The current problems being.
1. Developing nuclear weapons they have publicly stated they want to use on Israel and the US

Reagan gave them some guns, that seemed to work pretty well.
Current problems: 1. I am not convinced the nuclear weapons stuff is more than rhetoric on both sides... people have been keeping track and, other than amadhinejad's general weirdness, there's no evidence there is anything happening other than a legal nuclear power program. They have the right to a nuclear program, and anything we do to prevent them from developing weapons (which I believe is absolutely necessary) has to include allowing a nuclear power program. (and war certainly isn't the answer)
2. Is there any evidence that the Iranian government is involved? I think we're all lacking information on this one... sounds suspiciously like Bush doublespeak to me. The U.S. and Iraqi troops in Iraq DO need to prevent foreign groups (which are not easily traced back to their governments and any speculation that their governments are involved is just that) from making the situation in Iraq worse, but they need to watch the border on their end, not require Iran and Syria to conduct military operations against groups within their own country under threat of violence from the U.S. This kind of attitude is going to spread civil war; just look at Lebanon and Palestine, where Israel, with rhetorical and military-financial support from the U.S., has made it clear that they must fight opponents of Israel at home or suffer consequences, and internal violence is spreading. This internal violence may serve as a temporary distraction, but it will do nothing to slow down terrorism, and will in fact make it worse.

Iran has stated over and over again that they want power plants not weapons plants but Bush will ignore them because they have the oil that we and the corporations need at the end of oil in order to stay rich as long as possible. The Iranians that are fighting in Iraq are just a bunch of hillbillies. I can already see it in a year of so, all the republican talking points will be about "the people we really are fighting in Iraq are Iranians."
North Korea is in the testing phase of their WMD`s and a hell of allot closer to the U.S. then Iran is.
The Taliban is opening back up schools in Afghanistan and you guys want to start another war.

1953
Eisenhower sent in the CIA to engineer a coup against the moderate republic and install the bloddy Shah.
Iranians have never forgiven the US for that. I wouldn't recommend trying it again.
