I agree with the extortion angle, but I’m not so sure about the other. Sure, Obama would like to get more “street cred” and go after Iran. I also think that maybe his Saudi buddies want a piece of Iran. In any case, Ahmadinejad is as crazy as Obama is dumb if he doesn’t the Obama will send in Troops to die. The Election is too far off for this to be done for Obama’s benefit.
