Anybody who wants peace and justice wants iranians to be able to defend themselves from centuries of endless imperial attacks. There will never be peace or progress if only the genocidal fascists are armed. They already have nukes and their explicit goal is invading and stealing every neighboring country.

The Persian empire was pretty big, until Alexander the Great (Greece) kicked their asses. This area has had empires rise and fall for millennia. Iran was the dominant power (and sometime colonizer) western Asia for 12 centuries.
I highly doubt anything will ever bring it peace, it's the middle east, nuclear proliferation is a terrible idea. And that goes for anyone, any country.

The death of the imperialist Great and Little Satans would go a long way toward bringing peace.
