I think Iran's Mullahs are already confounded! ;-) They are being confronted very aggressively by a superpower which has invaded and occupied two of their immediate neighbours upon the most spurious excuses, has shot down one of their civilian airliners, and has repeatedly threatened them with possible attack even to the level of using nuclear weapons...all supposedly because they are enriching uranium to theoretically "make a nuclear bomb", when in fact they have every legal right to enrich all the uranium they want to (to produce nuclear power), since they are a signatory to the nuclear non-proliferation act which GIVES them that legal right.

They're already bloody well confounded. Why wouldn't they be? Anyone would be confounded under such a circumstance. Obama does not need to confound them further.
