Iran never really popularly experienced Hiroshima and Nagasaki and their aftermath, along with the nuclear education that came with the Cold War. This has created a very bad sense among “The Iranians on the street” about what nuclear weapons are and do.

Other than being “a big bomb”, for many nuclear weapons appear to give Iran everything it wants. Power, respect, fear, wealth. The parallels with pre-World War II Japan are unsettling.

So what Iran really needs right now is a bad nuclear accident, to convince them that nuclear weapons have a heavy price, and few real rewards.

They need to see each other suffer with radiation poisoning, radiation burns, and the temporarily collapsed immune systems that come later, with resultant horrific diseases.

They must learn that nukes come with a terrible price.
