It's Israel and Saudi Arabia that has wanted to blow Iran to Kingdom Come. Israel and Iran have had a shadow war going on for many years, mainly by land and air and now by sea. Last month, Iran claimed there was a terrorist attack that caused an explosion aboard one of their cargo ship about 50 miles off the coast of Israel.
Israel has been attacking ships carrying Iranian oil and weapons through the eastern Mediterranean and Red Seas. Iran quietly responded with its own clandestine attacks. The latest came two weeks ago, when an Israeli-owned container ship, the Lori, was hit by an Iranian missile in the Arabian Sea. The Israeli campaign against Iranian vessels has been confirmed by American, Israeli and Iranian officials. Israel is bombing Iranian ships that are carrying oil to circumvent the sanctions that Trump imposed.
Iran is being starved by the sanctions and they're surrounded by their enemies, why would anyone even question why they want to develop nuclear bomb capabilities? The nuclear deal made in 2015 between the US and the JCPOA placed significant restrictions on Iran in exchange for sanctions relief. It was working until Trump gummed it all up.
Doesn't sound like it was working from your point of view, for you want Iran to have nukes, then support the JCPOA, which prevents Iran from having nuclear warheads. Trump merely saw Iran still testing ballistic missiles all the while enriching uranium....so why an agreement when they weren't even living up to it? Trump did not just sit back and allow Iran to keep breaking the agreement and did the Presidential thing and brought back the sanctions on Iran.
