Is a state were literally a Jihadist State, meaning the government supported Jihad, and the country was a base for Jihadist operations elsewhere, that state would have a regime change. So I don't think any such nations exist. Sure Iran does some naughty stuff, and so forth, but when it does, to the extent it does, it tries to hide it.

This focus on Iran right now is just silly. In the fight against ISIS, they are our ally. Extremist Sunni Islam is the real enemy and while the state apparatus of Qatar or Saudi Arabia may not be directly helping them, they are certainly on the side of ISIS in this civil war. Relying on them to wipe out ISIS would be a huge mistake as it is in their interest to keep ISIS (or related forces) alive and fighting Shias, Alawites, Kurds and anyone else who isn't Sunni Arab.

Yet all we hear about now is Iran. This is the same sort of misguided, ignorant idiocy that led to the Iraq war and the US is falling into the same trap again. Saudi Arabia is against the Iran deal. Just that fact alone tells me the deal is worth supporting.

Saudi Arabia has actually softened their opposition to the deal, now viewing it as a "poisoned chalice" for Iran.
