quelque point qui me semble rarement mis en avant quand on parle de l’iran et de la menace nuclaire.

1- Le president de l’iran n’a aucun pouvoir d’ou la virulence de ses declarations ( simple provocation, ne correspond pas a une intention reélle.

JUAN COLE : Well, Ahmadinejad is a ceremonial president. He is a little bit more active, has stronger links to the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps than his predecessor, Mohammad Khatami, who, by the way — the previous president of Iran — has upbraided Ahmadinejad for his comments regarding Holocaust denial. So Ahmadinejad is — he is not commander-in-chief of the armed forces. He can’t order anybody to kill anybody. He can’t launch a war. He can’t launch missiles. Those powers are vested in the Supreme Jurisprudent, the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Ahmadinejad can, you know, cut the ribbons and open bridges and things like that. So the American right’s fascination with him is entirely misplaced, and it’s because he’s a quirky character and he has objectionable views, and so it’s easy to use him to demonize Iran.

2- L’iran est au mieux a cinq ans de pouvoir construire une arme nuclaire et nous n’avons aucune preuve que se soit sont intention, la menace militaire qu’elle fait peser sur le monde est aussi credible que celle de l’irak.

Here is the reality. Iran has an economy the size of Finland’s and an annual defense budget of around $4.8 billion. It has not invaded a country since the late 18th century. The United States has a GDP that is 68 times larger and defense expenditures that are 110 times greater. Israel and every Arab country (except Syria and Iraq) are quietly or actively allied against Iran. And yet we are to believe that Tehran is about to overturn the international system and replace it with an Islamo-fascist order ? What planet are we on ? . . .
