Before you quote this tweet it doesn't actually say most of that stuff, except that BDS is discriminatory. It does however continue the Iran nuclear weapons myth, bringing back old classics
Hilarious that they're calling Trump pulling out of the deal a "costly mistake" but don't mention that Biden's only offer to Iran was the same deal with even more restrictions and limitations on Iran. Iran would likelyhave returned to the original deal but Biden's own costly mistake of slapping Iran in the face with more restrictions to get back to a deal Iran didn't break means there's still no fuckin deal
And again, a deal that was only ever a protection racket in the US’s favor in the first place. Iran is not, and has never been, developing nuclear weapons.
Any country that hasn't needed to immediately arm themselves with nukes given what happened with Iraq. The US has shown it won't hold war criminals responsible, so you're leaving yourself open to regime change if you don't have WMDs. This is especially true for Iran, who Americans confuse with Iraq all the time.
When you're talking to sympathetic-but-skeptical libs (and many of us were there once), it's far better to understate your claims than overstate them. You don't want to get bogged down on debatable shit; keep the conversation on topics where there isn't any defense.
