IMO Iran is a saber rattler. They are no direct threat to the US, they are however a very direct threat to the Middle East. I'd be more curious to find out what back door government meetings are going on in the middle east as to how they will handle their own problems. Similar in the ways that China/Japan discussed North Korea.

The reluctance of the US citizens to get behind a plan to "attack" Iran goes heels on the fact that Iraq was piss-poorly planned. It was a glorified invasion in 2003 and a major F-up by then SECDEF for not securing the regions before wanting to go in and "claim" Baghdad.

Oh, by the way so the libbys aren't shocked, the US is constantly making up "packages" on enemies..and some non-enemies, to be prepared in case something does happen. That is a defenses job, to plan and be prepared...pulling out and rebuilding/policing towns..not so much. I think we would all be shocked if you actually saw ALL the target packages that have been cooked up.
