This is one of those snake chasing its tail scenarios. With Iran's
history of valid suspicion towards the US and its Middle East proxy,
Israel, I see Iran's moves as purely defensive. They *know* Israel
has nuclear weapons. They have been called part of an axis of evil
by the most powerful militarist country in the world. So, now
everything Iran does geopolitically is seen as agression towards
Israel and the US, when in fact they are probably scared sh*tless,
by the prospect of a military strike against them, and have been for
a long time. Why the US thinks it appears at all reasonable, modern
and sane when viewed from Iran is beyond me.
