They definitely are now
Before they wanted to have the capability of developing a nuke as a deterrent so Israel and the US wouldn’t do to them what they did to Iraq, Libya, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen.
Gaddafi gave up their nuclear weapons program and look at what they did to him.
Iran is not dumb. Without a nuclear deterrent they are as good as cooked.
Israel wants total control and domination of the region. Iran is the last one standing
Fair point. So honestly - what path forward do you see?

Be more specific please. Israel invented Hamas? Is that it? Bibi invented radical Islamism?
Yes, Ron Paul informed us of this many years ago.

Didn’t know that.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m describe myself as libertarian, even anarcho capitalist on a good day. It just doesn’t mean I can’t distinguish peaceful societies from non peaceful ones.
"Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian State has to support bolstering Hamas & transferring money to Hamas. This is part of our strategy to isolate the Palestinians in Gaza from the Palestinians in the West Bank. It's impossible to reach an agreement with them, everyone knows this, but we control the height of the flame."

Ok. So Bibi indeed invented radical Islamism. Now we found who to blame.
It’s not that simple, but Bibi is not a good actor.
Consider listening to Nick in general, but the last 2 shows are very informative on the current war
