Yes. The Iran situation has been f’ed up since 1954, or even before. But the ayatollahs are every bit as bad as the worst western politician. The people of Iran DO NOT want this theocracy clamping down on them any more than you would. It’s easy to decamp to New Zealand or Oz or wherever you live and pontificate on the US or Iran or Iraq, but you don’t live there. You live in the safest place on earth. And yes, US Imperialism is really fucked. But given the present situation, what do you think the US should do? You criticize but you don’t offer any alternatives. What do you think happens when Iran has nukes? You think that has a happy ending?!
The reasonable option would be to lift all the sanctions on Iran and say, "Sorry, we had an idiot as president, but now things changed, so please accept our sincere apologies and can we get back to the deal?"
But you and I know it would never happen.
Don't act like you care about Iranian people. If you did, you would have been screaming for lifting the sanctions that choke Iran and are responsible for deaths of tens, if not hundreds of thousands of Iranian people. And that is what Caitlin offers as alternative. What is it that you offer?
What happens if Iran had nukes? That is pretty obvious, really - Iran would have nukes and it will be even harder for US to attack Iran. That is it.
You have no idea where I live and Caitlin does not live in the safest place in the world. US intelligence assessments have said for several years that Iran has had no nuclear weapons program since 2003 at the latest. Khamenei doesn't want them. He stated in a fatwa that they're un-Islamic. BTW, I get my information by reading the news. You must get yours from ynet.

Oh that is easy what US should do now.

Let bygones be bygones then. That’s easy.
