Iran with nuclear weapons is a huge threat to the US and our interests.

A threat to interests we have over there, yes.
A threat to the U.S.... Not yet in any real sense of the word.
Those aren't intercontinental missiles they are developing.
As far as going back to 1970 or there abouts, We created a situation there by openly supporting the Shah and failing to react to what was going on in the country. We could have ended up with a much better situation if we had kept the Shah in reign instead of letting him do his own little tyrranical thing. Funny thing with puppets is that you have to keep a pretty tight hold of the strings to make them do what you want, ya know.
