We don't use it because we don't have to but we would if we needed to.

- ipaddr 5y agoNo that would not make sense from an American perspective. You would try to stop an enemy from getting a weapon that could kill many American or allies and cause massive environmental issues for the planet. Plus Iran gives money to group who perform terror. You may not think that is fair. Everyone should have equal amounts of geopolitical power but it doesn't reflect reality. If Iran took over the US their version of fair would be very different from yours.
