    Israel has carried out hundreds of attacks on Iranian-linked targets in Syria in the past few years, but very rarely acknowledges the strikes.

    In that case, and this is probably the only time I will ever give that regime credit for anything, Iran has shown remarkable restraint.

      This is the reason why Iran and many in the Middle East believe the US to be the greatest evil. They’re constantly dealing with American and Israeli orchestrates terrorist attacks. The US’ involvement in the Middle East involves supporting the occupation and genocide of Palestine, giving military and financial to despots, funding and supplying rebels against any unfriendly governments, and a whole range of terrorist attacks targeting civilians, governments, and military alike. This is why Iran is building its “axis of resistance”- it’s a reaction to imperialism in the region and an attempt to regain some sovereignty over regional affairs.
