The current Iranian regime is nothing short of evil though. They would be worse than the Nazi if they had the resources to invest in their plans. We're just lucky they're dirt poor and can't afford any of their dark fantasies of wiping out all the jews and oppressing all the women. This is extremely obvious, the way they dress, the things they say, and the stuff they have done all point to them wanting to destroy other nations. I'm obviously talking about their regime and not the people, but they literally tell us there is no way they will reconcile anything with infidels, especially anyone who is friendly with Israel. Until that regime changes their rhetoric, the smart thing to do is to keep them in check. The dumb thing to do is think they will be friendly with us when they have declared their hatred for ages.
