>>508473059 (OP)Iran basically has to do this. Everyone knows if you have the N-word then no one can fuck with you.
Either Iran is making nukes for its survival, or it wasn't and Israel will lie about it to keep them down. Regardless, Iran has to fight otherwise it's over.
If they don't do everything in their power to push back then they have no chance. It's like saying either we throw everything we have and get allies to come to our aid for 20%+ survival or 0% if we just sit back and take it.
I don't blame them one bit for not negotiating with the US, because you are basically negotiating with Israel who wants you dead anyways.
