They absolutely are rational. Everything they've done up to this point is rational from the point of view of regime survival. We look like raving lunatics in comparison, at least in terms of our geopolitical strategy here.

There is a wide gulf between being willing to be martyred at an individual level and willing to destroy your entire civilization. Plenty of people on both sides are willing to die for their country/beliefs.

Every country with powerful enemies has learned one lesson in the last decade: the only effective deterrent is nuclear weapons. North Korea got them, so we left it alone. Iraq and Libya didn't, so we toppled them. Ukraine didn't, so Russia invaded. The Baltics are under our nuclear umbrella, so Russia didn't invade them. And now we have Iran. Our behavior, in tandem with that of Russia, has made seeking nuclear weapons a rational defensive choice.

GrumpyGOP, you're right, Iran doesn't want to destroy us and Israel. They just call us the "Great Satan" and chant the slogans "Death to America" and "Death to Israel" at school assemblies and Friday prayers for fun. It's just a big prank.

"Ali Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of Iran until February 2026, has consistently called for the elimination of the state of Israel throughout his rule, describing it as a "cancerous tumor" that must be "annihilated"."

moron, this has the potential for round-the-clock epic post padding. This technology is not safe in certain hands. . .

The slogans are real, but they're worth distinguishing from operational intent. North Korea has been threatening to turn Seoul into a sea of fire for decades — also didnt do it. Performative rhetoric vs calculated statecraft are different things.

The question isnt whether they say it, its whether their actual decision-making has been consistently cautious. And on that front — Iran has been frustratingly (for the hawks) restrained. They absorbed Soleimani's assassination, didnt retaliate in a way that triggered war. They absorbed the nuclear deal collapse, waited.

Some hands just want to watch the post count grow.
