| > Yes it did give up the nuclear program with respect to it being a weapon's program, this is what every expert agrees with. Iran's nuclear program has essentially always been a weapons program, their public statements about their nuclear program being only for peaceful purposes have never been true. > False, they were very clear they would give it up. Are you at all aware of what Iran has been saying through its diplomatic channels? Listen to what the neutral parties are saying, it's clear on this. Just listen to the statements Iranian officials have made in regards to giving up enrichment[0], their position has been that they will never give it up. > Hamas had one lever to pull: hostages. Hamas holding hostages wasn't helping their position. > stop the killing of at the time exceeding 100 thousand civilians (admitted by Israel itself) When has Israel admitted this? > Iran set-up the deal, US tore its own deal apart and bombed it. Do you think these are parties to make another deal with, to give up any leverage you still have in the hope they won't reneg later and leave you worse off? Don't be silly. I think tearing up the deal was probably a bad idea, but Iran didn't stop building ballistic missiles or funding proxies either so it's not like the deal stopped their hostile actions entirely. > As have Israel and the US, does it warrant a strike on these countries? Don't be ridiculous, it's rhetoric to the base. What matters is policy. Israel and the US have never advocated for the destruction of Iran in the way Iran advocates for the destruction of Israel. > Israel has expanded its borders, Iran hasn't. Israel's border situation is a huge mess, but that's largely due to Palestinians refusing to in good faith negotiate a peace deal with Israel that would actually establish proper boarders. What does that have to do with Iran? > Israel has bombed Iran and assasinated its leadership, the reverse isn't true. Just because Iran doesn't have that capability doesn't mean they wouldn't if they did. [0] https://english.alarabiya.net/News/middle-east/2026/02/08/ir... |
