Glad you asked. I'll be the last to dismiss the Iran threat. It is quite real. That is, Iran seems clearly to be developing nuclear capability to include weaponry. VERY scary. In fact, it cannot be allowed to come to pass. So no, I am not relaxed about this and Iran does NOT get a pass.
But yeah, I have NO confidence in our current "president" to deal with this effectively. I want to think he's smart enough to notice that the United States does not shoulder primary responsibility for a military response. Nor do we possess the most effective capability of handling the military option, if one must take place. I want to think he will not take that hand-off from Israel. I want to think he's at least that smart. Or that responsible, in terms of protecting his nation's security. But I don't. I don't think he's that smart, but I think he has advisors who potentially are, and I think he's not as arrogant or reckless as he used to be. But unfortunately, I also believe he places WAY too much weight on factors other than national security. In other words, I think he's not only capable, but also INCLINED to place my nation at greater risk. It's a terrible conclusion, but I think he's earned it.
