Oh, that’s easy. Modi is Hindutva. Hindutva is fascist. Fascists don’t care about the international rule of law, and always make nice with other totalitarians.
Well, maybe at first. Like Hitler and Stalin were happy to split Poland and all, but they still had a bit of a falling out afterward. In the long run fascists can’t coexist with anyone.

I guess Iran gets to be the fucking adults in the room. Don’t fuck it up, Iran.
That pretty much sums up the world we are living in, doesn’t it?
It really is in Iran’s interest to be the adults, but they do not have the capabilities to take on both Israel and the US. Russia would back them, and probably China and NK, but still… I’m sure the moderates in Tehran know what the aftermath of a war would be, and don’t want that for their country. It would make the Iran-Iraq war look like a picnic.
