Iran is always on the "wrong side" of American interests, and unabashedly and vocally in a way that their mouths were writing checks their butts couldn't cash-- you know, a "bully".
Terrorism:
- Hamas existed because of Iran
- Palastinian Islamic Jihad existed because of Iran
- Hezbollah existed because of Iran
- The Anti-American insurgency post-Iraq war existed because of Iran
- Houthi terrorists existed because of Iran
- Piracy on the high waters and oil tanker attacks exist due to Iran
- 10/7 happens because of Iran
Not only that, but Iran was a coward (as all bullies truly are deep down). Always avoiding directly doing anything but having their minions do their dirty work. And like all bullies, when punched in the nose, the truth is they are weak and cowards and projecting their insecurities. Iran has comported itself very poorly since 10/7 and should be shamed.
