When things turned somewhat bad for USA in the region Iran realised that had nothing to fear....quite the opposite...USA has had it.
Obama's weak polices contributed as well.

Of course they did! But I don't think it was because of what your alluding to The US had just come into a Iraq with Intel THEY MADE UP and and proceeded to occupy the whole place and kick heads in with what pretty much amounts to as total lies now. I mean heck we were using artist concepts as "solid proof" they had mobile WMD labs, and saying metal pipes that could have been for anything (and scientists who make A bombs said something to that effect) were the smoking gun.
now put yourself in Iran's shoes...did they want to be invaded? I'm betting not, so when the United States, a country that already hates your guts is wheeling around the general area on some WMD goose hunt...and you have a nuclear energy program or something that even looks remotely like a bomb program, you are probably going to put that on hold until they are gone or at least till you think it's not an issue
also...what policies have made us weak? The fact that we've realized that 2 wars is unsustainable for a decade and being the bigger person and apologizing for burning a holy book held sacred to many, many people around the world. If we had accidentally fed pork or something to a bunch of people in Israel the right wing would probably shuffling around on their knees begging for the anointed Israel's forgiveness. And you know it's true. They just hint at going to war, and our government largely championed by the right wing pretty much says "How high, and whats the size of the hoop we should bring?"
