Again, injustice at it's best. Just like how they force the sanctions on the banks to stop dealing with Iranian merchants, its extremley unfair and only hurt people who has nothing to do with politics. I have distant relatives here who got badly affected due to these sanctions with regard to the banking issues.
On the other hand MANY American companies are trading behind the curtains for Iranian-made goodies.
Let alone the fact that the West supported Khomaini's regime politically in order to demolish the monarchy.

American companies - not the American government Sym.
Iran is a tremendous threat to the region and does not have many, if any, allies in the region. America, along with other countries that agree with the sanctions, are trying to put pressure on Iran to find out exactly what they have. If Iran isn't willing to prove their claims that the development in the country is not intended for war, then they have to deal with the consequences. Unfortunately Iranian leaders aren't thinking about the people nor the good of their country.
I totally agree with you that this regime is a threat, but more towards the Iranian nation than the region.

How nice! Stop... I have heard it once, twice, thrice... Pardon it was about Iraq recently, wasn't it? WMD... CIA... No?
It's definitely so sad that air companies are not able to buy brand-new aircrafts and so put lives of passsengers at risk but it's how new Cold War works. My condolence.
As Sym said, Iran is Iran's worst enemy and will end up doing itself in rather before taking steps (bending to requests/demands) that will improve the country as well as regional relations. It's not just Israel that fears what Iran can do, it goes further.
