Of course the US is trying to create a scenario where ISrael can gain international support to pre-emptively strike Iran. They must try and make Iran feel threatened and alone - that pressure can then be used to effect regime change in Iran. If not - then the military option can be freely exercised by Israel.
The problem is that more and more people hate Israel, and the US. More and more people are listening to Ahmadinejad - and realizing that he is peaceful, intelligent and charismatic - he is twice the leader Obama is, and his country is modern and beautiful.
I do hope that a war against Iran cannot be sold once again to the ignorant US citizens - surely they learned something regarding the lies used to create the atrocity of Iraq?

Well, using Carter as a source? Anyway. I'll grant you that America is hated. Despised. Reviled.
But that is still no reason/excuse for socialism. There is no justification for that. To claim that a country adopted socialism soley because they hate what America represents is wrong.
"Petroleum is a noble material, much too valuable to burn... We envision producing, as soon as possible, 23000 megawatts of electricity using nuclear plants," the Shah had previously said.
being considered innocent until proven guilty – is a legal right that the accused in criminal trials has in many modern countries.
A Pakistani tribal militant group responsible for a series of deadly guerrilla raids inside Iran has been secretly encouraged and advised by American officials since 2005, U.S. and Pakistani intelligence sources tell ABC News.
"If you want to build the building, you can do that. If you want to lay the pipes, you can do that. Six months before you start processing itself ... then you need to inform the IAEA so it is prepared to begin its inspection programme," Ahmadinejad said.
"Now is this the right thing or the wrong thing to do?" he asked. "It is not a secret facility. If it was, why did we inform the IAEA a year ahead of time?"
Even as he insisted that Iran, as a sovereign state, did not need to report to Washington, Ahmadinejad said that Tehran would allow IAEA inspectors to visit the site.
The US and Israel have failed in their diplomacy behavior. In my oppinion, they were a little bit dominant and demanding. That's also not the right approach.

TEHRAN, Iran – Iran tested its most advanced missiles Monday to cap two days of war games, raising more international concern and stronger pressure to quickly come clean on the newly revealed nuclear site Tehran was secretly constructing.
State television said the powerful Revolutionary Guard, which controls Iran's missile program, successfully tested upgraded versions of the medium-range Shahab-3 and Sajjil missiles. Both can carry warheads and reach up to 1,200 miles (2,000 kilometers), putting Israel, U.S. military bases in the Middle East, and parts of Europe within striking distance.
The missile tests were meant to flex Iran's military might and show readiness for any military threat.
"Iranian missiles are able to target any place that threatens Iran," said Abdollah Araqi, a top Revolutionary Guard commander, according to the semi-official Fars news agency.

I'm gonna go ahead and say that yes they will be attacked. The US and other powers have been setting up for it since the beginning of this "war on terror."
Look at this map below.

We started out in Afghanistan looking for Osama bin Laden and his terrorists but that was quickly forgotten when our previous administration decided to go ahead and invade Iraq on the basis of Saddam hiding Weapons of Mass Destruction, which was later proved to have been based on circumstantial and later admitted false documents.
What lies right in the middle of both these two countries?
Iran.
We have been setting up for a dual-offensive on Iran since the beginning of this. 8 years later and billions of tax dollars and we still have not found Osama bin Laden, we killed Saddam to clean up W's fathers mess on war crimes from years ago, and have cracked open a hornets nest in the form of various ethnic groups fighting both us and themselves.
We have exacerbated an already tense situation with Iran since the unpopular elections when the world witnessed anarchy in their streets and opposition protests to tyranny.
The world elite want this war with Iran. And sadly they will get it.
They will most likely use this new nuclear plant as the catalyst for reasons why.
Why else do you think Iran is now flexing their military muscle more than ever before?

I don't want to sound like fear mongering, just felt that an appropriate counter was needed to show more cohesively why a war with Iran is unfortunately a very probable reality.
