Iran threatens pre-emptive strikes against the US

So? That's what a "nuclear deterrent" is - it stops assholes from thinking they have "rights" and "priviledges" over other countries.
Any country knows the use of nuclear material is a no-win for either side - it's a last resort.
The US has decided to adopted a pre-emptive strike policy and it follows other countries will match this. The laws of "it's OK for us, but not OK for them" to do it don't apply.
Iran is a country that has been fucked up *very* badly in the past by interference from the US. As a result it has gone thru "troubled times". There is no reason in Iran to trust the US - the track record speaks for itself.
Currently the US even refuses to speak to Iran officials - that also is not any form of "rational" behavior - all other countries at least communicate and many have normal relations with Iran.
One year ago there was a major arms fair in Terhan. Although the US has it's usual sanctions/bans/prohibited "lists", the US still had major representation there selling arms via subsidiary corps. As the organiser said, "Where there is a dollar, of course the US will attend". The hypocracy is deafening...
If you were the leader of any Middle East country at this time, would you be sitting on your ass and throwing bouquets of flowers at the US Ambassador? Don't think so
