Does Iran want world peace? Honest question.

They have 60% enriched uranium. A ballistic missile program. And are the world's leading exporter of terrorism.

I try to give most opinions the benefit of the doubt, but your perfectly rational counterpoints are what most of the "anti-war" viewpoints fail to logically consider. Pros vs cons, risks vs benefits. They stress the costs, in lives and dollars, of engaging in this conflict. They almost never thoroughly explore the costs, in lives and dollars, of doing nothing. Usually just a cursory wave of the hand; "That would never happen if we'd left them alone".

They refuse to acknowledge that, over the last 50 years, politicians and analysts of virtually every persuasion have condemned the Islamic regime at one time or another. Not all at the same time of course, because that's not how politics (and analysis) works. Nevertheless, it's been a longstanding known problem that has never been addressed while it steadily grew bigger.

Finally, with assistance from Russian and China, the Islamic regime has reached a level of strength (military power combined with foreign militia and terrrorists groups) that poses a real threat to global energy and thus stability. They''ve been branching out beyond the middle east to other key places around the world, like Venezuela. They incite conflict wherever they have influence. Even with conventional weapons, they are a serious risk; with nukes they'd be a critical risk that might be uncontrollable short of nuclear war. Nothing in the regime's history suggests that could be safely ignored forever. It may have already been ignored for too long.

A letter, dated 26 March 2026, from the commanding general of Marine Forces Reserve (MARFORRES) and Marine Forces South, Lieutenant General Leonard Anderson IV, to all Marines under his command stresses the importance of being ready to deploy in light of current operations in Iran, going on to say that a mass mobilization could become reality.

Saudi Arabia is weighing entry into the war against the Islamic Republic of Iran amid rapidly escalating regional conflict.

The US never should have gotten involved without Saudi being fully “in” the war. Saudi and the gulf want their neighborhood bully gone? Then join. Fully.

Hopefully the house of Saud is the next despot to fall after Iran.

Let’s not forget the House of Saud was a whisker from falling so they paid off their citizens during Arab Spring.

Deputy Prime Minister & Foreign Minister of Pakistan|Leader of House,Senate:

I am pleased to share a great news that the Government of Iran has agreed to allow 20 more ships under the Pakistani flag to pass through the Strait of Hormuz; two ships will cross the Strait daily.

This is a welcome and constructive gesture by Iran and deserves appreciation. It is a harbinger of peace and will help usher stability in the region.

This positive announcement marks a meaningful step toward peace and will strengthen our collective efforts in that direction.

Dialogue, diplomacy, and such confidence-building measures are the only way forward.
