Spearhead Analysis
Iran has serious security concerns. These stem from its experiences over the last several decades.

Iranians take pride in the Islamic revolution that ousted that regime and gave them back their own country. Iran believes that the aggression by Iraq that led to the long Iran-Iraq war and cost over a million Iranian lives was instigated and supported by the West.

Again and again, I come to the conclusion, that US interference in the internal matters of the Muslim countries is the reason, why the Muslims hate USA and don't trust the West in general.
Iraq was used by USA to defeat Iran after Shah of Iran was removed from power. USA supported Saddam and his generals and provided them with WMDs. These WMDs were used against the Iranians. USA had to remove these WMDs before they were either used by Saddam against USA by the Islamic extremists or they were discovered by the International community.
In short, USA has always created problems and is continuing to do so even now.
