Merc, did you get what tw posted?

He is saying Iran is more extreme because that is their response to the US's outside threat against them just as we responded with extremism when we felt threatened by terrorists or whoever.

This can be seen in with McCartney and the red scare as well. Usually, whenever a country feels threatened by an outside force, that country will move to conservative extremism because that gives the people a sense of security.

There has been rumor of an attack against Iran for the past couple years and we are accusing them of aiding terrorists, which (they may think) is enough justification for us to attack them. They watched as we attacked Iraq with lies as justification and the propaganda against Iran is mounting along with their propaganda against us. This is more than enough for them to lead to extremism.
