Noam Chomsky, "Is Iran a threat?" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdxxVxtHK2M

(... no)

A nuclear armed Iran is very definitely a threat. Much of the middle east considers Iran to be an enemy, and if Iran gets nukes, the rest of the middle east will feel compelled to follow.

The west has been working to counter Iran's ongoing nuclear weapons program for decades.

Since 1945 the United States of America never attacks countries that are actual threats, we should have learned this by now.

Does not sound like Chomsky is saying "no, iran isn't a threat" to me.
