I take it that when the Iranian Islamist regime openly calls America “The Great Satan,” even over and above Israel, and further calls for the annihilation of our country, you’re guessing they’re just teasing? I don’t know why, but I’m just getting (or have gotten) the sense that they really mean it, ya know. I just don’t know what to think about a Islamic fundamentalist regime who would end up having a nuclear weapon that by all accounts they’ll easily be able to deliver such a weapon to American soil. Am I 1,000% certain about that? Not exactly. But I’ll take their own word for it.

True enough, but nukes would make the threat exponentially worse.

What everyone should understand is that many countries have nukes. Only one has ever actually used them. That one is now assuming moral high ground.

You’re equating American moral ground to Iranian moral ground? When was the last time the American government wholesale slaughtered its citizens for merely protesting??

Guys that used IEDs and VBIEDs. Proxy groups throughout the Middle East would never threaten the Gulf region with a nuke.

You're missing the point.
What you or I think about it is of no consequence, and not just because we can't make any decisions about it.
The last two Commanders in Chief, both of whom have had access to information that you and I will never have access to (both classified and non-classified), apparently were/are willing to do whatever it takes. Including whatever scenario you keep asking about.
What else did those two agree on? Tariffs, I guess.
Those are the only two things I can think of.
That leads me to believe that what they know/knew that we don't know and will never know is pretty compelling.
If you want to ask me, "If you know what they knew and know, as of this date, are you prepared for America to send in ground troops to either pacify the country or to secure uranium enrichment sites?"
Then I'm going to say, yeah, probably.
I can't imagine my perspective being sufficiently outside the last two CIC's that I would siagree with them both, being that they were pretty much diametrically opposed.

And the reason no one else has is because the one who has used them has more than the other countries.

If you think anything about foreign policy (for anyone) has anything to do with "moral high ground," you need to exit this discussion right away.

The second they got one, Israel would nuke them first. They don't win this without Allah coming down and saving them.
Ain't happening.

It deserves it. WW2 is not comparable to today. Also, Japan was given plenty of chances
to negotiate or surrender before Hiroshima

I am not under that illusion. Never have been. TUSA does what it does to ensure its own power.
I think others may be under the illusion that we have some sort of moral high ground. They should most likely leave.
