Whispers and rumors always spread wildly, but if this one is true, you can bet that the Iranians need an ass whipping. According to this article, the Iranian military attempted to ambush a join US-Iraqi border patrol. When the patrol followed an Iranian soldier who was in Iraqi territory, they were surrounded by a massive number of Iranian soldiers. A firefight broke out and one Iranian soldier was killed.
Details are of course, very sketchy considering that this in of itself would be considered an act of war. Iran needs to buy a map because they can't seem to distinguish what is their territory and what's the Iraqi's. This is why we take a hard line against Iran. It's not a simple "we're being a bully to poor Iran." They are actively trying to undermine the US-Iraqi security forces. They have given or allowed to be stolen, at least 100 extremely expensive, long range sniper rifles. They are actively developing a nuclear weapon I have no doubt. They support terrorist groups such as Hezbollah and they need to be stopped.
Every Middle Eastern country agrees that they are trying to develop a nuclear weapon and no one thinks they should get one, regardless of what you read in the news. They'll say that they are "with their Iranian brothers", but when the chips are down, they all know that a nuclear Iran would be disastrous for the region and the world.
