iran has only helped the che meh kunum speaking Northern factions inside the Afghanistan ...not the Sunnia Muslims and not against the Soviets rather against the Taleban government.
The so-called northern factions included Tajiks, Uzbeks and Turkmens ie Sunni Muslims. Yes, these Iranian-backed groups were fighting Soviet occupiers. We're talking of the 1980's, a period in which the Taleban had not formed yet.
ISIS emerged much latter inside the Iraq ...before that Iranian backed Militia had already lettered the streets of Baghdad and Basra...
They were not engaged in any civil strife however. That began in 2006 after "I"S bombed the Al-Askari holy shrine in Samarra.
Iran is a country and everyone has the right to have ties with it or not ...
So you agree Iran has backed plenty of Sunni islamist movements from across the world since 1979. Iran's foreign policy is not of a sectarianist nature.
None supported Iran against Iraq like Pakistan did but what was the payback? Backstabbing !
Baluch separatists and and RAW element on the contrary have always been helped by Iran to create instability in Baluchistan...
I don't believe in these allegations about Iran trying to destabilize Pakistan in partnership with India.
Just for the sake of precision, Libya (only up to a certain point and for a short period), North Korea and especially Syria helped Iran most during the Iran-Iraq war.
Iran was asked by the then Sultan Qaboos to intervene ...Sulatanate of Oman did not ask Oman only ...British SAS too was asked ...
Yes, and Iraq and Syria also asked Iran to intervene, so there's no difference here except that back then Iran was acting as America's regional proxy while today it is completely independent. And this proves Iran was pretty much involved in regional conflicts under the shah, which was my point to start with.
Interesting ...Iran is not kicking out thousands of zionist living in luxury inside Iran but it got worried about Lebanon which is a sovereign country? How about someday some group appears and say we want to kick out some 'elements' from Iran in the name of Allah ...what would be your posture then?
What thousands of zionists living in luxury inside Iran? First of all, of the 60000 Jewish Iranians who were there under the shah, only some 7000 remain in Iran. And, they are no zionists. Have you ever heard how Iran's sole Jewish MP is regularly condemning Isra"el" in the most unequivocal manner?
Lebanon was under occupation but Iran isn't. If you have an issue with assisting nations in their fight against illegal military occupation, then what can I say.
You choked on this one literally ....just like Qasim Suleimani ....and you are not denying the formation of Fatimyun and Zenabiyun who have been formed from the shia minorities of other countries rather than Iranis (who are living cozily inside). Shame !
You're mistaken, Iranians themselves volunteered in the thousands, fought and got martyred in Syria as well. So it's not a case of "rather than". As said, Muslims from all over the region volunteered to fight "I"SIS and the likes, Iran offered them training and equipment. I don't know what's wrong with that.
And this includes Sunnis too by the way, who happen to have their own brigades within Iraq's Iranian-sponsored PMU paramilitary corps, so yet again Iran's efforts here are not limited to the Shia denomination.
So those who did takfir of the head of a regime (Bashar Al Assad to whom people used to prostrate) became your instant enemy ?
No, those who chanted "Christians to Beirut, Alawis to the grave", received support from NATO and Isra"el" and met with Maryam Rajavi, leader of the exiled Iranian MKO terrorist grouplet, became Iran's enemies. Furthermore Iran and Syria have a mutual defence pact and Damascus assisted Iran in the 1980-1988 war against Saddam's Iraq. The Islamic Republic doesn't abandon its allies.
By providing help to a person to whom people would do sujood, whom exactly the Iran was confronting? Again, using an excuse to get in was the modu operandi ....nothing else.
Being officially requested to assist is not an excuse, it's a solid and pressing reason. And, that same person, President Assad, has been allowing Iran to supply the Lebanese Resistance, which is the only reason why Lebanon hasn't fallen into Tel Aviv's and Washington's orbit yet. That's another very good reason for Iran not to wish to see the Syrian government replaced by a hostile one. A third reason is that Hezbollah is in fact part of Iran's deterrence system against potential military aggression by the US regime. And if it were to get geographically isolated from Iran, Hezbollah would have been the next target after the Syrian government. Another objective reason for Iran to intervene.
Iranian presence and propaganda on the social media against Sheikhain, Sunni Scholars, and Sunni beliefs are far greater than US and Israel combined...
There's no such Iranian propaganda. Shias who oppose unity with Sunni Muslims are from the Shirazi clan, which is very hostile towards Iran's Islamic Republic. And I really doubt you are familiar enough with the sheer volume of anti-Iran propaganda, as well as with the zio-American sponsored Persian-language media. To even suggest that Iran has a fraction of their resources at its disposal for any international media campaigns is honestly outlandish.
Exactly...this is my point...they don't go for a war as they have started so many proxy wars in the region, that too in the name of Islam ...since 1979. Hajj Qasim Suleimani has said the same ...
My point was that Iran did not start any of the wars in the region since 1979, whether by proxy or otherwise. I provided the list of these conflicts and what triggered them above.
