Not sure why you're getting downvoted. I can't tell how it's any different from MAD based on what's written.

fwiw, I agree with what you wrote here. My intention was not to imply "Iran good, Israel bad," though judging by the upvotes it seems like I've tapped into that part of lemmy. My reductive quip still describes their motivation though.

I wonder why they would want nuclear weapons. It might be because people keep bombing them.

The culture war swung too far in a certain direction between 2012-2023 and this is the inevitable result. I saw this coming from a mile away.
