      Is it an Israeli line? I don’t doubt that Israel says it, but it seems to me like Iran developing nukes is a pretty rational response to America ditching the agreement. I certainly don’t like a government like Iran’s having those weapons, but it’s very understandable for it to want them and the country has the capacity to make it happen

        Yes it’s an Israeli line. (This was from like 20 years ago.)

          Doesn’t that turn of phrase imply that it’s untrue (or at least misrepresentative) though? It’s not meaningfully “an Israeli line” if it’s actually just true

        1. It is not about you
        2. Israel is worse and has nuclear weapons, the US already used them twice and Ted Cruz and other US politicians regularly threatens to nuke the Middle East
        3. Countries in the region have a right to protect themselves from foreign powers

          1 - I didn’t say it was? I’m allowed to express an opinion without expecting the world to conform to it

          2 - Disliking Iran’s government doesn’t imply liking opposed governments

          3 - They do, I agree
