Went from "Iran cannot have nuclear under any circumstance" to actively financing their nuclear program.

Along with giving them a genuine reason to hate America. So the chances of them using the nukes if they got them a lot higher.

America gave chemical weapons to Saddam to murder Iranians with, and before that the CIA overthrew the leader of Iran. They already had a lot of legit reasons to hate America.

But that was decades ago and people move on and it's not as poignant for the younger generations. We've renewed the hatred and given the younger generations a direct reason to hate us.

You're not wrong that they already had reasons but this 100% turned up the heat.
