What exactly is unreasonable about them wanting to stand up for and defend themselves against foreign aggressors who threaten them daily?
By "reasonable" you basically mean they should agree to whatever the US wants. That has certainly been the position of the US Government for the past 70 years. Do as we say, or die.

60% of Iran's population is under 30 years old. Many of these people are much less radical religiously than their elders. The hope is that over the next 10-15 years as this huge group comes to power they will make Iran a more open society that is willing to be reasonable in dealing with WMDs and nuclear power.

You think anyone in the Government gives a shit how religious people are there? It's about acquiescing to US domination. If those people under 30 years old don't accept who their Master is, we'd spin a bunch of lies about them too to engineer an attack. Or just overthrow them.
