Rather than blow up their country to the point we get another Taliban-run-Afghanistan down the line, we should lift Iranian sanctions, help them create safe nuclear energy, disband some of our neighboring bases, and show a genuine goodwill attitude towards keeping lasting peace in the region.
I say give every country nukes. Then either no one will go to war, or WW3 will give us a much-needed humbling.
