This is why I'm totally ambivalent about this.
Pakistan got a nuke by 'playing nice' and doing it without agitating the entire world in the process.
In reality Iran has pretty much zero actual friends that are going to do much to help them, because Iranian leadership has basically made it the national pastime to constantly run their mouths. I'm not exactly sympathetic to someone like that finally getting popped in the face when they spout off one too many times.
The vast majority of support for the strikes that I see is rooted in using Iran's own rhetoric against them. The situation would be vastly different if they didn't feel compelled to constantly do that.
