The Iranian government is a bunch of evil assholes, just like the Israeli and US governments.
The need to paint everything in broad brush “Good v Evil” is what legitimizes these wars to begin with. The idea that you’re doing anyone a favor by bombing them should be ridiculous on its face. But we consistently build up this narrative of the Just War, we declare everyone we don’t like is Hitler, and then we throw more and more of the planet into the “Hitler” bucket when they aren’t along for the ride once the bombs land.
It’s just that they have been attacked by equally evil cunts.
When you kill off all the nice guys, what you’re left with are the assholes. The Iranian government is the end result of this multi-generational culling process. The American and Israeli governments are, too.
