> When the choice is "let Iran have nukes" or "bomb Iran", you bomb Iran every time.

Where's the proof that Iran has, or is even remotely close to having, nukes? I mean, actual proof, not the kind of "proof" that led us to invade Iraq in '03.

> I'm not at all mad at the US government for deciding to get rid of Iran's regime.

Ah, you're one of those people. You probably thought "Team America: World Police" was an instruction manual, and not satire, yeah?

Iran having nukes is unsubstantiated. I also don’t think they wanted to have nukes. But they also enriched Uranium up to 60% according to IAEA which has no non-military use. They perhaps wanted to use that as leverage in negotiations which turned out to be not much of a deterrence.
