Iran is not a threat to world security

The last time Iran started a war was in 1856 When they invaded Afghanistan in an attempt to capture Herat. http://en.wikipedia.org... "We judge with high confidence that in fall 2003, Tehran halted its nuclear weapons program. http://www.dni.gov... "Iran's military doctrine is defensive. It is designed to deter an attack, survive an initial strike, retaliate against an aggressor, and force a diplomatic solution to hostilities while avoiding any concessions that challenge its core interests." http://freebeacon.com... "Since the Iran-Iraq War , Tehran has placed significant emphasis on developing and fielding ballistic missiles to counter perceived threats from Israel and coalition forces in the Middle East and to project power in the region." http://freebeacon.com... Recent MOSSAD cables reveal that Netanyahu has been lying about Iran's intention to build nuclear weapons. http://www.aljazeera.com... Ahmadinejad never stated that he wanted to wipe Israel off of the map. http://www.washingtonpost.com.... Now it is time for a brief history lesson. In 1953 the CIA conducted a coup in order to remove the democratically elected Mossedeq from office after he nationalized oil fields owned by what is now known as BP. The CIA then installed the Shah of Iran Pavlavi, who led a brutal regime. His secret police was known as SAVAK, who tortured thousands of Iranians, there is some comparison between the SAVAK and the Gestapo. Finally in 1979 the Shah was overthrown during the Iranian revolution, and he died in exile; The wildly popular Khomeini took power. Iranian seized the U.S. embassy in Tehran, and accused them of being spies. The students originally asked foe Pavlavi to be returned so he could be put on trial. The U.S. refused, and Pavlavi died in 1980. After his death, the students demanded the hostages be put on trial for espionage. The release of the hostages was secured by the Algiers Declaration, where the U.S. agreed to unfreeze Iranian assets, however the U.S. reneged and refused to return Iranian wealth, the U.S. then cut off relations with Iran. In 1980, after the revolution, Iraq decided to invade Iran, which lead to the death of thousands of Iranians. Hussein used chemical weapons against the Iranians, which was condemned by a majority of the world, but a U.N. condemnation of the use of the chemical weapons was vetoed by the U.S. Despite the use of chemical weapons, the Iranians pushed the Iraqis back, and Hussein eventually agreed to peace in 1988. In 1983, and 1984 Donald Rumsfeld visited Hussein multiple times. Once in 1984 was one day prior to a chemical weapons attack by Hussein on the Iranians. Iran today is surrounded by enemies on all sides, with the only superpower on the planet showing that it will lie to justify an invasion into a sovereign country (Iraq, 2003.); and Israel, a rogue nuclear state declaring it's intention to destroy Iran. Iran has every right to be paranoid of war, and seeks every way it can to deter any invasion by the world powers. Iran is also closely monitored by U.S. satellites, and any attempt to field a nuclear weapon would be instantly handled. Any justification for war in Iran by the west is a pure fabrication, and propaganda.
