politics can make for a shitty discussion, but since the policies they pass affect us all, it is worth it to discuss it in my opinion

“What is the ideal for mental health, then? A lived, compelling illusion that does not lie about life, death, and reality; one honest enough to follow its own commandments: I mean, not to kill, not to take the lives of others to justify itself.”
― Ernest Becker
"Beneath the civilized veneer, man remains the supreme predator. Cursed with what he believes is understanding, his true soul blossoms godlike in the heart of the nuclear inferno."

I also like Iranians - its their Government that's screwing up (see anon's comments). The Iranians don't want nuclear power, they want nukes, to have a defense against the USA and to match Israel. Fair enough. But the cost is at the expense of the ordinary Iranians, in an economy thats struggling.
The reactor they have built is too small to be of much use for generating electricity. Plus, the Iranians have one of the worlds largest reserves of natural gas (second only to Russia) and are already just flaring loads of gas as they produce their oil. Its much, much cheaper (and faster) to generate electricity using gas turbines . If electricity was their true aim, thats what they would do. Thats why no-one believes them about the purpose of the reactor...

Never heard of a masochist?

"The things that are done in the name of the shareholder are, to me, as terrifying as the things that are done—dare I say it—in the name of God. Montesquieu said, "There have never been so many civil wars as in the Kingdom of God." And I begin to feel that’s true. The shareholder is the excuse for everything."
