Most attacks on U.S. Troops in Iraq are by Sunnis not Shias, which populate Iran. The last National Intelligence Estimate said Iran could not possibly have Nuclear Weapons until mid next decade. Who has Iran attacked? Does anyone honestly believe Iran is a security threat to the United States? Is the U.S. trying to provoke another "Gulf of Tonkin" like pretext for a new war?

Nine U.S. warships carrying 17,000 personnel entered the Gulf on Wednesday in a show of force off Iran's coast that navy officials said was the largest daytime assembly of ships since the 2003 Iraq war.
U.S. Navy officials said Iran had not been notified of plans to sail the ships, which include two aircraft carriers, through the Straits of Hormuz, a narrow channel in international waters off Iran's coast and a major artery for global oil shipments.
