Iraq is a creation of the British, it was setup to serve our interests about a hundred years ago, like the other Gulf states it was a puppet.
Iran is not a Gulf state, it is not a puppet of the west, it is an ancient and fascinating culture that has more synagogues and churches than all of the Gulf states combined.
Iran was a monarchy under the Shah, then it became a "theocracy" under Kohmeini, then it became a state sponsor of terror.
Iran is run by a supreme cleric whose only mission is the destruction of Israel and the USA.
Iran has the IRGC, an SS like group who kills, tortures, and terrorizes its citizens.
No one would agree to the terms that Iran’s regime has forced on its citizens.

Iran needs a regime change.
I agree, but saying I will do X and then not doing X is TACO, especially when you speak like that every week.
Saying he will do X knowing Iran doesn't want X to happen gives Trump leverage when negotiating.
Keeping X as a "coup de gras" isn't TACO, its smart.
There is a difference between a firm commitment and a negotiation stratagem.
Trump said 4 hrs ago he would not extend the ceasefire, there was no time for it.
War and negotiations are very fluid. Trying to track every verbal ploy is just stupid. Its the final outcome that matters.
It is your president who has the disagreements, he could just agree and we can all move on (but his Zionist masters won't let him).
The only disagreement is if Iran can have nuclear weapons, Trump says NO.
They're requesting the same things they stated two months ago, they have not changed,
Trump's reply hasn't changed either.
They told trumpy don't waste your time trying to push us around, we want no more silly sanctions, no more dictates about our use of nuclear material, no more US bases all over the ME that can be used to threaten us etc.
What Iran will get is no more oil revenue. The blockade has Iran by the balls.
Your idiotic position here is that the US is God and asking anything that the US doesn't want is satanic, evil incarnate. That's dumb, the US is just a nation among many, not the owner of the planet.
Why was the JCPOA created? Who all made commitments? Who cheated on their commitments.
The US is not God, but the US has a very powerful military and Iran is a state sponsor of terrorism, the US believes that Iran is too dangerous to have nuclear weapons and is imposing its will on Iran.
Iran terrorizes its citizens and rules by strict religious dictates, it is a vicious dictatorship that needs a regime change, like for Saddam, Qaddafi, and Bin Laden. Iran needs a benign and benevolent government, not a vicious militaristic dictatorship.
