I don't know where this "over the top" rhetoric has been except maybe in your imagination. What Moghadam said in the quoted bits is little different from what I've said. I'm beginning to suspect that you now realize that you've painted yourself into a corner with your defense of Iran, and don't know how to get out. It's ok; we won't hold it against you if you admit you were wrong.
