Really, because I can tell you exactly what will happen. The US will play by the rules. Iran will play nice and obey the new rules as long as it’s useful and as soon as it stops being useful they will tell us and our agreement to fuck off. The deal will end up a miserable failure. Same old story over and over.
Let’s see some things their current leaders have said…
“The beautiful cry of ‘Death to America’ unites our nation.”
“[Israel is] the great Zionist Satan.”
“Saying ‘Death to America’ is easy. We need to express ‘Death to America’ with action. Saying it is easy.”
“[There is only one possible solution to unrest in the Middle East], “namely the annihilation and destruction of the Zionist state.”
“It is the mission of the Islamic Republic of Iran to erase Israel from the map of the region.”
“There are documents showing close collaboration of the Zionists with the Nazi Germany, and exaggerated numbers relating to the Jewish holocaust were fabricated to solicit sympathy of the world public opinion, lay the ground for the occupation of Palestine and to justify the atrocities of the Zionists. There is even evidence on hand that a large number of non-Jewish hooligans and thugs of Eastern Europe were forced to migrate to Palestine as Jews. The purpose was to install in the heart of the Islamic world an anti-Islamic state under the guise of supporting the victims of racism and to create a rift between the East and the West of the Islamic world after 1400 years of unity between those two parts.”
“Our people say “Death to America,” and this is like saying “I seek God’s refuge from the accursed Satan,” which is recited before any chapter of the Koran, even before “In the name of Allah the Compassionate, the Merciful.” Why is this? So the believer will never forget, even for a moment, the presence of Satan. So he will never forget, even for a moment, that Satan is ready to attack him and to destroy his spiritual shield and is faith… The saying “Death to America” is for this purpose.”
And on and on and on. Okay, I’m not a doctor. I don’t have their medical history. I cannot clinically diagnose them as insane. Their leaders just say and do incredibly insane things. Maybe you know better than me what is in their hearts, but no, you cannot bargain with and appease people that believe such nonsense. The “I believe a God given mandate of my people to wipe a race off the map because those people are literally Satan” is kind of the end of rational discourse.
And I leveled very specific charges over how our relationship with Israel has changed, if you don’t want to address the point of the thread, fine.
