"The U.S. and the EU Should Get Used to the Idea of a Nuclear Iran"
A. Savyon, The Middle East Media Research Institue:
Head of Iranian Nuclear Negotiating Team Sirus Nasseri: The U.S. and the EU should "get used to the idea of a nuclear Iran."
Introduction
At the end of the first three-month period of negotiations stipulated in the November 2004 Paris Agreement signed by Iran and the EU Three (Britain, France, and Germany), a steering committee of representatives of all the parties met for a joint assessment of the situation. It was decided that the negotiations would continue as Iran maintained its suspension of uranium-enrichment activity.(1) At the same time, the commanders of Iran's Revolutionary Guards and armed forces announced that they were prepared for a possible military attack. ...

Iran Declares its Military Preparedness
In recent months, commanders of Iran's Revolutionary Guards and armed forces have announced their complete preparedness for a possible military attack on Iran's nuclear installations and other sensitive sites. Iranian spokesmen have declared that Iran's response would be formidable. Recently, the London daily Al-Hayat published a report on Iran's preparedness for an American or Israeli attack. The following are excerpts:(30)
"Iranian military sources say that the armed forces and the Revolutionary Guards have made all the field preparations for handling a surprise attack on targets within Iran. [These preparations] are not limited to the nuclear installations, which are dispersed among the cities and various locations - Bushehr, Isfahan, Arak, Natanz, Tehran, Yazd, and others - but also include military and industrial plants and dams.
"...Iran's military command has taken into account the possibility of a disruption of [communications] between military posts and the central command... As a precautionary measure, the command has ordered all military and Revolutionary Guards sectors to respond swiftly - within no more than an hour and without waiting for orders - against pre-selected targets, [in light of anticipated] international political pressures that might force Iran to not respond.
"The objective is to deliver a harsh blow to the U.S. and its ally Israel at the outset, and then to expand the arena, in light of international efforts to contain the crisis and limit its scope and intensity, so as to ignite the whole region. This way Iran will assure its right to respond.
"...All the countries that host U.S. military forces - particularly Iraq, CENTCOM [U.S. Central Command] in Al-Siliya [Qatar], the Al-'Odeid base in Qatar, and the Fifth Fleet command in Bahrain - are among the sites Iran might consider as targets. However, the biggest fish of all is Israel, which is likely to suffer 'hellfire' - particularly when the Iranian response 'will use [varied] weapons and reach other targets that the aggressors are not expecting them [to reach].'

Yep! Dictatorships always fear that issue. It immediately scares them into being nice when you bring that up. Political prisoners are released. Democratic elections become a high priority. Cats cohabitate with dogs. Did I leave anything out?
As I said earlier, the only way to help collapse the dictators is to point at their poor human rights records.
Mullahs are no exceptions. They will collapse if the free world express its concerns over these issues constantly!
Does that mean the death to infidels thing will be passe? Glad to hear they're going to immediately abandon a thousand or so years of tradition.
While you're waiting for the Law of Unintended Consequences to kick in, I hope Israel takes out the garbage. The Law of Intended Consequences is much more certain.
That's great for a laugh, but I think you need more pratice before you rely on standup comedy for a living.
may be!

This was once said by an Iranian journalist (Mr. Morteza Mardiha) who praises the US a lot on many Iranian news websites and writes lots of articles with respect to the US-Iran relations.
I read the same thing as you said on his web site.
He appreciated the aids and help the US was sending to Iran before the Islamic revolution of 1979
