Never forget how we got here. Back in 2001, Iranian and US negotiators were conducting talks and actions for better relations between the US and Iran. These included contacts between Iran and US ambassador Ryan Crocker. Iran was providing to the US full intelligence on the Taliban. Including details on where to best bomb the Taliban.

Somehow related to this was a coordinated, successful, and joint US, British, Iranian, Northern Alliance attack (uprising) on the Taliban in the city of Herat.

Then George Jr gave his Axis of Evil speech. Ambassador Crocker was immediately told by Iran, "You blew it." That is when all cooperation with Iran ceased. Iran later concluded that nuclear weapons were needed because the US would unilaterally attack (Pearl Harbor) other nations for no good reason. A first unilateral attack on a nation for no good reason was Iraq. Both Iran and North Korea began serious research and development of nuclear weapons.
