There was once an Arab/Persian world where most of the important people and important countries were our friends. They wore Western clothing, they sent their children to the best U.S. schools (not to become troublemakers but to become leaders), they carried out joint military training exercises with us, they drank with us, and we helped them enjoy the good life. This was in my lifetime.
TPTB, however, thought they could make more money and acquire more power over us by stirring up trouble, by supporting haters and murderers, and by supplying them with arms paid for with our petrodollars and the CIA's black budgets.
The Persian rug will be pulled out from under all the Deep Staters and their autocratic buddies -- and comity will once again reign. Let it reign.
I hope you are right, however, I am not holding my breath thinking it will be done peacefully.
These people do not value life and there is no reasoning with that, there is only destruction because that is all they know. JMO

The Persian culture was one of the most advanced in the world. Then the “religious leaders” took over.
