I've Been Thinking:

If you want good insight into the thinking of Iranian leadership pay close attention to the Supreme Leader the Ayatollah Khamenei.

The Ayatollah recent gave a speech about the United States.
The speech was delivered to mark the 29th anniversary of the storming of the United States Embassy.

The upshot of the entire presentation was that Iran is justified in their hatred of the United States. Justified not because of the past few years, but because over the past 50 years the US has continuously tried to destabilize Iran.

He blames the CIA for the coup that ousted Mohammed Mosaddeq in the 50's. He blames the US for supporting the Shah.
He blames the US for the conflict in Iraq.
Khamenei blames the US for everything.

The most important lesson we can learn is that because Iranians consider their hatred of the United States as justified, that hatred cannot and will not fade away, not even if the United States changes policy under a new president.
That is the way Iranian leadership thinks.
