I am a little confused. Is bombing a sovereign country under far-fetched excuse considered ok or not today?

For the world I want to live in it is not. Seems surreal but maybe it’s not that world anymore, and I fear it will get worse.

What is far fetched about preventing Iran from developing a nuclear weapon?

Why not take moral upper hand and first destroy all of your own nuclear weapons?

Lack of nuclear weapon.

You can’t prevent them from developing a nuclear weapon if you wait until they have it.

They were enriching uranium near weapons-grade levels. What more evidence do you need without seeing an actual assembled nuclear weapon?

I mean do you think the Iranian government is more incentivised to build a nuclear weapon before or after??

They've been pursuing nuclear weapons for decades, and bit by bit getting closer. A nuclear armed Iran would result in the rest of the middle east - most of which considers Iran a serious enemy - to pursue their own nuclear weapons program.

The goal was to stop their progress, not reduce/increase incentives.

There is nothing far-fetched about countering Iran's nuclear ambitions: they have been actively and blatantly pursuing it for decades.

A nuclear armed Iran would quickly lead much of the middle east to pursue their own nuclear weapons programs to counter Iran: in that part of the world, Iran is considered a very serious enemy.
