You know, if our stupid government wasn't so full of hawks, we'd have repaired our relationship with Iran years ago.
My father traveled there about a decade ago and said that everyone they met was super friendly and welcoming. He was forever jaded about the way their country is portrayed in western media after that.
Is their government fucked up? Yes. But we should try to build friendly relations in hopes of influencing them to treat their people better rather than causing them to cozy up to a shithead like Putin.
You won’t influence a religious theocracy.
