Iranian "paranoia"

“Paranoia” i show the western media has described the Iranian attitude.

If you were faced by an Israel with nuclear weapons (not to mention India and Pakistan) and were surrounded by a military power that has a beligerent foreign policy  (along with Arab neigbours), military bases in all the surrounding countries and weapons that nobody else (even the Russians) has - well, would you call that “paranoia”

Iran, it could be pointed out has not attacked another country for 200 years.

The following map is taken from that article.
