We already have the fanatical religious regime with nukes, Iran having nukes (which, by the way, is not in any way confirmed) would simply counterbalance that. And either way, if Iran is so close to making nukes, then there's already no time to prevent them from making one using military force. The only way to prevent this (again, very hypothetical) possibility was always diplomacy, which would require the West to not shit all over Iran like they've been doing for decades.

True on your first point, but their religion aligns better with liberal values so they get a pass. But excellent point.

There is a way to stop them, Israel is doing it. You kill all their scientists, generals and leadership and the facilities where this is being developed.

I don’t defend Israel actions in Gaza, but I think their actions towards Iran are very much justified in the grand scheme of things. Do I wish we could solve this without death and destruction? yes, but I also don’t trust that Iran will act in good faith and will stop developing the weapons even if they pretend to reach a diplomatic solution. The only way to stop them is to defeat them in such a way that they cannot recover.

"Liberal values" like having an explicitly religious/ethnic state, not having due process, having second class citizens, not respecting international law, etc. Yup. Sounds liberal to me. Maybe I don't remember hewbrew school too well but I don't think this was covered.
