It's a theocracy that ritualistically chants "death to America, death to Israel."
Nuclear proliferation is never a good thing. But a regime like that getting nukes is a major crisis.
Because the US and Israel have been killing tens of thousands if not millions of Iranians directly and indirectly over the past century.
Israel and the US helped the Shah build his intelligence forces, which murdered, tortured and dissappeared tens of thousands of people. Then the US lead Saddam Hussein to invade Iran, killing a milliom Iranians over the course of 8 years. How much Israel was involved in that is unclear.
Imagine Poland would have adopted the slogan "death to Germany" after WWII. Would you consider Poland a major crisis? What about Ukrainian sentiment towards Russia since the invasion? If Ukraine would seek nukes in 30 years, would you also see that as major crisis?
