Yeah, because they do it through a proxy.
They support numerous terror groups and are supporting the terrorists in Iraq who are killing U.S. forces and allies by providing money, men and arms. Yeah, they are so innocent. BTW, It's debatable on who actually started the Iraq/Iran war.

... like the US did it in the past, like Russia did it, like China and so on. He is talking about actual wars. 40 years ago those organizations were called "freedom fighters" or "partisans", now they are terrorists.
I understand, that you try to "spread democracy" even in this forum, but please stay on the topic

Don't think that IF there is a war between Iran and Israel/US we (the EU) will back you up again. Also, I don't think Russia or China will actually go to war because of Iran - they will back them up with weapons, money but thats it.

Wow do your own research...........the leadership became "arab" after 1979..............
Yeah, because they do it through a proxy.
A) We would be helping Israel, not fighting their battle.
B) They are our friends.
In fact, the first thing people said when I asked what they wanted the world to know about them was, "We are not Arabs!" (followed closely by, "We are not terrorists!"). A certain Persian chauvinism creeps into the dialogue. Even though economically they're not performing as well as Arab states like Dubai and Qatar, they still feel exceptional. The Arabs who conquered Iran are commonly regarded as having been little more than Bedouin living in tents, with no culture of their own aside from what Iran gave them, and from the vehemence with which they are still railed against, you would think it happened not 14 centuries ago but last week.
I met a woman at a wedding who gave off the air of an aging movie star, her dapper husband beside her wearing his white dinner jacket and smoking out of a cigarette holder, and it wasn't five minutes before she lit into the Arabs.

...if all things are equal.

the iran- iraq war was started by iraq with a ground invasion , border skirmishes are just , skirmish it is NOT a war.
