Explain Iran’s day of reckoning.
Do you remember back in the 1980s when the United States backed Iraq in a war against Iran that went on for eight years? Along with the fact that we supplied poison nerve gas to Iraq to use against the Iranians and that at least 800,000 Iranians died.

Do you think that might be a reason they hate us?

Iran is not the number one sponsor of state terrorism, they are pretty much last on the list and you can check that out with the United States state Department website.

Do you know who the main purveyors of state terrorism , war and are by financing it, Saudi Arabia and the other oil Gulf Nations . And they have been for the last 55 years.

The irony here is we think they are our friends, but we know actually that they have been funding terrorism for decades.

Laughable.

The United States Department of State explicitly designates Iran as the world’s foremost state sponsor of terrorism. The U.S. has maintained this classification since 1984, citing Iran’s provision of funding, training, and equipment to militant and proxy groups across the Middle East.You can verify this ongoing classification and the specific details of these activities by reviewing the U.S. Department of State Archive or the Council on Foreign Relations breakdown.

***********

The US didn’t directly supply Iraq with poison gas or chemical weapons prior or during the Iran Iraq war in the 1980’s.

European & US chemical producers sold civilian use chemicals, that Iraq turned into military weapons with their domestic producers.

We “turned a blind eye” & knew what Iraq was doing, but blunting the Iranian revolution was a top priority after the crazies took over Iran.
