Nuke deal with Iran coming soon?

[KevinTheOmnivore]

We already reward other nations who build bombs they're not supposed to have, so to start with Iran would be kind of pointless. We also sell plenty of weapons worldwide to some shitty regimes.

In a way, Iran is right. We are in no position to tell anybody who should and shouldn't have nukes. We have made it pretty obvious through our own foreign policy that nations with the nukes fall under less scrutiny than those who actually have them. We set that standard, not them. It makes absolute sense for them to pursue the bomb.

That being said, the threat of a nuclear armed Iran should be taken seriously. They support terrorism, and pose a threat to our allies. However, I think Iran could be a fantastic partner in the Middle East, despite the fact that they elected a douche bag. I think good relations with free nations is what will aid Iran rather than the opposite.
