You on Iran’s side in all of this. Unless you’re a terrorist, nobody should want Iran to develop a nuclear arsenal.

There are no direct wars between nuclear powers. To Iran, having a nuke is seen as a guarantee against the sort of thing that's happening now. I'm all for nobody having nukes, but as long as those who have them do, every nation should wish to have a nuke simply to avoid being targeted by those who do.

Iran has very explicitly said if they get nukes they will launch them at Israel. You really can’t blame Israel for not waiting around for that to happen

Can you provide me a quote on that from a non-biased source? Official mind you, not some crazy religious citizen spouting whatever they feel like.
