Calling Iran a “peaceful country” and “virtuous” is not supported by the facts. Iran develops nuclear weapons despite its negotiated agreements.[1] It engages in hostile acts throughout the region directly and through proxies like Hezbollah. [2] It interferes with domestic elections of other countries. [3]

The US breaks its negotiated agreements, engages in hostile acts throughout the world, and interferes in elections in other countries. If we were to believe America is a peaceful country, then we'd have to say the same about Iran.

You are changing the subject. My comment said nothing about whether the U.S. is a peaceful nation.

Perhaps [1] has something to do with this? "Iran has openly announced all violations of the nuclear deal in advance, which have followed the decision by the U.S. to pull out unilaterally in 2018."

As I responded to another comment, the other P5+1 members remained in the agreement. If Iran wishes to withdraw, it can.

What the hell? US withdrew from agreement, took out enriched uranium, brought back and amplified sanctions, killed the head of the military... What are Iranian leaders supposed to do!

The US pulled out, but the other signatories (China, France, Russia, United Kingdom, Germany) did not. If Iran was unhappy with the agreement after the U.S. withdrew, the virtuous thing to do would have been to also withdraw. It is not virtuous to break their promise by remaining in the agreement yet willfully violating it.
