I agree. OP said the Iranians have been virtuous. My point is nobody is virtuous in these sorts of conflicts.

Washington has the original sin of supporting an authoritarian against the Iranian people. But we have supported bad leaders in lots of places, from Cuba and Korea to Vietnam, that didn’t start menacing their neighbours and sponsoring terrorists.

I'd argue Cuba suffered worse sanctions than Iran and yeah, their government is much more humane than Iran's.
