I see you’ve retreated to your favorite maneuver—pretending that your argument is about "avoiding war," while laying the intellectual groundwork for one.
Let me be blunt.
You’ve spent paragraphs rationalizing why the U.S. might need to nuke Iran, detailing weapons platforms, deployment strategies, and doctrinal frameworks.
That’s not an argument against war.
That’s war with a PowerPoint.
Now you ask why Iran would "hold on" to a capability that brings it "nothing."
Nothing?
No, Scott.
It brings them survival.
It brings them deterrence in a world where Western "security" means permanent subjugation, and Western diplomacy means: disarm, then die.
Ask yourself:
North Korea has a nuclear deterrent.
Libya gave theirs up.
One got summits.
The other got sodomized on camera.
That’s the real equation.
That’s the law your "rules-based order" is too cowardly to admit.
You want to lecture Iran on "global peace and security," when the very structure of that "peace" is a pyramid of corpses, built on lies, sanctions, assassinations, and shattered nations.
You say a bomb brings them "nothing"?
No. It brings them the one thing your empire fears:.
Leverage.
The ability to say no.
That’s what threatens "global peace," by which you mean: Western control.
Let me put it in Jungian terms since you fancy yourself rational:
Your worldview projects the shadow—your own will to domination—onto the Other, then calls their resistance a threat.
But the danger isn’t Iran wanting a bomb.
It’s the West believing only it should ever have them.
Iran doesn’t threaten the world.
It threatens the illusion that the world must remain chained to the U.S. boot.
And that illusion is cracking.
So no, I won’t "explain" to Iran why it should disarm while Israel stockpiles warheads in silence and the U.S. reserves the right to annihilate whoever steps out of line.
Because peace without sovereignty is not peace.
It’s occupation with better PR.
And if Iran survives by refusing to kneel, then so be it.
Better a sovereign nation that stands ready—than a graveyard that once obeyed.
