Obviously no reason you should have been aware of him but I'm actually laughing tears at the image of you sagely nodding along to von Treitscke until he finally goes all out

Stating prices in toman isn't a new convention but, yeah, it's quite bad

Part of the proud, longstanding FBI tradition of wearing women's clothing

Iran *is* flooded with western popular culture (like most countries are) and yet the Islamic Republic prevails

Fantasies of a 'grand bargain' with the IR that could cure all of the region's maladies have always been wishful thinking. Staying in the JCPOA would have been preferable but it would have done little to change the regime's policy on Iraq/Syria/Lebanon/Palestine, the sources of said "mass death"

You can ask the people lying in Assad's mass graves for what I mean by "most murderous"

Dunno, the mass executions and propping up the 21st century's most murderous regime are pretty hard to beat.
In any case, this isn't a competition, the Iranian regime acquiring nuclear weapons would simply be a change for the worse on its own terms

A fatwa is just the legal opinion of an Islamic jurist (in this case Khamenei). If he changes his mind, and perhaps he already has, that will not be a constraint.
Also if you think the Iranian regime are "the good guys" you've really lost the plot
