There is only one enemy Iran needs to view as a threat and that is the genocidal Daesh.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, (click here) the supreme leader of Iran, voiced support on the weekend for his country's nuclear deal with world powers while emphasizing that the agreement did not signal an end to Iran's hostility toward the United States and its allies, especially Israel....
...President Barack Obama has insisted that the agreement is "not built on trust - it is built on verification." Khamenei portrayed it as an acceptance by the West of Iran's commitment to go ahead with a nuclear program, which its leaders have insisted is being pursued solely for peaceful purposes....
The fact is no leader or citizen ever saw the nuclear program as anything but peaceful. That goes back to the beginnings of the Iranian Revolution. But, there is research Iran was pursuing that resembled an effort to move forward with missiles. For that reason, Iran needs to comply with all the inspections and insist on removing sanctions.
All too often in the USA there are political statements about 'the money.' It seems as though the Iranian nuclear program was not the issue so much as a fiscally stronger Iran and it's capacity for conventional war.
Iran needs to address it's diaspora by talks with other leaders in the region to insure all Iranian citizens are regarded as citizens no different than any other ethnicity or religious preference. The sooner there is mutual respect among the regions nations, including Afghanistan the sooner Daesh will become a memory than an enemy.
President Assad needs to welcome power sharing and Iran needs to stay out of it.
