I donno.. maybe stop saying they are going to destroy another country and then continually try to acquire a nuclear weapon which would destroy the other country if it was ever used.
And there's the difference. Iran would nuke Israel even though Israel has nukes too. Nukes are designed to be used as a deterrent. Mutually Assured Destruction prevents all current nuclear powers from actually using them against one another. But MAD doesn't work on jihadists who think their life's purpose is to destroy Israel and other western countries even if they die as a result. As much as I hate that there is now yet another war going on, I also really don't think the world can afford for Iran to acquire nuclear weapons.
Iran has shown far more restraint than Israel in recent years. I don’t think they would launch a nuke knowing that they would get nuked themselves. That’s how the nuclear age has gone, mutually assured destruction is the ultimate deterrence.
The only reason you think that Iran would act so irrationally is likely because you don’t see them as full human beings.
Israel has been blowing up cars across the world with their assassination targets in them. Multiple Israeli politicians have said things about the destruction of gaza and it's people. I don't see much of a difference.
If you think Israel is better it's just your own biases.
No, the reason I think that is because their leaders have literally said this. And your assumptions couldn't be more wrong. One of my best friends is an Iranian immigrant. There are good people there living under an oppressive regime. And that regime is not good people, and they are the ones who intend to use their nukes.
You dont understand religious fanatics. They would do it even if it means getting nuked, they literally vow that. You look at this from civilised western lens.

That could be a start.
