That the nuclear issue is being used as a cover to try to turn Iran into another puppet state like Saudi Arabia,Baharain, Yemen, Jordan, and previuosly Egypt.
They are NOT stupid .. and that statement makes them appear stupid.
You didn't even bring up the ongoing forever .. sunni shia battle for power... Every country you named Is was ruled by SUNNI, I'm sure Iranians and other people notice what I did too .. And further, you didn't bring up Irans puppet states
...no I don't accept your answer .. it's propaganda that has been overused ... just like the everything is because of oil, pipelines ... etc. etc.. .
The arrangements that we had and still have were built from a different era .. with different circumstances. and I believe you are smart enough to know why we are allies with the countries you named .. .. .for both business and of course, all countries, both the US and all in the MIDDLE EAST .. their common nemesis, Israel.
