    “Iran now knows without doubt it needs a nuclear weapon to survive, and will probably threaten the Strait of Hormuz in perpetuity,” the Nato source added.

    This is Trump’s legacy. There’s no way to undo this. No amount of diplomacy or military action will ever be able to change their minds after what the US has done. It doesn’t matter who gets voted into office for the next 30 years. The Iranians won’t forget this.

      I think this was the point. Why else do you bomb a school? Hurting kids and ruining families creates generational rage, cries for vengeance, retaliation, and thus a constant little war that can go on in perpetuity. (To the delight of oil and defense industries.)

      I don’t think they thought it through though, they just picked a recipe from “Republican Fascist Empire Playbook” and ran with it.

      Iran going all in on rushing a working nuke sounds like an outcome they were too short-sighted and stupid to consider the ramifications of.

      And not just the Iranians. Every regime everywhere has taken note and learned the lesson: you’re not safe from the US without nukes.

      Trumps legacy will be a world armed to the teeth with nuclear weapons. And hence, the unavoidable nuclear war that will result in the fullness of time.

        And not just the Iranians. Every regime everywhere has taken note and learned the lesson: you’re not safe… without nukes.

        See Ukraine as well. Gave up their nukes for guarantees they would not be attacked. Any country with the means to develop the bomb and aren’t are not paying attention

        If only someone had warned everyone that trump is a malignant narcissist moron who wasn’t equipped to run a 7/11.

      Nothing indicate that Iran will remove Ali Khamenei religious decree. Seems to me like an excuse to keep iran as a potentisl threat forever.
