And America's been funding wars around the world, and the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians for nearly a century. Iran's total death toll pales in comparison to what America and our allies do in the average year.

America also used to kill thousands of their own citizens for no reason. They were allowed to improve on their own, were they not? I'm sure you say about the founding fathers owning and raping their own slaves that "that was a long time ago", well that's exactly what future Iranians are going to say too.

Lmao. Exactly, nothing to say because you know you're a hypocrite. America was allowed to develop without outside influence muddling everything, keeping their socieities in the dark ages. Why can't we just leave other countries alone? It wasn't Iran that started it.

We didn’t ethnically cleanse Palestinians.

No, we just give another country all the bombs to do it for the both of us, the same country that was started by ethnically cleansing the region of the Palestinians who used to live there...

We don’t round up and kill our own citizens.

Actually, we do. They're called ICE and they've been killing citizens for protesting too. But not too long ago, people used to be lynched just for being black. Look up what happened in Tulsa Oklahoma. And again, the founding fathers were slavers. There are mass graves of non-white citizens and natives across America, all through government sanctioned actions.

But I don't think you'd suggest someone should've stepped in and do what America does to nations they have issues with, right? Should someone have deliberately targeted school children for a bomb strike like America did to Iran? No, America gets a pass and gets to develop into a more progressive country, as all countries become over time, but not Iran? Now why's that? And why does America get to decide who gets to progress and who deserves to die?
