actions against Iran? What are some clear, short, succinct reasons for why the United States should strengthen actions against Iran? I don't mean how, but WHY should the United States strengthen actions against Iran.
Additionally, how is Iran a threat to the US?
Additionally, what is Israel's help to the United States? (Why is Israel an important asset to the US in the middle east?)
Isn't it true that Israel is a strategical military ally in the middle east though? We can have an army stronghold in Israel, not to mention that Israel has pretty strong army that is willing to use its firepower. An Israeli-American army would be one to be feared.
 
1: Iran is a traditional enemy of the US.
2: Iran is developing nuclear weapons technology.
3: We don't want our traditional enemies having nuclear weapons.
4: If Iran had nuclear weapons, we would actually have to take them seriously as a country.

Additionally, Israel is not an important asset to the US. They have done nothing useful in the entire course of their history but use US aid to turn themselves into a police state while continuing to whine after seventy years about how their great-grandparents knew somebody who lost a parent in the Holocaust. America's interests lie with the Arabs, who have the oil, which we want. If the US were acting in its own best interests, we would make peace with Iran and Saudi Arabia and let them push Israel into the sea.
