I really don't care about the past besides the reign of the Prophet and four rightly guided Caliphs. After that is normal cycles of history taking place I don't hold any grudges over stuff in the past. I live in the present however, and Iranians make it more than obvious they hold an old ethnic grudge which is manifested in an sectarian fashion. That's why Shia like you can't comfortably attest to the fact that Imam Hussein and Hassan took part in the defensive campaign against Persia.
I am not shia (not even 12ver lol). All I am asking is that where and how did you get the idea that Iranians as a whole have this innate desire to destroy the Arabs as a reprisal for what happened during the fall of their empire?
Let me give you an example of what their real attitude was. In the 70s Oman was a client state of Iran and when the Dhofar rebellion had occurred both Iran and Saudi Arabia (Pakistan too to an extant) immediately attended to the situation by suppressing the marxist rebellion and worked together in bringing Oman back at its feet.
Mind you this happened during the Shah's time who really was an ethnic nationalist for Iran. If they really wanted the reprisal that they inherently desire (as you claim) they could have allowed the rebellion to continue and add to the fire such that the entire Gulf becomes a chaotic mess. Nothing like that happened. Instead they worked together with the Saudis lol
