So Iran is a country run by fanatical zealots who are dangerous and unpredictable, and THAT'S why we have to be afraid of them? That's wonderful. Unfortunately, it doesn't explain why we overthrew a democratic, secular government. It doesn't explain why WE introduced unconventional weapons to the region, and our allies have been the only ones to use them -- and against Iran, no less.
If Iran is "unstable" and "untrustworthy" because we think they MIGHT attack their neighbors and use unconventional weapons against civilian populations -- what does that make America?
