Yeah a self respecting nature won't besiege an embassy and kidnap a number of civilians for +400 days.
I would prefer a nuclear-sanctioned Iran, over a none-nuclear, unsanctioned one. Iranians are too calculating and life-loving to use a nuclear weapon on anyone, and the sanctions will work like a chemotherapy killing off the Mullah cancer.
At least you're admitting that:
1.) Kharamenei is a professional liar
2.) Iranians are gullible and uninformed
3.) Iranian media are not conveying the truth to the Iranian population. So, if they're willing to lie or hide the truth from their own people, they are more likely to do it to someone else. Thus, Iranian media outlets have no credibility whatsoever.
