I don't think a war with Iran is in our imminent future, unless they slip up and really provoke an attack, but it's a country that you don't want to forget is there. As much hateful rhetoric that has come out of the top political figures there, it'd be nuts NOT to keep an eye on them and know what they're doing. Maybe sanctions and stern negotiations will make them straighten up and ditch their fanatical theocratic ways... but for some reason, I have my doubts.
