Reply to comment by 3dio in Iran acknowledges accusation it enriched uranium to 84% by bildo72

First, a treaty is only good until a counterparty pulls out, of said treaty. Perhaps message DJT on TruthSocial and ask why he unilaterally pulled out of the nuclear agreement with Iran.

Why shouldn't Iran be able to defend itself against a foreign invader? Having a nuclear weapon has been demonstrated on the world stage to be a quality deterrent to foreign invasion- just ask North Korea.

You might also ask Ukraine about nuclear deterrence. They gave up their weapons after the fall of the USSR, and signed a treaty with the successor to the USSR. The successor to the USSR pulled out of the treaty decades later. Ukraine has since been invaded by the successor to the USSR.

Which nuclear capable states have been invaded by a foreign state since 1946?

You know how many countries there are without nukes that aren't getting invaded? Lots. No one wants to invade iran, the US could have done it decades ago during the revolution, but they didn't. But yea, let's also let Niue have nukes, so that Niue doesn't get invaded by Tonga.

Revisionist history! The US propped up the Shah of Iran. Go back and read about the revolution as it’s clear to me there’s much you are ignorant about.

Radicalization of Iran was caused directly by the USA— in a similar way that the USA was responsible for Osama bin Laden
