Source for this article is Israeli news. Sharing because this is the the complete opposite of what has been said to us by american media the last few hours while the markets get manipulated. We will find out in the coming hours/days but figured to share what this other side is reporting

    Iran, by a wide margin. But it’s beside the point and I reject the premise of your argument. You are implying that the primary category a country should be judged by is the treatment of its own citizens.

    While that is a category a country should be judged by, it is not the only one. How a country treats people in other countries is also a factor, and in that category America is a global empire that extracts wealth from the third world and uses it to enrich its oligarchs. This also factors into the former category, as some of this wealth is used to increase the standard of living for Americans and thus buy off the population. Iran does not have the benefit of using imperial holdings to increase its citizens standard of living, but that also means it doesn’t loot other countries.

      The terrorism threat to Western nations from Iran-linked actors is significant and multifaceted, operating through four simultaneous vectors: direct Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) agents, criminal proxies, Hezbollah sleeper networks, and radicalised lone offenders.

      But I’m guessing that this is self-defence from your point of view?

          Sorry, it seems that the Supercommunist Tank for Correct-Thinking Comrades hasn’t written a piece about this, so I cannot help you there.

          Less jokingly, the article is fully sourced. Did you read it? Did you even browse it through?

          How about you read it.

            The “sources” are just intelligence agencies claiming that there were definitely totally a bunch of Iranian terror attacks that they foiled. This would not be the first thing they lied about. To be frank, if you believe this shit you’re a simpleton.
