Iran's agenda has everything to do with the global economy. They are waging a political war of rhetoric to manipulate energy markets and reap the short term benefits. Long term they are establishing even deeper economic ties with Russia and China to provide protection in the UN from US led actions.
Only about 20% of Iranians are really considered fundamentalists. Hell, I'd wager that Terahan has better cell coverage than Tiverton!
This is about global politics and the good old grab for economic power and leadership, and we are being outplayed.
