Because Iran attacks them relentlessly by proxxy? Hoothis, Hezbullah, Hamas, etc. It also wars with the kurds and had some fun in afghanistan? Iran is not pass

Because Iran attacks them relentlessly by proxxy? Hoothis, Hezbullah, Hamas, etc. It also wars with the kurds and had some fun in afghanistan? Iran is not passive - iran is active, a wannabe us (lets call it micro-satan) - that wants to do what russia did along its borders.

  Iranian proxies are responsible for well over 1,000 American deaths since 1979, and there were dozens of foiled plots on American soil and hundreds of individual militia attacks in Iraq and Syria, directed by Iran.

    For reference, how many times has the US interfered with Iran's government and how many people in Iran has the US killed since 1979? That's the only way to get a fair view of this discussion. Just wondering if all this happened in a vacuum or, god forbid, Iran maybe has some reason to dislike the US.

      this was a reply to people saying "Iran is not attacking the US". It is of course convenient to bend this discussion into a different direction, but this was a reply to blind propaganda that sees only one side as responsible for bad things.

        Why would Iran attack the US? Did they just randomly decide to hate America in 1979? Or did America do something that triggered that hate?

        An evil regime requires a constant “evil” enemy to justify its own existence.

      “What about…?” Does not make for a good argument.

        When the comment is a response to another that justifies current attacks on Iran because Irani proxies killed US, it matters a big F'ing deal that those were in retaliation of the US historically scuttling Iranian parliamentary democracy and killing 50K Iranians by way of chemical munitions alone through its proxy.

        No it doesn’t. The post was replying to this: >Iran doesn't use any of these to attack America. This is false, as the post explained. Saying “what about the US attacking Iran?” does not change the above being false. In fact the US attacking Iran does not change the above false either. Even if we accept both things as true: 1. Iran has historically attacked the US 2. The US has historically destabilized/attacked Iran It doesn’t change the fact that “Iran does not use any of these (proxy groups) to attack America” is a false statement. Skip me with your emotional arguments because I’ll just think you’re posturing and just trying to advance your agenda :-)

    [To the downvoter, downvoting is not going to change the historical facts] It was the US that upended Iranian parliamentary democracy with a military coup, sponsored chemical weapons attacks on Irani population (through its proxy Iraq). This killed some 30k to 50k by way of chemical attacks alone. Credible sources estimate 100K killed by these chemical weapons attacks alone. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraqi_chemical_attacks_against_Iran https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraqi_chemical_attacks_against... US shot down their passenger jet. US has imposed crippling sanctions that have decimated the economic well being of the country compared to what it could have been. Iran Air Flight 655 was an international scheduled passenger flight from Tehran to Dubai via Bandar Abbas that was shot down on 3 July 1988 by two surface-to-air missiles fired by USS Vincennes, a United States Navy warship. The missiles hit the Iran Air aircraft, an Airbus A300, while it was flying its usual route over Iran's territorial waters in the Persian Gulf, shortly after the flight departed its stopover location, Bandar Abbas International Airport. All 290 people on board were killed. No apologies yet. Talking about Iranian proxies alone is one-sided if you don't consider what US-Israel proxies have been doing to them. US Israel have inflicted 10 to 100X more Irani deaths than what Iran has done in retaliation. You are either ignorant or deliberately underplaying that. Most likely the latter.
