Technically that's true of the Iranians too. You can't credibly say that Israel or the U.S. hasn't been 'messing with them' for ages, can you?
- eitland 6y agoIran funds Hezbollah that operates next to Israel. It is well known. Iran is suspected to fund and ship rockets that are used against Israel. I won't say it is confirmed but it will be no bif surprise if the rumors are confirmed. Iran officials often speak about eradicating Israel. The opposite never happens. Israel is not known to operate any milits in or around Iran, they are not suspected of shipping rockets to Irans neighbors and they are not known to talk enthusiastically about flattening Iran or killing its inhabitants. I think we can agree that it is a poorly kept secret that they are probably behind a number of assassinations, industrial espionage and possibly sabotage but the difference is still enormous.

They also funded militias in Syria. > they are not suspected of shipping rockets to Irans neighbors The US does that for them. > hey are not known to talk enthusiastically about flattening Iran or killing its inhabitants. Hamas offered Israel a ceasefire and Netanyahu responded by going on camera and ripping up the offer.
