> Ok, I don't see a comparison happening. Israel seems to kill americans on a regular basis. Saudi arabia doesn't seem to be much friendlier either, not to mention refusing to align with our proclaimed values

Both statements are false, Israel does not "kill americans on a regular basis" and Saudi Arabia has not supported proxy warfare killing thousands of Americans.

The links I pasted are well established to Iran, I can post more but that would waste both of our time as you try to synthesize new facts

Have you not turned on the news recently? The IDF regularly bombs american citizens living in palestine.

Then there's the USS Liberty bombing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Liberty_incident

Not to mention the likely hundreds of americans assassinated by mossad, cf Rise First And Kill

Have you never heard of 9/11? Also Wtf are you referring to? None of the proxy wars allegedly funded by iran (as if we haven't done orders of magnitude more evil things with proxy wars, cf the war in ukraine) have killed "thousands of americans".

And frankly, even if this were credible, who could blame them given the sanctions? We're actively destroying their ability to live life for seeming no reason other than arbitrary geopolitical control.
