    This is because the reality in the region is that the US is assisting Israel in a war of territorial expansion that involves all of those countries. Iran knows that it’s not enough to merely convince the west to stop attacking just them, because they know that this alone does not cease Israel’s lebenstraum. If Palestine and Lebanon fall then Syria and Iraq are next, and that means doom for Iran.

          Iran falling to Israeli expansion. Iran and Israel are basically equals in both armaments and atrocities.

            Declining the sidequest invitation, I think that Iran would rather the conflict never have to escalate to that point.

            You are calling Israel’s genocide equivalent to Iran’s human rights violations?

              Iran helped Israel start the Genocide, sending Russian and Chinese guns, bombs, and money, with Netanyahu’s help, to Hamas leading up to the October Music Festival attack at the start of the war.

              Iran also killed tens of thousands of its own civillians directly before the US attacked, for protesting in the streets. Many more indirectly due to the famine.

              Iran is to China what Israel is to the USA.
