Why?

Why does Iran want a nuclear weapon? Because, unless they have them, they will be destroyed by those who have them. We are watching the process right now, not only in Iran but in Ukraine as well. We just saw the same thing in Gaza. If you have nuclear weapons, you can literally get away with murder.

This situation, where nukes protect only those who have them and endanger all those who don't have them, and many other important considerations encouraged 122 nations in 2017 to create the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons which bans "developing, testing, producing, acquiring, possessing, stockpiling, using, or threatening to use nuclear weapons."

No one wants Iran to get a nuclear weapon. But do you trust Trump with them? Biden? Netanyahu? Kim Jong Un? Putin? Xi Jinping? Anyone?

I hope I won't be saying these words of Philip Berrigan in the near future, but I will say them when the time comes: "I die with the conviction that nuclear weapons are the scourge of the Earth; to mine for them, manufacture them, deploy them, use them, is a curse against God, the human family, and the Earth itself."
