Republicans replaced Iran's elected leader with a dictator in the 1950s.

Republicans gave chemical weapons, financial assistance, tech, intelligence, etc. to Iraq after they attacked Iran who lost hundreds of thousands of people in 1980s during the Iraq-Iran war thanks to US support.

Now Republicans started unconstitutional war and committing war crimes while crashing our economy with the rest of the world.

MOST of 9/11 attackers were Saudi, who are Sunni. Not one was Iranian, who are Shia.

Iran can easily make chemical and bio weapons but never used them on US/Israel. Fear of Iran having nukes is based on bigotry and politicians instilling that fear over decades. They are not backwards. They know if one molecule of mustard gas hit Israel that they would be turned to glass. They are fully aware of mutual assured destruction. It's also why they haven't completely unleashed with conventional weapons on surrounding regions.
