13. I do think they are sadly mistaken in pursuing that 'wish'...

for the very reasons you raise. The level of underestimating the Iranian regime's capability to fight back is astounding. They see these attacks by Israel and the US as existential threats to their very existence so they will use everything they have to ensure that does not happen

Yes, the Iranian regime is appalling and my fervent wish is for the Iranian people can make the changes they so desperately want and we do know that attempts for regime change from outside the country fail.

Iran was adhering to the agreement they signed on to with President Obama so their pursuit of nuclear capabilities are not coming from an ideology but, rather, a perceived need to protect themselves from attack, imo.

This is a very dangerous time globally thanks to bibi and trump.
