I’d say that attacking: US, France, Britain, Afghaistan, Iraq, Somalia, Lebanon, and its own oppression and constant crimes against humanity on its millions of Iranian citizens… threatening ‘Death to US’ – the “big Satan,” planning a nuclear attack for genocide on 6,000,000 Jews in Israel (with an introduction of denying the Holocaust), treatening its immediate neighbours, Europe… dreaming of becoming the “Mahdi” to dominate the world under a theocratic Islamic totalitarian system run by the mullahs, constitute a serious treat, Don’t you?
