If they want to go their own way and build nukes in secret then they should've taken into account that no one would treat with them.

Embargo on Iran was placed before they started pissing the West by developing a nuclear program or even a military in general.

But not before Iran figured it was a good idea to occupy the American embassy technically American soil and hold their diplomats hostage for over a year. You cant really complain when the Americans wont sell you spare parts after that.
darkjedi:
I was saying that even if Iran reduced its military growth and provided indisputable evidence that it's not building nukes, U.S. providing spare parts to Iran and selling AWACS and F-14D is unlikely.
And no, Iran does not need to stop pissing off countries that have the parts they need just because they lack spare parts. Their air force is not a significant part of its strategic deterrence, and Iran's most powerful self-defense element is its air defense. They'll stop pissing the West when they want, and that's ok. In the meantime they'll do their best to improve their reverse-engineering.

People will stop killing people when there are no people left to be killed.

So much for an RIP. :'(

Don't forget - Concorde was scrapped thanks to a faulty US plane blowing one up.

"The official investigation was conducted by France’s accident investigation bureau, the BEA, and it was published on 14 December 2004. It concluded that the crash was caused by a titanium strip, part of a thrust reverser, that fell from a Continental Airlines DC-10 (Continential Flight 55) that had taken off about four minutes earlier to Houston. This metal fragment punctured the Concorde's tyres, which then disintegrated. A piece of rubber hit the fuel tank and broke an electrical cable. The impact caused a shockwave that fractured the fuel tank some distance from the point of impact. This caused a major fuel leak from the tank, which then ignited."
