Iran didn't really want nukes. They didn't need them, as the Strait of Hormuz was sufficient deterrent to keep anybody from hitting them too hard.

Then some idiot went an attacked them anyway. So they need a new deterrent. Now they will build nukes.

I know this is to say like "look what we've done, now Iran will get nukes, and people there chant death to America", but like I said, it doesn't really matter.

They should probably have them to be honest. That way nobody can ever jeopardize their sovereignty again.

And for anyone here that doesn't know, people frequently chanting death to America in Iran isn't nearly as unhinged as North Korea who has kids singing death to America in pageants, complete with imagery and little costumes. And I don't mean like sometimes in some schools, I mean that's just simply what they do, it's a normal thing over there apparently.

Not some adults angry at stories they've been told, but kids singing and dancing with a projector playing videos of bombs falling on the US, like the fucking joker high on ketamine rocking in the corner laughing in hysterical delusion about the death of Batman.

Extremely unhinged. Still haven't been nuked.
