The U.S. and Israel are pushing the line and if they (we) expect to come out of this unharmed we're delusional. If Russia itself takes us on, we're done. If Iran and Russia take us on, we're done. If Russia, Iran, and China take us on, we're extinct. We're about as close to that line as one can get.

I haven't seen any provocation by Iran other than warnings. All the provocations I've seen is either U.S., Israel, or EU ally NGOs and figureheads.
I think Iran, specifically Ahmadinejad, is calling the bluff on the U.S./Israel alliance's hypocrisy, and getting tired of being vetoed and sanctioned while it's still in the dark ages with respect to modern energy production.

Should Iran test a nuke (possible a borrowed one) to 'say' they have nukes.
Thus put an end to Israel's "we have to prevent them from getting nukes" war-cry
Thus put an end to all the speculation of how to remove Irans ability to produce nukes. And then Iran can say...see, we got em...and we aint used em on ya
YET

Always with the mis-quotes. So…does the crowd filmed time after time shouting death to Israel/America to be misconstrued as a mis-quote.
Or just sheeple?
Many Governments don’t like each other much and that is a given.
Just because you chose to ignore the facts, does not mean the facts are irrelevent.

the Iranian Governmant has preached about the elimination of a people as a race/religion. And their nation.

No I do not...I would prefer no one have nuclear bombs.
But many do. And some see them as end all be all game changers.
Iran is no worse than any other nation that has nukes INMHO
Words and actions are two different things.
Israel and the US (not the current administration, but the rest of it I guess) thinking keeping Iran from being a nuclear power is important enough to start wars, is to me, just a way to expend ammunition.
It is inevitable...when action is taken to remove Irans nuclear weapon capabilty, the result will be setting back the clock a few years.
Then repeat.
Iran will be on the verge of creating a nuke once again in a couple years...and the same thing will happen.
I'm saying lets forgo this cycle, and let Iran have its nukes...It will never use them. Its like the dumb drunk down the street...he yells real loud, but when he knows the police are on the way...he gets real quiet quick...Iran can have nukes and not use them, despite what some would like us to think.
