> Return them to stone age until the leadership becomes reasonable.

Worth reflecting on this sentence. What is "reasonable" supposed to entail here?

ETA: "Become secular" is a wild demand from theocratic regime that wants to "Kill Amalek and Build the Third Temple".

Give away the enriched uranium, become secular.

Edit: Sometimes the only answer to the weaker side claiming that something is impossible is Vae Victis. I am sure that there are enough powerful people in Iran that wouldn't mind secular state if they are the one to lead it. It is not as if their kids are not wild partying in europe anyway.
