Against all logic and necessity, and opposed to any form of intellectual normality, Obama set out to deliberately transform Iran, under the guardianship of Iranian Ayatollahs, into a regional disruptive rising power nightmare, and existential nuclear threat, not only to Israel, but to the entire ME.
