Jonathan AC Brown, professor of Islamic Civilization at Georgetown University, expressed hope for Iran to develop a bomb after the United States dealt significant damage to its nuclear program.
Brown expressed his sentiments to his 75.3k followers on X.
“I’m not an expert, but I assume Iran could still get a bomb easily. I hope Iran does some symbolic strike on a base, then everyone stops. I’m surprised this is what these FDD/Hasbara people have been auto-erotically asphyxiating themselves for all these years,” he wrote.
“Ironically, the main takeaways (in my non-expert opinion, and I’m happy to be corrected) from all this have nothing to do with a US attack: 1) Iran can take a licking; 2) if Israel attacks Iranian cities, it gets fucked up pretty bad. I mean I’ve been shocked at the damage Iranian missiles caused; 3) despite his best efforts, Reza Pahlavi HVAC repair services still only third best in Nova,” he added.
The post received significant blowback.
Did you just actually post that you hope Iran strikes a U.S. base???

Is this ok with you @Georgetown President DeGioia? https://t.co/UCnphsQ5Ih
Why am I not surprised that this @Georgetown professor's tweet about Iran calls for killing Americans. "Symbolic strike" on a base? Given your father-in-law’s history with terrorism, it’s a curious stance. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, does it? https://t.co/UaR6KLUHYf

I should be surprised that a @Georgetown professor is wishing death upon American arrive members, but I’m not. Par for the course with these psychos. https://t.co/I1fAeE6gGf

What is going on at Georgetown University? You can take classes with this guy, but you can cannot study the science and ideas of Friedrich Hayek at Georgetown. That is the modern university in a nutshell, and your taxes are paying for it. https://t.co/Pfom24scrJ

As Breitbart News reported on Saturday, the president confirmed, “that the U.S. had bombed three nuclear sites in Iran,” with as many as six “bunker buster” bombs deployed at Fordow, while Tomahawk missiles were used on Natanz and Isfahan.
President Donald Trump pledged that the bombing of Iran’s nuclear facilities would be a one-off event and did not commit America to a long-term conflict unless Iran retaliates.
