Why does America hate Iran?

Posts 1–15 of 66 · Page 1 of 5

America has kidnapped Iranians, meddled in their politics, funded Saddam to attack them for 10 years, shot down an Iranian commercial jet, manipulated it's leaders, constantly threatened Iran with invasions and for what? They don't have nuclear weapons, never implied they wanted nuclear weapons, signed the anti-proliferation treaty, allow IAEA inspections, have never attacked America except for taking a few hostages and then releasing them unharmed (while America was convincing Iraq to attack them mind you). What is America's reason for constantly picking on Iran?

Yeah but that was also a consequence of the 1953 Iranian coup d'etat who overthrow the democratically elected government of Mohammad Mosaddegh orchestrated by the intelligence agencies of the U.S and the U.K under the name TPAJAX Project..The overthrow of Iran's elected government in 1953 ensured Western control of Iran's petroleum resources and prevented the Soviet Union from competing for Iranian oil.Between 300 and 800 people were killed during and as a direct result of the conflict.After the coup, M. Reza Pahlavi ruled as an monarch for the next 26 years, until he was overthrown in a popular revolt in 1979.When the Shah fell, memories of the U.S. intervention in 1953, which made possible the monarch's subsequent, and increasingly unpopular, 25-year reign intensified the anti-American character of the revolution in the minds of many Iranians.

Iran has offered the United States the complete ability to check out every aspect if their country, Bush's administration just made them out to be evil so many times no one wants to hear it. After 9/11 hundreds of thousands f Iranians held a candlelit vigil for the victims, and had a moment of silence at Tehrans football stadium, though I found that out only on BBC, no American news outlet reported this.

Our government is filled with pompous assholes. Iran doesn't have much to give us so we don't care about them. It's fucked up.

One word: Propaganda.

Afraid of Irans nuclear

Americas

Cause Israel hates Iran, and whatever our "ally" hates we hate as well.

It's all speculation. America is against Iran because they have nothing to give us. Have you noticed our ally's all give us something in return? Iran has requested help and supervision over their nuclear projects, but America continues to spout off that they are building weapons without sending in advisors on the matter. It's how the gov't rolls.

Oh really? Because he doesn't seem to be specific in his hate. I.e. the hollocaust never happened, remarks about jews, and such. Oh well, facts without proof are but words.

Do you see the rabbis there?

Also, he has never once said he hated Jews. He has stated many times that there are Jews in Iran, and they are protected under the law. He is just anti-Zionist.

He has repeatedly called for the end of Israel, but never for the death of Jews. Questioning genocide does not translate to hate for a particular group. If that were true, then wouldn't Turkey get slapped as "racist" for questioning the Armenian genocide?

Anti-zionism =/= Anti-semitism. Just like criticizing the American or Chinese government doesn't translate to hate for the people (most of the time).
