But yes, of course I know Shiite military are active in the middle east. I mean, it is their region, right? I can sense militarism in your terminology. Shiite militia, sunni militia? How about state-sponsored violence in the name of oil? You would not call that ‘militia’ would you? Since you copy pasted some news articles as evidence, here is some articles that argue otherwise for you: https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/the-irrationality-of-americas-iran-hysteria_us_592d8d4ee4b0df57cbfd82ed https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/the-irrationality-of-am..., https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/jun/08/tehran-attack-isis-iran-west-shia-ally https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/jun/08/tehran... https://www.mepc.org/nuclear-terrorism-iranian-perspective https://www.mepc.org/nuclear-terrorism-iranian-perspective But none of these articles would be enough for you either. I will dismiss arguments that talk about Iran one-sidedly, not the evidence. You can also see more scholarly articles that talk about the complexity of the military and political affairs in the middle east. Not from an over-militarized point of view, but also from a justice, social and anthropological perspective: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/10357710600696118?journalCode=caji20 https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/1035771060069611... https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.2968/065001004?src=recsys https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.2968/065001004?src=r... the point is, you throw Iran and nuclear and militia around like they are not connected to a people, and the best of you just reduce the situation to a state vs. people point of view. Iranians have the right, just like any other people, to defense and safety. The evidence to Iran being a terrorist state does not exist and what you sent me is a list of politically motivated accusations. The evidence for Iran meddling in the region, yes. I think there is plenty of that, and yes, that’s bad, as long as we don’t compare it to other countries around the world that do a million times worse but are left alone because they are western allies. I don’t think I have to convince anyone about the chaos Western intervention has created in the region. Iran is evil because it does not comply to bullying. O I hope you can also find the time for nuancing your view.
