Iran had some of the best scientists in the world. They could have developed nuclear weapons very quickly if they decided to. But somehow the Ayatollah believed the West could be reasoned with. He was partially right. He signed the nuclear deal with Obama and complied with it. Then that became a campaign issue in the U.S. Trump got elected and betrayed Iran on that basis and, as a consequence, the Ayatollah was assassinated. Meanwhile, if Iran had followed North Korea’s lead, they’d have already developed nukes and been invulnerable from U.S. threats. Those are the lessons learned. And everyone’s watching.
