Are you sure Pakistan is blamed? I found the following in the article you quoted:
Is there a connection between Jundallah and Pakistan?
Iran is claiming Pakistan is sheltering their leader, sort of like Afghanistan with Osama Bin Laden. Lets see where this goes.
Right, that certainly is cause for worry. All we need is for Iran and Pakistan to be in a state of war! That will probably minimize the gravity of the situation with the Taliban in Afghanistan by an enormous margin and completely change the dynamics of war in that area.

No, the Taliban would likely become a larger issue as they'd be at war with Iran as well. Free for all... With nukes.
Iran offered to help us invade, then President Bush went with that 'Axis of Evil' and ruined it, the idiot.
Well I guess then the US and Iran have at least one common cause. That has to be at least a positive in all of this.No, the Taliban would likely become a larger issue as they'd be at war with Iran as well. Free for all... With nukes.

Not really. Iran offered to help us invade Afghanistan. A few days later, President Bush called them part of the 'Axis of Evil'. Iran would likely tell us to go screw ourselves.
It's also in Israel's interest that Iran remain in the so-called "Axis of Evil". And as the Israel Lobby will tell you, what is in Israel's interest is always in the interests of the US.
That's why you give them so much cash and transfer so many free fighter jets.
Hillary Clinton and Obama have also acted quite firmly with Iran. Perhaps they have knowledge about Iran that we do not have, perhaps there is an element of truth about "Axis of Evil"?Not really.

The gov't is able to hold on to power because they can present us as an enemy. The moment we start acting nice, the gov't loses it's legitimacy. A theocratic gov't ruling a Western nation, it wouldn't take much to depose them.
To be truthful, I don't think the US matters as much to Iran as the US may think it does. Whether the US acts nicely or firmly do not really matter that much. Iran also now has an ally in Russia, so does not really have to worry about sanctions at all, anyway.
Really?!
Did they accept?
I'd always presumed before that CIS was a purely ex-USSR club?
I'll actually explain that one, i've decided. Iran and Turkey have an understanding that Iran will sell Turkey oil - which will be damn handy considering the nature of oil (i.e. a finite fossil fuel). Also, Turkey has adopted a kind of middle man position between Iran and the West. Iran has recently requested Turkey as a mediator a lot.
