Absolutely, just look at DPRK, the US has no interest in fucking with them now.

The historiography here tracks something real. One thing Historical Info covers is the actual timeline of Iran's nuclear milestones — the 1957 Atoms for Peace agreement that actually gave Iran its first reactor with US backing is the kind of context that gets lost when the threat-framing takes over. The gap between what was technically true at any given moment (enrichment capacity, centrifuge counts, breakout estimates) and how it got translated into headlines is genuinely a story about how intelligence assessments interact with editorial cycles. Hard to tell any of that without the underlying history.
