@SW-User You seem to miss an underlying cultural point here. Unlike all the other Arab nations, Iran is different. These people are "Persians" and see themselves as a great and seperate civilization. They were on a western path under the Shah, but after that they became a strong theocracy, and all the while saw themselves as seperate. Now they simply fund local arab resistence in countries in the region, and encourage aggression against any pro western efforts. This Proxy aggression is cheaper and more effective than a front attack, which they will lose. If push comes to shove, Israel will simply remove Iran from the map. But that will require the permission of America to do it. That Israel is being brutal against the Palestinians is not at issue. They surely are. But all this is in response to acts of aggression from withing Palestine, or Lebanon. All using locals as human shields. Its a brutal dirty horrible situation on both sides.. 😷
