One persistent mistake of people living in Western countries is the assumption that their values, which they live by, are universal and all people of all cultures want the same things.
This is, of course, a grave mistake.
Different cultures and political systems assign meaning and priorities very differently.
The Islamic regime in Iran places far less emphasis on individual human life than on honor, regime survival, and the preservation of the ideological system it has imposed on its own society.
If it turns out that Iran’s missiles really have a range of around 4,000 km, then one conclusion is hard to avoid: Iran misled the international community, and ESPECIALLY Europe, and many were too willing to accept those assurances.
A 4,000 km range would place large parts of Europe within reach. These capabilities were developed to reach Europe as part of the Iranian Islamist regime's ideology.
And it is important to understand the ideological dimension: The hostility of Iran’s regime toward Israel, Europe or the U.S did not begin as a reaction to Western “aggression.” It is rooted in a revolutionary Islamist ideology that openly frames Jews and Christians as adversaries and calls for confrontation with them according to their interpretation of the Quran.
Being a pacifist and believing we can "just talk" with the IRGC is a luxury belief.
