The nuanced verbiage of the article is overshadowed by the lead graphic, showing the US leader being punched. This, along with current context of Iranian-organized mob assaults on the US embassy in Iraq (including burning the lobby), plus plenty of other incidents, makes it hard to accept the "they're just saying they don't like meanies" explanation.

Hanging gays for being gay, beating/jailing women for not wearing scarves, frequently declaring intent to bomb Israel for merely existing, obviously building nukes for that purpose, funding & operating terrorism worldwide (hence Soleimani hit), normalizing "Death to America" chants nationwide, etc. Stop bullying others and others will stop sanctions.
