I understand Iran is a headache to Israel, but did it have to be an enemy of USA? Isn't Iran's ambition, and its proxies, are all regional in nature? Have they ever attempted to harm an american living in America? Israel has led an amazingly succesful campaign in presenting their problems (often arising out of their territorial ambitions) as a problem for the entire west. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The Netherlands and Germany both produce highly enriched uranium despite not having nuclear weapons programs. 60% enrichment is insufficient for use in nuclear weapons. Iran's enriched uranium is its main bargaining chip in the diplomatic negotiations that the US walked away from. Iran was assessed by the US intelligence community to not be developing nuclear weapons. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Iran is the largest state sponsor of terrorist groups. The key word being “state”. There are many well known terrorist groups that are not sponsored by Iran. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Iran was willing to "come to a diplomatic negotiation" before Israel pre-emptively and unilaterally attacked. In fact, Iran and the US had found a diplomatic solution before Trump tore it up and promised to get a better deal (and then repeatedly failed to do so). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Iran did come to a diplomatic solution: the JCPOA [0]. Unfortunately, it was Obama who did it, so Trump tore it up in his first term. Why would Iran believe that any diplomatic outcome is meaningful?

Why must we stop Iran's terrorism? Their terrorism is directed at Israel, not America. We can in fact just as easily support Iran's attacks against Israel. No reason to pick either side. Right now the American people are coming to the consensus that Israel are the bad guys. Everybody under 50 already recognizes that, purely based on the thousands of Palestinian toddlers they see on Instagram that Israel kills and injures (the popular post today on Instagram is of a toddler with his legs severed). And the people over 50 will eventually die off, causing Israel's base of support to disappear. There is no hope of Israel's permanent existence. We should remove our support for Israel immediately and prepare for the long term. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
