I seriously hope you are kidding, but that is a huge NO!!
Iran has not threatened war in 300 years and Ahmadinejad is not a Holocaust denier nor does he want to wipe Israel off the face of the Earth .. Read the transcripts of his speeches if you don't believe me ... Why would Iran want to be allied to a country that sponsors terrorism on its own people like they did on 911? The USA should stop acting like a Global bully !!
Don't listen to that guy he's just terrorist sympathizer but no.
Should the US use military action to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons?
no, i do not believe that it is just fo the us to use military force to take nuclear weapons from a country. This takes away a country's defense and deeply inplies that we believe that we are the all powerful country. We should not be allowed to decide what countries are an actual military threat. So, no, in my opinion, it is not just. no, i do not believe that it is just fo the us to use military force to take nuclear weapons from a country.

Is US planning to attack Iran?
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The Bush administration has been carrying out secret reconnaissance missions to learn about nuclear, chemical and missile sites in Iran in preparation for possible airstrikes there, journalist Seymour Hersh said Sunday. The effort has been under way at least since last summer, Hersh said on CNN's "Late Edition." In an interview on the same program, White House Communications Director Dan Bartlett said the story was "riddled with inaccuracies."
How are women treated in Iraq?
Your question is too broad to answer in this forum. However, the following law that was passed in 2014 will give you an idea of the lack of legal rights and protection for women in Afghanistan. Honor killings, forced marriages, sale to pay family debts and life threatening beatings remain the experience of most women. They are tragically vulnerable in a society that at its core hates and devalues women.
A recent change in Afghan law allows men to attack their wives, children and sisters with no fear of recrimination either legal or social. The law prohibits relatives of an accused man from testifying against him. Since most women are kept virtually as prisoners within their families they have no hope of any protection from domestic violence.

When did the CIA overthrow Iranian government?
1953, Operation Ajax. Obama just apologized for this earlier this year. Some wonder why we have so much trouble with mid-eastern countries like Iran. There are no clean hands in any of this but we must take a realistic look at our foreign policy, especially of late, about why we are having problems. Our current policy, is basically "I don't like the way my neighbor arranges his furniture so when he leaves for work Ill just sneak in and rearrange it while he is at work." Well at some point the neighbor is going to get angry and retaliate!

What caused the Safavid Empire to decline?
In addition to fighting its perennial enemies, the Ottomans and Uzbeks, as the 17th century progressed Iran had to contend with the rise of two more neighbors. Russian Muscovy in the previous century had deposed two western Asian khanates of the Golden Horde and expanded its influence into the Caucasus Mountains and Central Asia. In the east, the Mughal dynasty of India had expanded into Afghanistan at the expense of Iranian control, taking Qandahar. Furthermore by the 17th century, trade routes between the East and West had shifted away from Iran, causing a loss of commerce and trade. Moreover, Shah Abbas had a conversion to a ghulam-based military, though expedient in the short term. Except for Shah Abbas II, the Safavid rulers after Abbas I were ineffectual. The end of his reign, 1666, marked the beginning of the end of the Safavid dynasty. Despite falling revenues and military threats, later shahs had lavish lifestyles. Shah Soltan Hosain (1694-1722) in particular was known for his love of wine and disinterest in governance.
The country was repeatedly raided on its frontiers - Kerman by Baloch tribesmen in 1698, Khorasan by Afghans in 1717, constantly in Mesopotamia by peninsula Arabs. Shah Sultan Hosein tried to forcibly convert his Afghan subjects in eastern Iran from Sunni to the Shi'a sect of Islam. In response, a Ghilzai Pashtun chieftain named Mir Wais Khan began a rebellion against the Georgian governor, Gurgin Khan, of Kandahar and defeated the Safavid army. Later, in 1722 an Afghan army led by Mir Wais' son Mahmud marched across eastern Iran, besieged, and sacked Isfahan. Mahmud proclaimed himself 'Shah' of Persia. The Afghans rode roughshod over their conquered territory for a dozen years but were prevented from making further gains by Nadir Shah, a former slave who had risen to military leadership within the Afshar tribe in Khorasan, a vassal state of the Safavids. Nadir Shah defeated the Afghans in the Battle of Damghan, 1729. He had driven out the Afghans, who were still occupying Persia, by 1730. In 1738, Nadir Shah reconquered Eastern Persia, starting with Qandahar; in the same year he occupied Ghazni, Kabul, and Lahore, later conquering as far as east as Delhi, but not fortifying his Persian base and exhausting his army's strength. He had effective control under Shah Tahmasp II and then ruled as regent of the infant Abbas III until 1736 when he had himself crowned shah. Immediately after Nadir Shah's assassination in 1747, the Safavids were re-appointed as shahs of Iran in order to lend legitimacy to the nascent Zand dynasty. However the brief puppet regime of Ismail III ended in 1760 when Karim Khan felt strong enough take nominal power of the country as well and officially end the Safavid dynasty.

