Yes, it's still hypocritical.

You can, and in my opinion should, criticize Iran for a lot. For example for being a theocracy like you mention. But saying "you cannot have nukes, but we can" is still very much hypocritical.

Remind me again which country has been the only one in history to actually use atomic weapons on their enemies, killing tens of thousands of innocent people as collateral damage.

The POTUS can arbitrarily take military action as long as it can somehow be tied to 9/11 so in effect the type of government doesn't matter much when it comes to the military threat each country imposes.

Also, the US has a history of military intervention, suppression, assassinations and overthrowing democratically elected governments.

That the US is more "liberal" is about as reassuring as being told the potion that is being used to poison you is 100% organic and GMO-free.
