Oil yes, spread of western capitalism, I get it, shame on us for thinking everyone wants to be an American. But when the US gets out of the middle east as it seems the loudest voices here think they should, is there some reason to think Rouhani wouldn't do what he has vowed to do and remove the “cancerous tumor”. Iran, or it's leadership, blame the west for placing Israel there. You also may think it was wrong. But the fact is they are there now. What to do? I am not smart enough, involved enough to know. But if you defend Iran as a peaceful country whose leaders just want to care for their own, I think you are wrong, dead wrong.
