ELI5 Can someone explain the nuke US and Israel problem with having Iran have them? Its their country so they got uranium who are we to tell how they can use it? - Lemmy.World

Case In point I own 10 acres of land in the USA and find the world biggest oil reserve or the world biggest Uranium reserve and I really really hate Britain for whatever reason you can pick. Does that give the UK to enter and bomb my 10 acres back to the stone age?

Iran has consistently professed a goal of eradicating israel. Nuclear weapons are the method.

If you loudly declared that you wanted to genocide the British, and started developing nuclear weapons, it wouldn’t be too long before you were prevented from doing so.

Then why tear up a deal that would’ve kept them from acquiring nukes?
So you have a pretext to start a war with them.
