@EWErickson Iran โwill seek the acquisition of nuclear weaponsโ for the same reasons motivating Pakistan, Israel and other nation-states to do so: because nation-states ultimately can only trust themselves.
@SenTomCotton In short, the statement misleadingly refers narrowly
to modern conventional interstate wars (post-1979), where Iranโs record is defensive or proxy-based rather than outright conquest victories. Historically, it is false.
@SenTomCotton Iranโs major losses include Alexander the Greatโs conquest (330 BCE), Arab Muslim conquest (7th c.), Mongol invasions, and 19thโ20th century defeats ceding territory. But the โnever wonโ claim ignores its imperial golden age and selective successes.
