here’s why a preemptive strike on iran’s nuclear infrastructure is not only a justified, but necessary, act of defense to prevent an irreversible threat:

1. the iranian regime has explicitly and repeatedly called for the destruction of israel and the united states

2. the regime is actively developing nuclear weapons capabilities

3. nuclear weapons would give the regime irreversible destructive power

4. the regime’s stated intentions, combined with such power, pose an existential threat

5. deterrence is ineffective once a hostile actor gains nuclear capability

6. a preemptive strike can materially delay or disable this capability

remember when obama put a deal in place and then one of the first things trump did was to nullify it? good time

for sure

but what other outcome is there?

i view diplomacy with iran as wishful thinking

i'm with you and believe we've arrived at the most likely outcome. all i'm saying is, the chance for another outcome was basically quashed when trump backed out of the existing deal because ego

who cares?

iran’s regime has openly called for the destruction of american and israel for decades

i don’ believe that intent changed during the deal, nor has it changed now - a piece of paper doesn’t undo genocidal ideology

the real question is simple:

if a regime has clearly stated its intent to wipe you out, do you wait and hope they don’t act? or do you act before they can?

i support the latter
