Wanting Iran to have even greater deterrence would be a good take if it came from an anti-imperialist perspective. Instead, this is a very odd tut-tutting from people trying to blame Iran for not pushing back "enough" against the exact people who live in imperialist countries and support imperialism itself, including against Iran. The goal is to create deserving victims.

4 lines for a drop cap?! Egregious! Outrageous! Preposterous!
