As usual with Iran, words are flung about understanding nothing. Iran is the center of Shia. They are not Sunni.

Hamas is Sunni. Repeat this over and over. Palestine is Sunni. Ditto.

The Shiites and Sunnis have hated each other for hundreds of years prior to 1949’s creation of Israel. Huge battles over the history have been fought. Actual combat battles, not people yelling at each other.

20% casualties in those wars. Think about that. Think of what 20% casualties of the US Army would mean. They hate each other.

About 85% of the world of Islam is Sunni. This is deceptive because of Asia. It’s nearly all Sunni, particularly Indonesia with its enormous population.

Iran, Iraq, Azerbaijan and Bahrain are all majority Shiite. Then they have scattered huge minorities in many countries. “There are as many Shiites in India as in Iraq”

So there is text in the article saying Iran supports Hamas. It’s just not so. Hamas is Sunni. They DO unquestionably support Hezbollah, but that’s up in Lebanon, nowhere near Gaza.
