    If you think so… I never said it is, this was purely objecting to the statement that Iran is a peaceful country. It’s a repressive regime that finances insurgent groups to put it lightly. Does that justify the attack that just happened? No. But still doesn’t make Iran peaceful

        I have also accused the US of it in this very thread, but in order to understand it, you’d need reading comprehension skills

        Also nobody has called “the other side” peaceful, so there’s no need for a rebuttal

            You already replied to it, here the text again:

            I mean otherwise [from context: saying that financing terror groups is a thing peaceful countries do] you could make similar claims about the US. Such a peaceful country! It wasn’t them overthrowing the legitimately elected governments, but local resistance groups! Who trained and armed them? How does this relate to the conversation?

            Here, what Iran does is applied to the US in an ironic manner, because I, the writer, assume that nobody thinks the US is a peaceful country, because I don’t think so either, hence calling them out though indirectly; but again nobody called them peaceful (rightfully so), so there was no need to spell it out, I assumed.
