The US position with Iran has LITERALLY NOTHING to do with gener lines, or causalities or export of terrorism.
The allies that the US works with to contain Iran are worse in every single category you mention. Claiming the moral high ground over Iran is embracing and only works for people who don't have a clue about the middle east.
Iran has complied with an international process according to international law after being bullied by the US when the US claims were never true. Iran never had nuclear weapons, they never had a program to build nuclear weapons and pretty much everybody including US spy agencies agree with that.
After this international process, the US fucked all its allies, went against everything they had worked towards. Just to hit Iran with more sanctions that were originally about nuclear issues but now they have dropped that pretense.
Iran is not a good country, but the US and allies does worse quite often and consistently and Iran has very real and legitimate complaints about how they were treated since 1979.
- strictnein 8y ago"treated since 1979" - the US should have treated them well while holding American hostages? Is that what you're claiming here? It has to do with all the things I've stated. And stating that "Iran never had a program to build nuclear weapons" is just nonsensical. They may no longer be pursuing it, but you're conflating many things. > "Iran and six world powers known as the P5+1 (China, France, Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States) reached a historic nuclear deal on July 14, 2015 ... Prior to that, Iran had been engaged in efforts to acquire the capability to build nuclear weapons for more than two decades." https://www.armscontrol.org/factsheet/Timeline-of-Nuclear-Diplomacy-With-Iran https://www.armscontrol.org/factsheet/Timeline-of-Nuclear-Di...

They may no longer be pursuing it, but you're conflating many things. No. I am not. Iran never had nuclear weapons program. That is a fact. At the very most they had a program that did some basic research to understand how you would even build a bomb, far away from what we would consider a nuclear weapons program. > https://www.armscontrol.org https://www.armscontrol.org The fact is that Iran didn't want to an enrichment program, they asked France to do it for them, with all enriched uranium being controlled by France and in full view of international supervision. It was the US who blocked this move by France and did not allow that to happen. Only then did Iran start to invest in enrichment facilities. The ACA is a lobby group that spreads their point of view as fact.
