Unfortunately, with Iran in particular, when western countries apply pressure Iran redoubles their atrocities. When ignored, they’re somewhat lessened, but they still blame the US as the cause of the behavior. There are historical reasons for this, but it’s a no win situation.
Indeed. There’s just no positives to be taken from getting involved with Iran. They chose their own destiny after the whole Iran hostage situation, there’s no coming back from that.
I am no expert in geopolitics, but didn’t they get exactly what they wanted? Carter out of office, the Shah deposed, the US humiliated, and religious fundamentalism as a preferred way of life.
Happy to be corrected by someone more knowledgeable than I am.
