Did you get upset when the Islamic occupiers took over Iran in 1979 and stated 'we have defeated/ended Persian culture/civilization'?
And no, it was not metaphore. Trump was threatening them and stating his intent. Israel wants exactly that too. The claim here is not that iran loves america. The claim here is that Iranians hating on country that put in hated king in 1979 is weak argument about how Trump in 2026 wanted.
For that matter, American army is still murdering fishermen, it is not like it had norms against crimes.
Israels attacks on civilian infrastructure are not random or accidental either. They are the literal strategy and goal.
> I've seen frustration from the US side that Mojtaba Khamenei is MIA.
This is just US side being dumb, honestly.
By and large this is not true. The US and Israel have hit Iran tens of thousands of times, and have never hit a pure civilian target on purpose. They've hit dual use targets, and accidentally hit civilian targets, but not ones on purpose. They could flatten Tehran if they wanted to hit civilians.
> Plus its idea of regime change is to keep regime intact and change head (see Venezuela), so there is no one who would had actual reason to want America win.
You're not entirely wrong here, and I've seen frustration from the US side that Mojtaba Khamenei is MIA (or dead).
