That's showing incredible restraint (and, might I add, virtue) from them, considering that their ideological enemy, Israel, has nukes and is more than willing to use them.
Oh No no no! That does sound like a "a defense of the theocratic monsters that run Iran"!
Remember that Iran has suppressed dissidents who question how the rich 1%, the banks and corporations run the country!
Those monsters in Tehran have preemptively attacked other states and destroyed their infrastructure! Iran has occupied territory and is killing civilians indiscriminately! Even bombing schools and hospitals!
Also they support various dictators in the World like Saudi Arabia in the ME. And they helped neo nazists take power in Ukraine. Oh god the evil. And I'm barely touching the surface.
The only thing they have going for them is that they accept homosexuals. Which we all know is the litmus test for a free and non-monstrous regime.
