Thanks for pointing this out. I hear people say this over and over, if Iran only had nukes it would be safe to continue propagating terrorism as it has been doing. It’s obviously wrong, as you point out. Russia has nukes. India has nukes. Having nuclear weapons doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want, if anything it brings a higher level of scrutiny. A nuclear Iran would be a serious problem for many and that’s why it’s so critical to make sure that doesn’t happen, not just for Israel but the entire planet.

There's only one country that has repeatedly attacked its neighbors and has decided to occupy and seize land from two of them while actively calling for and carrying out strikes in many others all in the last two years.

It ain't Iran.

Maybe it is scale.

Maybe Nukes do not prevent terrorism, or gorilla warfare.

Having Nukes would prevent a large strike from another state, like what US just did.

Nobody is doing this large scale of bombing on any of the nuclear powers.