What form of government does Iran have?
Iran's government is defined as a theocratic republic. A theocracy is ruled by religious leaders who are believed to be acting on behalf of their deity. A republic is run by a democratically elected leader. In Iran, the government is run by an elected president, parliament, local councils and an "Assembly of Experts"- all of which must follow Islamic principles.
The government in Iran is a unitary state with a presidential system. The capital of Iran is Tehran, and has a population of 76.42 million.
Because of its theocratic elements, Iran is typically considered an Illiberal Democracy (as opposed to Liberal Democracies like the United States, France, Germany, et al.). That is to say that while there are certain trappings of democracy, they are not sufficient to create a truly democratic atmosphere. Several things that Iran has which make it a democracy include: regular voting periods, different candidates, and different parties with conflicting interests. Several things that Iran has, which preclude it from being a Liberal Democracy include: suppression of political expression, unelected leadership (in the form of the Supreme Leader and his council), repression of political parties, widespread voting fraud, restrictions on the freedom of speech and in the press, required loyalty oaths (this prevents members of Parliament from speaking out on issues for minority constituencies which have been harassed by the government), and unbalanced campaigning (where the "desirable" candidate can slander other candidates, but cannot himself be publicly slandered to the same extent).
Iran has a mixed econmy.
There is no dictatorship in Iran. Iran is a democracy based on Islamic law. Islamic law restricts freedom of pornography in society. Most Iranians are Muslims and agree to these rules. Some of the people of Iran do not agree to these rules and want more freedom.
What culture did the Safavids embrace?
During the Safavid Dynasty, women had considerable freedom and liberty compared to the other women of the time in different empires. They were not equal to the men, yet they had many rights that other women would not be granted until much later on (some women don't have this freedom even today). When the great Shah Abbas, the greatest and the most prosperous Shah that ever led the Safavid Empire, died in 1629, the empire seized to prosper (in many various ways). There were many other qualified and reasonably good Shah's that followed in his footsteps, but things weren't the same. One thing that drastically changed was this freedom that women had and had learned to appreciate.
At this point in time, they were forced to wear veils over their faces and long, thick clothing to cover their bodies. This not only showed the power of men and the weakness of women, but it was also extremely uncomfortable, since temperatures could get up to 103 degrees in the summer time. Most women spent their time in the home to avoid wearing the thick clothing and the hajab (the name of the veil), for at home the women could be "free" and wear what they wanted to
Who was involved in the Iran-Contra Affair?
The Iran-Contra Affair involved three nations: (1) the United States, (2) Iran, and (3) Nicaragua. It was a secret arrangement led by US President Ronald Reagan to sell US weapons to Iran during the Iran-Iraq War of 1980-1988 and use the profits from those sales to fund the Anti-Communist Contra Rebels in Nicaragua. In this way, Reagan was "officially" keeping his hands clean of the death and destruction in Nicaragua.

How any tectonic plates intersect in Iran?
The Iran Plate or Iranian Plate is a triangular plate between the Eurasian Plate, the Indian plate and the Arabian Plate. It is often considered a part of the Eurasian Plate.The boundary with the Arabian Plate is a subduction zone, also known as the Zagros Thrust. Here the Arabian Plate is subducted beneath the Iranian Plate, giving rise to desastrous earthquakes
The boundary with the Eurasian Plate is a suture zone (North Iran Suture) from the collision between the Iran plate and the Turan Plate (to the north) during Middle Triassic. So the suture is a result of the closure of the Paleotethys and the continent-continent collision with the southern active margin of Eurasia (Turan Plate). The Iran-Turan suture zone is extending from Kopet Dagh in the southeast passing through Binalud (north) to the Caspian Sea in the west. The suture zone is marked by ophiolites.
Iran has diverse types of land including deserts, mountains, plains, and plateaus. Much of the country is covered by rugged mountain ranges, such as the Alborz and Zagros mountains. The central region consists of arid deserts, such as the Dasht-e Kavir and Dasht-e Lut.
