Iran is not a problem only to Israel, nor is it the problem of the US. Iran is a threat, first to the Arab countries in the Gulf. Just remember that when Sadam felt strong enough in the 80's he attacked Iran, lost the war there while killing 2 million Muslims (who can kill Muslims better than Muslims? no one). He just recovered his loses and went to take over Kuwait.
Now look around you, Iran is becoming a power in the region and who is warning the world of the threat? Israel, why? No one in the region has the courage to say first, that Iran is a threat to Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar or the other Emirates. Israel is not doing itself any service by not pointing the real threat. Iran is the whole world problem, as the region is a major supplier of oil to the rest of the world. All we have to do is say and say out loud, Iran is first of all a threat to the Arab world.
