I just don't understand this whole bandwagon feel good, Iran is our buddy now nonsesne.
They're not. In all honesty they're really no different than the Saudis. Saudi royals placate their religious nutters too stay in power, and Iran is ran by religious nutters. It's like having to choose between shooting yourself in the left nut, or punching yourself in the right nut. Either way, the outcome sucks and it's painful, yet one choice is a little less painful.
Iran has no incentive to pivot towards the US, they've been bargaining with the upper hand this whole time. Them getting a nuke is a inevitability. It's going to happen, and they know nothing will be done about it. All they have to look at North Korea as proof of this fact.

Well......
(1) Netanyahu is throwing a temper tantrum.
(2) Iranian hardliners are throwing a temper tantrum.
(3) republicans are throwing a temper tantrum.
This has all indicia of a good deal.

i would think that iran wants nukes, but they don't have the US or even Israel's names on them (even if they say that's who it's for). it's for the threats on their doorstep and across the gulf, pakistan (who has nukes) and saudi arabia (who has been accused of developing them... and of financing pakistan's nuclear arsenal)
