iran is a threat to the US. But not a nuclear threat. Iran, like Iraq, wants to trade oil with the Euro and other currencies in its proposed oil bourse, At present oil is traded internationally exclusively with US dollars . All countries who trade in oil have to have a supply of greenbacks to trade causing the US dollar to dominate world trade and giving the paper a value of its own, like gold. However, if the hegemony of the greenback is toppled all that paper will come flooding back to the US creating runaway inflation and effectively rendering the greenback worthless.

Is anyone surprised? Obama prostrated himself twice before the alter of AIPAC during his election campaign. AIPAC is now calling the tune, Pipe! Obama ! PIPE!!!!
