Please list all wars initiated by Iran during the last 50 years. As that will probably not take too long, maybe you can also tell us with which neighbours Iran has been at war during the last 50 years.
- dsfyu404ed 11y agoBetter yet, try listing wars between nuclear armed nations. When everyone can hurt everyone regardless of size you get a "mexican standoff" which is good for stability
- cies 11y agoWhile at it, make the same list for the US.
- tome 11y agoIran has been at war with Israel for at least 30 years via its proxies Hezbollah and Hamas.
- jcranmer 11y agoIn the past year, Iraq and Syria. Possibly Palestine/Israel, Yemen, and Afghanistan, depending on your definitions. Beyond that, I know they did do the Iraq-Iran war several years back, and I think they were involved in the Lebanese civil war as well. I don't actually consider myself a particularly knowledgeable individual when it comes to Middle Eastern history. But when people say things like this, they usually include all the marginal entries the US is involved in while ignoring all of the marginal entries other countries, presumably mostly out of ignorance. Particularly if you include "little" conflicts, you'll find that most countries spend most of their time in armed conflict with somebody, and the US isn't particularly abnormal in this regard.
