Seems as Iran is the one beating the war drum..
I am amused by the people who love their ignorance. Read the OP more carefully :
The US and Israel started intensifying their war rhetoric against Iran in mid October, but after they saw Iran's firm response, both Washington and Tel Aviv withdrew from their previous stances.
So , Iran was just interacting to the threats made by Israel and Us four times a day.edit on 19/11/11 by hmdphantom because: (no reason given)

Dear me, standards here are low at the moment on this forum. Does no-one bother to research and back up statements any more?
English may not be your first language. For all I know, language may not be your first language. But the above statements reveal that you live in a simple world in which it's impossible to separate a country from its government and that government's actions. Many of the rest of humanity recognise this distinction. A sad rump of confused, noisy people remain, however.
And hold it right there. Have you been asleep for the past ten years? Non-existent WMDs in Iraq?
Here is a recent summary of IAEA activity in Iran.. It becomes clear that the evidence is not there.
A nuanced assessment of the I.A.E.A. report was published by the Arms Control Association (A.C.A.), a nonprofit whose mission is to encourage public support for effective arms control. The A.C.A. noted ......Cirincione noted that “post-2003, the report only cites computer modelling and a few other experiments.” (A senior I.A.E.A. official similarly told me, “I was underwhelmed by the information.”)
How touching is that "rest assured". Again, you would appear to have been asleep for the past several years. What's happening now is a re-run of the propaganda campaign against Iraq. The forged yellowcake documents then, the planted laptop with dubious secrets more recently,,,
Wake up. Your media and your government lie to you because they want the oil, all of it, and they don't want Iran to trade their oil in anything other than US$.
Iran needs to be crushed, so they can not respond.

TEHRAN (FNA)- A senior member of the Iranian parliament :
"Americans should know that even the slightest aggression and move against Iran will be reciprocated with a crushing response and will endanger the US interests all around the world," member of the parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Zohreh Elahian told FNA.
The lawmaker said that the US and the West are trying to refer Iran's human rights case to the UN Security Council in a bid to pave the way for an open military action against Iran, but "this move would trouble the US".
The US and Israel started intensifying their war rhetoric against Iran in mid October, but after they saw Iran's firm response, both Washington and Tel Aviv withdrew from their previous stances.
US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta underlined Iran's major role in global economy, and said the US would not dare to attack Iran since the move would devastate, not just the US, but the world economy.
Analysts believe that the statements by the US defense secretary prove that the US and Israel have intensified war rhetoric against Iran since almost two months ago in a bid to convince other countries, specially Russia and China, to accept harsh diplomatic actions, including sanctions against Iran, to avoid a US and Israeli strike on Tehran
On November 10, Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei warned enemies about Iran's tough response to any aggression or even threat, stressing that the country would respond with full force to any attack.
"Iran is not a nation to sit still and just observe threats from fragile materialist powers which are being eaten by worms from inside," Ayatollah Khamenei told students at a Tehran military college.
"Anyone who harbors any thought of invading the Islamic Republic of Iran - or even if the thought crosses their mind - should be prepared to receive strong blows and the steel fists of the military, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), and the Basij (volunteer) force, backed by the entire Iranian nation," he said.

First point
I just wanted to show the people who don't know about Iran , that women are as free as men in Iran. They just can't officially sell their body.
Second point
I just want to see those faces who were beating war drums . The people who were sure about what will happen in near future. The people who were trying to scare Iranian people intentionally or nu-intentionally.
Third point
There are many tribes and groups that are brought together in Iran brought together by the current govt in Iran. US can not imagine how it should bring those people together peacefully.
Fourth point
Majority of people in Iran still support the Islamic Revolution , they are really supporting it by any price they can pay. By taking all the hard sanctions against Iran. US and other superpowers just prove that they are enemy of Iranian people.
Fifth point
Iranian scientist are trying to find alternative fuels instead of fossil fuels , to pump less oil from our wells and get less independent to oil. To let a healthy economic system live in Iran. US and other superpowers just prove that they are enemy of Iranian people.
Sixth point
We are just Muslims and we have chosen a different way of life to live. We don't threaten other countries. We don't want others to be Muslims by force. We just see that Israeli politicians decide to threat Iran , every time they will.edit on 19/11/11 by hmdphantom because: (no reason given)

Palestine Abbas just mentioned on media He will never regonize Israel as a State.That means He will never regonize Israel and the Jews rights to even exist as human beings.Anti-semitism is not dead people.It is reailty the jews face on a daily basis.
With all this being said we should take this approach with more sanctions but of course they never realy work.Attack on them should be the last resort.For goodness sakes put yourselves in Israelis shoes after years and years and years of suicide bombers who by the way are teenagers brainwashed into commiting murder and suicide.This nonsense going on in the Islamic world has got to stop.

The Iranian regime still has a chance to stave off disaster. They can invite the IAEA team to Iran with the intention of every area of suspicion being given another look over. This mission can be accompanied by international media outlets as well

I agree with you about that. But sometimes , it is clear that the opposite side simply refuses to confide you. Then what can Iran do ? What would you do with someone who just refuses to confide you ?

Iranian regime does not make a earnest attempt at alleviating the concerns of Israel/US and more or less Europe

As long as I remember our former president stopped Uranium enrichment completely , but still those superpowers were not satisfied. The true problem is they don't want developed and independent Iran. They just want Iran fast selling oil and soon run out of oil. That is what they want.
As you know there are much virgin oil sources in Alaska , Canada and US . But they are just keeping those resources to sell them when the whole planet runs out of oil.
This is what Iranian govt is seeing and other govt refuse to see.

Your opinion is very worthy for me. I will understand that who is commencing the attack on nations all around the world and how much democracy there is worldwide.
Believe me , in Iran , people have trusted their leader about nuclear weapon. If there be a nuclear attack by Iran , the whole nation will surrender to US and there will be no need to attack Iran.
I just know how Israel is concerned about Iran.
