US Perspective on the Iran - Israel / US War

[Yasser76]

…….Iraq originally I’m assuming and I don’t believe Iran has threatened or harmed it’s neighbors in recent times and as one of the users here said Iran opened its arms to Kuwaiti civilians during the first gulf war and even opened its borders for a time being to afghans.
Hey I poke fun at Iranian corruption as much as Arab corruption but the biggest difference is push come to shove they fought back against Israel and trump and Arab leaders helped Israel in their fight against Iran sorry it’s just weird sad facts that are coming out daily.

Iran has not harmed it neighbours? It literally bombed Pakistan 2 years ago and backed Armenia against Azeris.

It didn’t bomb Pakistan it bombed terrorists there let’s keep facts straight and again who has Israeli military presence in Azeribajan but before that occurred Iran had a close relationship with Azerbaijan being that many Iranians have roots in Azeribajan.
Let’s see if we were back to living in a reality where Israel led by Bibi was killing Palestinians killing Syrians killing and killing Lebanese a reality in the 70s or 80s and a Muslim dominated country was being infiltrated by Israel from top to bottom with Israel’s weapons in their hands Arab countries would have shunned that country or worse cause civil war in that country

Iran’s policy is to seek and establish hegemony in the Middle East, creating instability across the region and the world. Few major global powers back Iran’s agenda.

When its policies face U.S. pressure, Iran attempts to draw all Muslim nations and Persian Gulf states into bearing the costs of its misguided policies.

 

[Watandar]

While it is true that U.S. policy has been interventionist and aggressive, mainly in support of allies in the area (Israel, Gulf Arab states), Iran has pursued its own strange campaign of aggression and intervention through proxies (Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis etc.) for no obvious reason other than opposition to Israel (and to lesser extent Arab neighbors).

Iran, Houthis, Hezbollah are reactions to 70 plus years of an American foreign policy that is entirely based on violence, destablization and autocracy so as to control the region and extract its resources. It didn't have to be this way.

Read a history book before belching such nonsense mister. The only hegemons in the Mideast for the last 100 years have been the West and Israel. Everyone else merely reacts to them.

Did not ask for reasons why, I just wanted to correct you when you stated Iran has not harmed it's neighbours. 2 Pakistani citizens died in Irans attacks on Pakistani soil

Your telling me didn’t ask for reasons(actual honest rational reasons) is simple Iran is the villain regardless if people on their side were killed by terrorists coming from another country and they were in hot pursuit of Pakistan would have done the same thing…..they have Afghanistan and they returned the favor in Iran with killing terrorists on their side innocent lives lost sucks but these were people in these terrorists hideouts as I recall….i feel like this is going to go nowhere you can have your opinion right or wrong I can have mine if you believe it’s right or wrong

Iran bombed Pakistan and killed two Pakistanis without trial. No evidence of any terror involvement was given to Pakistan afterwards.

That is not my "opinion" I have literally stated facts.

Much like Russia, Iran attempted to revive its former imperial sphere of influence. The difference is that while Russia is primarily paying an economic price, Iran risks far more severe consequences—potentially even the survival of the Islamic Republic in its current form.

Pakistan learned a hard lesson in 2021: there are no "good" or "bad" Taliban—only Taliban who ultimately cannot be trusted.

Likewise, many in the Muslim world have come to view the Pasdaran-e Inqilab (IRGC) in a similar light. From that perspective, there are no "good" or "bad" Pasdaran—only an organisation they see as oppressive, authoritarian and fascist.

And Pakistan has bombed many in Afghanistan without a trial honestly
From the internet when you ask if Iran has shared intelligence with Pakistan and showing after the tit for tat attack they became closer stull

• Continuous Dossier Exchanges: For years, Iranian officials have publicly stated that they provided Pakistani authorities with coordinates and evidence of Jaish al-Adl operatives taking shelter across the border. These groups have repeatedly attacked Iranian security forces near the shared border. [1, 2, 3]
• January 2024 Military Strikes: Frustrated with what it viewed as a lack of decisive action on the evidence shared, Iran launched missile and drone strikes into Pakistani territory targeting Jaish al-Adl hideouts in January 2024. Pakistan condemned the strikes, but the two nations quickly moved to de-escalate. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
• Enhanced Counter-Terrorism Cooperation: Following the January 2024 escalation, Iran and Pakistan agreed to station military liaison officers at their mutual border to coordinate intelligence and counter-terrorism efforts, officially acknowledging the necessity of acting on the evidence together

I feel like this is going off topic so I’m going to personally stop
