If i were Iran id be seriously rethinking that right now tho. If the US is threatening nukes that would just make me want to make one now. I wouldn’t be surprised if we see an Iranian nuclear test, and an announcement that they’ve got a couple ready to go within the next few weeks or months.
As an atheist I do see a few advantages of a theocracy. The Khomeini actually deeply believes that weapons of mass destruction is deeply wrong and a sin and against the will of god. They’ve experienced chemical warfare in the US backed Iraq-Iran war.
I mean i don’t think you need religion to think that way lol. I think most people would agree. But if the evil empire has them and the only way to not have them be used on you is to have your own… you really don’t get a choice in the matter.
