Coupla three things about Iran:

~After the Iranian Revolution, out of patriotism for their country, many military officers stayed and fought against Iraq which invaded their country at the behest of the Reagan junta, similar to French officers of the Ancien Regime who fought against British and Prussian invaders seeking to overthrow Napoleon.

~After being with Iraqi chemical weapons in their decade-long war, the Iranian theocracy refused to allow the military to counterattack Iraq with their own chemical attacks, issuing a fatwa against the use of WMDs as they "would despoil nature."

~Israel's Mossad, using local assassins from the MeK or PJAK, murdered Iranian nuclear scientists, at least five known of publicly.

~Iran has been careful to avoid causing American casualties over the past several years to not fall into Benjamin Netanyahu's trap; Iran's proxies or allies have counterattacked against US forces in Iraq or against oil tankers in the Horn of Africa.

~Israel cynically and callously caused the death of dozens of spies and the arrest of scores of them in Iran who were easily netted by the MOIS when the IDF began its illegal bombing campaign against Tehran. I cannot think of another spy agency that got so many of its sources killed or arrested in one year.

~Under Barack Obama, the US and the UN were negotiating with Iran and monitoring their nuclear facilities which, amongst other things, was producing radioactive isotopes for their thousands of cancer patients.

~Iran signed the NNPT and allowed IAEA inspectors into their facilities; Israel never signed the NNPT and never allowed IAEA inspectors into their facilities. Under the START program, US and Russian inspectors would visit each others nuclear sites. One of my generals led the On-Site Inspection Agency (OSIA) which later became DTRA.

~Israeli PM Golda Meir: "You don't make peace with your friends." Israel's rightwing needs a perennial enemy to distract from the landgrab and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, which Tehran (and most of the world) disapprove of. So Tel Aviv and Tehran will never achieve what Golda Meir mused 55 years ago.

There are too many citations to count.

Sources:

Israel won't benefit without Iran being hostile to them. It is a bad look for IDF to conquer the rest of Eretz Yisrael without having Iran as a scapegoat.

ICYMI:

Candace Owens blames the Zionists for ousting Venezuela President Nicolas Maduro:

"Venezuela has been liberated' like Syria, Afghanistan, and Iraq were liberated.' The CIA has staged another hostile takeover of a country at the behest of a globalist psychopaths. That's it. That's what is happening, always, everywhere," she continued.

"Zionists cheer every regime change. There has never been a single regime change that Zionists have not applauded because it means they get to steal land, oil and other resources. Hope this helps."

This Yahoo! article intimates that Candace Owens is antisemitic and that she is "Jew scapegoating," but her tweet is anti-Zionist, not antisemitic.

US Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Mexico President Claudia are Ashkenazi Jews and have been critical of Israel's pogrom against the Palestinians; these two respected leaders are from being antisemites.

The accusation of "antisemitism" by the Israeli Likud junta against their critics is falling flat.
