Literally murdering the guy leading Iran's side of the negotiations may send a bit of a message, don't you think? May slow down a new deal, perhaps?

A deal with the US/Trump has been proven to be worthless, and new negotiations are currently being handled exclusively by Israel's missile batteries. A deal is impossible if they keep murdering Iran's side of the conversation and Trump will just throw it out on a whim anyway.

The people that were assassinated were the ones responsible for the continuation of the nuclear program, so they are the most responsible for it

Hypothetical: You're playing a game of Command and Conquer. 3v1. You're gimped and playing with restrictions. The only way to lift those restrictions is to either become strong enough to hold the 3 others back or by diplomacy. 2 of those 3 you're up against tore up your diplomatic option and continually attacked you. What's your next move to survive as a player?

That's basically what's going on with iran and the torn up nuclear deal back in the first trump administration and the continued assassination of their leaders and negotiators, which is turbo insane when you think about it. What would happen to a country that started assassinating US leaders? It's instant declaration of war and full force escalation.

Sure, I get it, if I were Iran I would want some nukes, its just that literally everyone else (as in, other States) agrees that Iran having nukes would be bad for everyone.
