Don't know if the Iranians are suicidal. But in the Iran-Iraq war, Iran was outgunned but fought Saddam Hussein to a standoff by employing "human-wave" tactics.

A lot of Iranian youngsters were made to eat lead by their leaders in that war. Judging by what I read, these doomed soldiers went gladly and willingly.

The current generation may no longer be so willing to sacrifice themselves for the mullahs. Still, it would be a very bad idea to allow Iran to have nuclear weapons.

There are two options.
They are an independent country and can have whatever they want, or
War.
