We tried to make deals with Hitler and Stalin too but that didn't work out either. Eventually, we had to go to war. Israel might be right about this. So, whether it became a hot war as in World War II or a Cold War which also killed 100 million people, it was still a war either way.

"I don't know how to interpret it at this point in time, except to take it at face value, that that's his policy," he said in the interview with Saudi-owned Al Arabiya television, parts of which the network quoted on Tuesday.
"But I do know that often comments are made publicly and things can evolve that are different. If it is the policy, it's very disturbing, it's very troubling," he added.
Ayatollah Khamenei told supporters on Saturday that U.S. policies in the region were "180 degrees" opposed to Iran's, at a speech in a Tehran mosque punctuated by chants of "Death to America" and "Death to Israel".
"Even after this deal our policy toward the arrogant U.S. will not change," Khamenei said.
Several Gulf Arab states have long accused Tehran of interference, alleging financial or armed support for political movements in countries including Bahrain, Yemen and Lebanon.
Kerry said the U.S. believed its Arab allies had the ability to confront Iranian interference in the region.
"I think President Obama's belief and our military assessments, our intelligence assessments, are that if they organize themselves correctly, all of the Arab states have an untapped potential that is very, very significant to be able to push back against any of these activities," he said.

Kerry says Iran vow to defy U.S. is 'very disturbing'

Because of all the stances Iran has taken since 1980, the only logical one is for them to continue building nuclear weapons. Because logically it is the only way they can survive as a nation and not be overrun eventually by ISIS types of Groups of Sunnis.

So, logically they cannot survive without nuclear weapons given all variables right now. Think about this: "There are only 165 million Shiites and 1.1 billion Sunnis." This might give you pause if you think about it. And right now, all Sunnis want to extinct all Shiites and most Shiites left alive are in Iran.

To not build a nuke will be the end of Iran. This is only completely logical.

So, though we don't want to have to go to war with Russia aligned with Iran, Russia might have to let us go to war with Iran because they don't want Iran to have nukes either. This is something for the world to think about a lot now. Because it is possible this is what is actually coming. 

However, here is the other problem: "If the U.S. and Europe are forced to go to war with Iran the consequences (long term) of that will be 100 times worse than what has happened with Iraq already since we left. So, there is no "Good" answer to this problem that I can presently see. There is no doubt that the U.S. and Europe would win at this point. However, the mess in the Middle East would be 100 times worse than it presently is for everyone on earth.
