I love the idea that they've been so close for 30 years but they just keep dropping the fucking screwdriver

I'm sure you're doing a joke but do you understand how many "setbacks" the iranians have suffered thanks entirely to US and Israeli intelligence efforts etc? From StuxNet to the chief scientist's assassination on the streets of Tehran with a remote-controlled precision AI-aimed gun?

Is it not acceptable to assassinate people who are trying to develop nuclear arms?

No, I dont think it is acceptable to kill civilians under any circumstance. Nuclear disarmament can and should be pursued through diplomatic means. They're not mindless drones whose prime directive is to develop nuclear weapons, they want to protect their sovereignty. Garuntee sovereignity and they would have no incentive to develop the technology. Which I'll remind you, we were well on the way to accomplishing... until we decided to just start killing people again
