    Ironically, attacking someone “preemptively” because you think they’re about to develop nukes really just proves to those being attacked that they need nukes, because you won’t respect their sovereignty without MAD. I think it’s very clear to anyone with eyes and half a brain that the US+Israel wouldn’t have attacked Iran if it could result in Tel Aviv being glassed. Thus, the only logical conclusion from Irans side must be that they need to work even harder to develop nukes if they want the US+Israel to stop bombing them “preemptively” once a year or so.

      ‘Their sovereignty’ in this case being a religious elite of around 5% that holds the rest of the people as their cattle.

      Sure from their pov they ‘need’ those nukes, but unless you’re on their side it’s a very good thing if they don’t get them
