Summary There are a number of presidential candidates from the two major political parties in the coming elections. Both, the Democrats and the Republicans are out to sell their manifestos and ideologies. Everyone is trying hard to gain as much votes as possible. One of the most striking issues that can be noticed in manifestos of most candidates is Iran. They are mainly concerned about Iranian nuclear weapon development program, involvement of the Gulf and Middle East countries in the conflict and Iran’s interest in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan (Newton-Small, 2012). American people are all interested in understanding how these politicians, if given a chance, will intend to address issues of Iran nuclear development, Iranian support of terrorism as alleged by American citizens and Iranian activities in Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria.

Some of them feel Iran continues to exhort variety of groups, especially Palestine’s Hamas with leadership cadres in Syria and Lebanese Hezbollah, to use terrorism in pursuit of their goals (Associated Press, 2012). Furthermore, Iran continues to play a destabilizing role in Iraq. This issue of destabilizing Middle East appears inconsistent with the stated objectives regarding stability in Iraq. They also say Iran has provided guidance and training to select Iraq Shia political groups within. They also supply weapons to Shia militia group to be used in anti-coalition attacks. Terrorism is a significant issue because it affects American economy directly, as it can be seen in event that happened on September 11 when the attacks in New York and DC happened. It leads to collapse of businesses and interruption of economic activities. Relations with trading partners are destabilized by terrorism. Based on the mentioned above, a presidential candidate who w
