Agreed - Iran used to be a great country until CIA messed things up. They were very western. Now, not so much. The people that identify as Persians instead of Iranians are really nice. It is the govt that is really bad - much like ours.
The greatest con civil servants do is conflate the government and their country.
Rarely does a government, particularly a modern one represent the wishes or values of their citizens.
Governments have evolved into Ponzi schemes to enrich civil servants and protect political interests. They have no regard or respect for citizens, their employers.
They have been hostile since the CIA coup that installed the current religious nutjob regime in the 70’s.
Iran used to be secular like Siria. Sadam went to war with them to halt the spread of radical Islam, look where that got him.
Our greatest ally needs radical Islam as a tool to get the US involved in wars in Middle East so they can eventually build Greater Israel.
