This is a very naive take. It’s on par with the Aztecs thinking that Spain 5000 miles across the ocean has nothing to do with them. Or the USA making the same mistake again in the early days of WWII.

The IRGC has literally been calling for “death to America”, directly and through its armed proxies for decades, and have acted on that by killing Americans.

They are actively conducting nuclear weapons research and development.

Do you think Iranians are not smart enough to be able to create a nuclear weapon?
