Our buddy Barkley likes to point out the mullahs have expressed opposition to nukes. On some level, whether they REALLY want nukes in their heart of hearts is irrelevant. In some degree the US demand that Iran have no nukes is just a pretext for endlessly dialing up pressure on the regime for other reasons (everyone here can think of a list). So I think the desire for aggression is strong and does not depend on Iran's actual policies, except for some kind of abject surrender to US interests a la Qadaffi. (And look what good that did him.)
