Wannabe North Korea.
The country that killed 30,000 progressive protestors in a few days.
"The country that killed 30,000 progressive protestors in a few days."
Ya, if you believe this you're poorly informed. Where does this number come from? Who sourced it? What is their relationship to Western powers? How are they able to count so many Iranians dying in dungeons so well? How about the logistics of killing 30 000 people?
BS American propaganda. Kuwaiti babies redux.
Iranian progressives have one thing that unites them: they remember that the CIA deposed the only democratically elected, progressive, president and installed a brutally repressive "Shah". [1]
"The only real theocracy left in the world."
That would have to include Israel, an apartheid state along religious lines where the Chief Rabbinate decides who can get married.
"the greatest state sponsor of terrorism in history."
Not according to the State Department; Iran and proxies don't crack the top 10. Sunnis (ISIS, Hamas, Muslim Brotherhood, etc) loath Shia and are not coordinated by Iran.
"The Muslim country all other Muslim countries love to hate."
Nope, only Sunni Gulf states hate Iran. Mostly because their rulers are colonial mandarins; the best example is Bahrain, a majority Shia population ruled by foreign Sunni elite installed by the UK 100 years ago. The native Bahrainis loath their rulers.
"Wannabe North Korea."
Say what you will about N. Korea, it isn't getting attacked though.
[1] Shah in quotes because, as a monarchist myself, the deposed, CIA installed, Pahvali was the son of a deposed peasant and the father of a traitor (something, to be fair, the other two Pahlavis weren't).
We live in completely different realities.
>Where does this number come from?
The Iranian Ministry of Health lol
> logistics of killing 30,000 people?
Guns
> apartheid state
Arab citizens of Israel have full rights. Unless you deny Palestinian statehood.
> Chief Rabbinate decides who can get married.
Only if Jewish.
> Don't crack the top ten
"Currently there are four countries designated under these authorities: Cuba, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea), Iran, and Syria."

Syria and cuba should no longer count as they've collapsed
Nope all Sunni dislike them
