I agree with this 100%, unless we really did significantly deter or delay their nuclear ambitions.
"To kill the infidels is one of the noblest missions God has reserved for mankind.”
- Ruhollah Khomeini
“If one permits an infidel to continue in his role as a corrupter of the earth, the infidel's moral suffering will be all the worse. If one kills the infidel, and this stops him from perpetrating his misdeeds, his death will be a blessing to him.” - Ruhollah Khomeini
“The Iranian nation has the courage to say, ‘Death to America.’” And “Yes, it will happen. Death to America will happen.”
- Ali Khamenei
“When you chant ‘Death to America!’ It is not just a slogan. It is a policy." - Ali Khamenei
I'm no scholar on Islamic views but seems like a lot of gymnastics here to justify what he said. But you do youOK, so this guy died 33 years ago. I'm not that worried about what he used to say.
The context of that speech, his use of "infidels," was referring to people opposing the establishment of their Islamic state within their own country. In no way was he saying he wants to kill Americans for being Christian. Leave them alone and we won't have problems.
America is a regime to them. It's not death to Americans, it's death to the regime that has been ****ing with us for 70 years.
And he might be right that it will happen. Our ambitions in the Middle East might prove to be our demise. It's certainly headed that way. Our government is indisputably in a financial crisis and we're going to war over BS.

So, they don't mean it but if Trump says something to take a maximalist position he is to be taken at his literal word. Truth is he is doing the same thing the Iranians are doing. He speaks their language.Uh huh. That's rhetoric as noted.
He’s doing the same thing they’re doing? So you don’t think they’re serious and just trash talking? You’ve said the opposite a lot….So, they don't mean it but if Trump says something to take a maximalist position he is to be taken at his literal word.

Mullahs say "Death to America", and they are just kidding it's just rhetoric.
Trump says "I am going to wipe out your civilization", and he literally means it and he is insane.
Both are trash talking.
I believe that they absolutely would make good on their threats if they had the ability. I consider their words trash talk because they could never do what they are saying, and they know it. Give them a nuke and all bets are off, and they know that too.He’s doing the same thing they’re doing? So you don’t think they’re serious and just trash talking? You’ve said the opposite a lot….
sfrom their perspective the uranium is the only thing that is going to get them free of our meddling. we have been meddling long before they started chasing nukes, so your claim that that is all we want falls well short.
in particular this admin has changed their narrative about half a dozen times about why we are there, so there is little incentive to give up the uranium as it likely doesn't fix their issue.
Our list of attacking Iran has been:
because Israel was going to.
to help the people.
regime change.
to open the straight.
to close the straight.
to stop their oil.
their nuclear program
their other weapons programs
because they are a threat.
And there ya have it. All thatHow would you even know we have? That's exactly the problem right now.
- We pulled out of a deal because we suspected they weren't keeping the spirit of the deal.
- Then they stopped following the letter of the deal.
- Yeah, they're enriching uranium, but, we have international organizations telling us to calm down about their alleged ambitions.
- Also, we have our intelligence indicating we should calm down about this.
- Then we bombed them last year because we just decided to call ******** on our own intelligence, and then we told the world we obliterated their program.
- And then a year later we have to take care of the problem again? Why, if it was "obliterated?" Why trust these incompetent liars who bomb girls schools to run ops like this?
There is no trust anywhere. The admin doesn't trust international organizations, its own intelligence, and there is no trust in the admin, because they're clearly full of ****. So IDK how the **** we ever solve this.
How do we ever get to a place where @kiddiedoc is satisfied with their nuclear ambitions? It doesn't matter what's actually happening, according to our intelligence and the international organizations...once a bunch of Zionist Republicans start expressing doubt about them keeping the agreement, where are you going to stand?
So they’re not doing the same? Sounds like you need to make up your mindI believe that they absolutely would make good on their threats if they had the ability. I consider their words trash talk because they could never do what they are saying, and they know it. Give them a nuke and all bets are off, and they know that too.
Trump has the means to end their civilization but he never would therefore he is bluffing like a poker player. It works because he leads people to believe that he is crazy enough to do it.
The man is totally unpredictable but totally rational. That makes people nervous and they blink.
