Israel's settlements are the reason Iran feels the need for such developments though.

I can oppose IRA violence and British imperialism at the same time but if we're having a reasonable conversation we have to recognise that British colonial force in Ireland is what drove people to form the IRA.

Even Iran’s leaders would laugh in your face at such a naive statement, you should reconsider your media diet

You know that isn’t true. Israel could withdraw to the 1969 borders and Iran would be just as dedicated to destroying it.

I'm not sure how that contradicts what I'm saying.

To continue the analogy that's like going back to 1900 and saying Britain could pull out of Ireland except for Ulster and there'd still be people calling for further decolonisation.

Iran is stupid trying to covertly get to a nuclear bomb, Israel is very stupid with those illegal settlements. It’s costing them both a lot of sympathy.
