The Iranian regime was shockingly close to achieving immortality before President Donald Trump launched Operation Epic Fury. If Iran were allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon, regime change from the outside would have ceased to be an option, and the most powerful bomb known to man would have fallen into the hands of radical jihadists.

Much of it centered on technology advancing faster than legislation can keep up, and when something can mirror human consciousness this well, there is a temptation to rely on it as if it were human.
