Let’s remember it’s not called Iran. It’s the Islamic Republic of Iran. The Islamic Republic has funded IEDs, vests, vehicle borne delivery, etc. They may not have done vests directly, but definitely by proxy. You cannot by default sidestep the religious context that Iran operates under.
Persia was not this way.
Well we can’t go partisan here on the forum. But Im simply going by the openly Christian Bible quotes and commentary by the SecDef Hegseth during war updates, press briefings. This is not normal. As for Bibi, absolutely a religious zealot.
Religion is a driver for the problems in the ME, yes. That and land. It’s why you’ll never see a 2 state solution. Those hopes died with Rabin.
